Question 3

giggle

Answer 3

/ˈɡɪɡ.əl/
almost the same
but a bit different on intensity.

giggle means to laugh in a silly way.
giggle: HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA
laugh: haha haha

Giggling is a way of laughing. It’s usually high pitched, uncontrollable, and bouncy in tone. People giggle when they’re excited, when they’re feeling silly, or if someone made a subtle joke/roast. (A roast/burn is an insult in a humorous manner.)
Regular laughter only lasts a few seconds. It usually happens when people make an intentional joke that they find funny, or if they are mocking somebody. A laugh that is meant to mock somebody wouldn’t be called a giggle.

Question 7

let go of me or let me go

Answer 7

“Let go of me” means release someone, leave their hand or something.

“Let me go” means allow me to go, request a permission from someone to go. (You are free and not clutched from your hand or captive just as “let go of me” but you request for a permission).

‘Let go of me’ is commanding someone to release you physically, in much the same way that ‘Let go of the cup’ commands someone to release the cup physically.

‘Let me go’ can be a physical command, but it can also be a metaphysical command. The difference in terms comes from the fact that someone can have different types of ‘hold’ on you. They could be physically detaining you, but they may also be holding you through authority and not letting you go to the cinema, for example.
