A quick definition of free:

Free: When something is free, it means you can have it without paying any money. It can also mean that you have the right to make your own choices and do what you want without someone else telling you what to do. For example, a free person is someone who is not a slave and can make their own decisions. Free can also mean that something is not held back or restricted, like a bird that is free to fly in the sky.

A more thorough explanation:

Free is an adjective that can mean:

  1. Having legal and political rights, such as a free citizen or a free populace.
  2. Not being controlled or dominated by another person or group, such as a free person who is emancipated.
  3. Being able to make choices without being forced or constrained, such as having free will.
  4. Not being burdened or encumbered, such as land that is free of any obstacles.
  5. Not being confined or restrained, such as being free from prison.
  6. Not being restricted or regulated, such as having free trade.
  7. Costing nothing, such as free tickets to a game.

Free can also be used as a verb, meaning to liberate or remove a person or animal from a constraint or burden.

  • A free citizen has the legal and political rights to vote and express their opinions.
  • After being emancipated, the slave was finally a free person who could make their own choices.
  • Having free will means that you can choose what you want to do without being forced or coerced.
  • The land was free of any encumbrances, which made it easier to build on.
  • After serving their sentence, the prisoner was finally free from confinement.
  • Free trade allows businesses to operate without being restricted or regulated by the government.
  • The concert tickets were free, so we didn't have to pay anything to attend.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of free, such as having legal and political rights, being able to make choices, and not being confined or restrained. The verb form of free is also shown in the example of liberating a person or animal from a constraint or burden.

Bio Chemistry is odd, some ppl just cannot absorb certain nutrients/vits. Like some calcium deficient ppl actually loose more calcium when they increase intake.
