覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
sun + burnt で「太陽に焼かれた」と分けると覚えやすい。burnt は burn の過去分詞で、cooked や broken のように「その状態になった」感覚。sunburnt は肌が赤くヒリつく日焼けを指し、健康的に色づく suntanned とは違う。be/get sunburnt, badly sunburnt, sunburnt skin の形でよく出る。sunburned もほぼ同義なので、語尾違いで迷っても意味は同じと押さえる。
Split it into `sun + burnt`. That gives a clear picture: skin burnt by the sun. Also compare it with `suntanned`: `sunburnt` sounds painful and red, while `suntanned` sounds healthy and brown.
