Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Yield"

A: I give up

A: Yield means ‘to produce’

...that are most likely to produce a good result.

A: Promise here has the meaning that something has a lot of hope to succeed. For example, if a business isn't as successful as it promised to be, it means that when people started the business, they thought it would be very successful, and it had every indication of being a success, but for whatever reason it was not as successful as people had hoped.

A: Right...I understand it ... now how do I explain it...

Here, 'yield' means how much product you get out compared to the amount of ingredients you put in.

Reduction is where you cook something liquid, and it reduces in size and becomes thicker. E.g. if you make your own stock. Water boils off and what remains becomes more concentrated.

Because the cooking cream is extra thick, things you make with it will be thick already, and not need reduction to make them thicker. Therefore, you lose less water, and get more final product because you haven't lost water. Therefore 'extra yield' compared to standard cream.

Does this make sense?

A: yield and produce are synonymous.

A: They both carry the same meaning, but personally I think a different tone.

So the context of the topic is the deciding factor for which word you would use really.

Personally, I feel that yield is a more quantitative word and implies a sense of gain.
“By using this stain on your product, you will yield a better finish.”
Similar to saying; It will give you a better finish. You will obtain a better finish.

Whereas produce is a more straightforward and statement word.
“By using this stain on your product, you will produce a better finish.”
Similar to saying: you will create a better finish. The quality/result of the finish will be better.

Hmm I hope that helped a little. It’s a hard one to explain because both can be placed in nearly all of the same sentences. Honestly, using ‘produce’ would be the safest if you are ever stuck on which to use. Since produce is the more commonly used word of the two.
