Euphemism is a nice way of saying something unpleasant.

I understand it but I can not do the homework that my teacher gave me. She wants me give some example for euphemisms and it's from your own country (she means Vietnam) >.<

Some example that she gave us is:

1. This cake has a very interesting flavor.
2. When you buy this house, you'll have plenty of room for expansion.
3. That child has a very healthy appetite.

I got one but I wasn't sure about it:

When you buy this car, I'm sure you can go around the world.

Please help me quick, I need it. >.< Thanks first guys.

I left Vietnam when I was 10 so not much to remember but I'll give it a try, forgive me if it's incorrect : )

1: Don't worry about your gas running out, there are thousands of gas stations at each corner (Illegal gas venders)
2: When you park your motorcycle, park it properly and accordingly otherwise it'll run away (Again, theft)

It's kind of hard for me so I call it quit lol, I'm sorry xD
I wonder if you should give examples from Vietnam or not. Because it's our country and we wouldn't want to use "euphemism," would we? :P
Good luck :3

Thank you so much, I think the second one is good. Yeah, this is hard for me to use euphemism from Vietnam. (*.*) I remember we always tell exactly what we want to say, not euphemism. I still try to make some more euphemism sentences. Thanks for help.

I hope it helped ^.^, and not a problem at all, anytime :P
Yeh, that is one, and another reason is...I just don't want to say anything bad about our country =P
Got to go to school, I'll see you later : )
