The same colloquial phrase will have very different meanings in different contexts. Today the primary school sister to share with you 6 super simple common oral expressions, if you can understand and use them well in different contexts, the primary school sister praises you!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01.I have had enough.</h1>
The word enough means "sufficient, enough", for example, when we go to someone else's house, the other party will be more polite and may say to us:
Take a few more bites.
If you're already full, you can say:
I've had enough.
It's similar to someone or something, and when you've piled up enough boredom you can't tolerate it, that's enough.
Cut it out. I've had enough. Shut up, I've had enough!
I've had enough of your garbage.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02.It's my cup of tea. </h1>
Don't get me wrong with the teacup when drinking tea, "This cup is my tea" is equivalent to "this is my dish" in Chinese. If you want to say that something is your own, the colloquial language is still "This is mine." This category is more concise and commonly used.
This expression is also commonly used in some "elegant but hurtful" occasions, such as the rejection of confessions:
You are not my cup of tea.
=You are not my type/style.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03.Are we good?</h1>
“Are we good?” In colloquial language, it is often expressed as "We good?", which is not asking "are we okay", in fact, the more common meanings are the following two:
(1) Are we reconciled? Still angry?
If two people quarrel, one party wants to reconcile, which is equivalent to "giving a step":
- Are we good? We're reconciled, right?
- Yeah, we cool. Yes, we reconciled.
(2) Do you understand/understand?
When talking, not sure whether the other party and yourself are communicating smoothly, you can also ask:
- Are we good? You know what I mean?
- Absolutely! Of course!
“Are we good?” More meanings are also welcome to be added in the comments!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04.You have my word.</h1>
While it looks a lot like "You got my word," the expression is actually "I promise." /I promise you. I promise, I swear to you" means.
Word means "said", and one's word is someone's promise.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">05.I'm not myself today.</h1>
“I'm not myself today.” It doesn't mean that I'm not doing myself today, or that I'm not who I used to be, but that "I'm not in a state today," mostly when I'm unwell or unsettled for some reason.
- What's wrong? What happened to you?
- Sorry, I'm not myself today. Sorry, I'm not in a good shape today.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">06.What are you up to?</h1>
We learned a phrase called "up to you," which means "you decide, listen to you." But what about"What are you up to?" It's not that you decide what, depending on the context, its common uses are as follows:
(1) Hello = What's up?
(2) Ask what is being done = What are you doing?
(3) Asking about plans or intentions = What are you going to do?
(4) What the hell are you doing? (Tone)
This expression can be imagined as "What do you say?" in Chinese. And "What do you say!" You can ask when you don't understand, you can ask when you're angry, and you can understand it according to context.
That's all for today, have you learned it?
