milk

A white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals to nourish their young. From certain animals, especially cows, it is also called dairy milk and is a common food for humans as a beverage or used to produce various dairy products such as butter, cheese, and yogurt.

How to use

In everyday conversation, 'milk' is often used as a noun to refer to the white liquid produced by mammary glands. For example, 'I'm lactose intolerant, so I don't drink milk.' However, in some contexts, 'milk' can also be used as a verb, as in 'to milk a cow.' This nuance is often overlooked by non-native speakers, who may mistakenly use 'milk' as a verb in situations where it's not appropriate. Additionally, 'milk' can also be used to describe a creamy or smooth texture, as in 'this cake has a rich milk flavor.'
