✅Learning the meaning of different word roots will help you make educated guesses about the meaning of unfamiliar words, and you'll begin to see commonalities among words that share the same root.

What does it mean when a millennial says, "It's lit,?

🔥“It’s Lit” means its on Fire.. And we know that everything on-fire is awesome..

Assuming that the speaker of this phrase is referring to a party, then he’s trying to say that this party is cool.

🔥An old slang word made new again. ... 'Lit' has been a slang term meaning "intoxicated" for over a century. More recently, it has acquired the meaning"exciting," as well as a broader meaning along the lines of "excellent."
