easy
/ˈiːzi/
When used as an adjective, "easy" often describes a task or a feeling. It is very common in everyday conversation. Be careful with the phrase "easy on someone." This means being kind or lenient toward them, rather than making a physical object easier to handle. While "easy" is primarily used as an adjective, it can occasionally function as a verb meaning to soothe or calm, though this usage is less common in modern daily speech compared to the word "ease".
