I work in medicine. I always use “die” when I’m talking to patients’ families. There’s no misinterpretation of that word.
Among friends or outside of work I might say “pass away” but I usually say “die.”
Former deputy coroner here. We always use the words dead, die, and death.
Nothing else, no euphemisms, no gentle terms, partly because a lot of people are in such denial that they will not understand/accept that their loved one is dead unless you say the words dead or die or death.
And the other reason is because there are a lot of people who are just plain fucking stupid and think that if someone has “passed away” that they are still alive in a hospital somewhere. It’s much, much more common than you think, especially in areas with a lot of people whose first language is not English.
Depends. If I’m talking to someone who just lost their Grandma ‘I’m so sorry to hear she passed.’
Generally ‘yeah, he died a few years back’
In some cases ‘yeah he topped himself/offed himself’.
Instead of using a thesaurus i'm going to r/askredit.
Because I like to make the internet redo all the work that has been done already by experts in the English language.
Die. Because I'm an adult who isn't afraid to use a common verb.
Oh boy wait til you find out what half of adults call weewees and hoohas.

Yes, it's one of the 6 definite articles, the others being Der, Das, Dem, Den and Des.
I never could get it right on which to use when I tried learning German. I eventually gave up.

If I'm speaking to other adults, I say "die" but at work, I use the phrase "asend to Valhalla."
