1 birth: A "birth" refers literally to the beginning of someone's life, and figuratively to the beginning of any event. Example: My entire family was present at the birth of my son. In the figurative sense: The birth of the Art Nouveau movement was in 1880. The noun "birth" comes from the verb "to be born".
2 milestones: A "milestone" refers to an important or significant event. For example: the discovery of electricity was a milestone in man's development. The origin of the term is the use of stone markers or signs on the road which were spaced out at one "mile" intervals.
3 sinking : "Sinking" refers to the descent of someone or something into the water (generally). When a ship is damaged and fills with water it "sinks" or is said to be "sinking". The word "sinking" can also be used as a noun to refer to the actual event when a ship "sank". Example: The sinking of the Titanic occurred on April 15th, 1912.
