☆  divulge 暴露する

============================

Another formal word, like yesterday. Today’s word means to tell someone a piece of secret of private information. Words with similar meaning, that are less formal are: reveal, declare, let slip (although this is more “accidental” in nuance.”) and if the information is about yourself, then you could also use “confess.”

Often when someone divulges some information, it is because they are forced to do so, for example, by the police – someone might be forced to divulge the location of another person. Or even in a personal situation, you might be forced to divulge to your boss which coworker had made the mistake. Or if you have a favorite location to go for on vacation, if you share photos, but not the location, your friends might force you to divulge the location!! Ha ha 😀

Bye,
