Dirty
0 Hi, 02 br
00 this is such a basic question... what's the opposite of the verb "to clean"? I have to admit I don't know how to say "to make something dirty". There should be the verb "to dirty", but I don't think it's commonly used in everyday English. Or maybe it is, LOL. 02 br
00 Thanks 05 0 010id 1
