buat yang suka nonton film atau sitkom berbahasa inggris mungkin sering denger kata yang satu ini. swell.

ada hubungannya ama kata swollen alias bengkak ga ya?

well artinya emang ukuran(nya) membesar. atau tingkatannya semakin intens.

pride swelled within me. kebanggaan saya (semakin) membuncah.

eh tapi kata swell ini di percakapan non formal bisa berarti good, wonderful, keren gitulah. misal gini nih

x : you know i can take you to the movie now.
y : swell!

so kiddo, udah ngerti dong yah?
udah?
SWELL!

    Thanks for sharing. I came across to news of the Jakarta Globe on the swelling City as the the problem of Jakarta. Your posting made me more understood on this idiom.
