While I was studying, I didn't figure out some sentence's exact meaning. Help me!
(1) When people undermine your dreams, predict your doom or criticize you.
What does the"doom" mean?
It is like destiny? life??
When I was searching it on google, there are only story of game... omg..
(2) Despite empathetic demands, the staff only stalled when I asked for a new room,
On the sentence, what is the empathetic demand?
and as well as I can't figure out the "stall"'s meaning.
(3)propensity to, prone to
->She has a propensity to exaggerate.
->He is prone to exaggerate.
Those sentences are from Korean English Dictionary.
Can I use these example sentence on casual conversation?
like, um I have a propensity to give up.
