Hi Tom!! In Portuguese we say something lacks salt, as for example a person can be with no salt or lacking salt. "Ele é uma pessoa sem sal!" Or a movie can be "sem sal"!
Your video is accurate and helpful, especially with the big bright orange graphics, which help to avoid the monotony of only seeing a talking head on the screen.
Thanks Tom a very helpful video. In Danish we also use dry (tør) and watch the paint dry (se malingen tørre) if we are bored. Also thank you for the E-book it is very thorough and instructive.
I love your British English. I do very basic English conventions though I always use same words and feel my English expressions are dull and stupid. Your videos are very good for over intermediate English learners. Subscribed 👍
dry = trocken [GER] and could be used actually in the same context. I am not so sure myself if 'Der Farbe beim trocknen zusehen' is used in GER, but it is clear nevertheless...
Hey Tom thanks a million for the amazing content as always! Also I downloaded your free e-book and it's looking awesome!! I'll learn everything in it! Thanks again for being a great teacher😊
Can you or someone tell me what is the pronunciation of "something" at 1:33. It kinda of a reduced word. As if the 'th' sound was somewhat rejected. Do you have the accurate phonetic of it? Please.
OMG I LOVE IT! This format is awesome,I watched it twice and remembered 90% of vocabulary and examples. Please continue this way,I need you mate! #Tomtastic!
We also say bland food, as for example when we have a stomach problem or intestine problem and we have to eat "bland food!, we say "comida branda"!! It's light with no taste and flavour...
Almost all words you’ve said are in Spanish. Love too much “bland”, it is like our “”blando”. But more related, even that soft, to someone without personality.
That's a really funny phrase; I hadn't heard that before, but it's almost equivalent to our paint-drying phrase! However, it might be better phrased in English as "to travel on a turtle's back."
I know English really well but I love learning new words in English and here are some words for boring which I have never heard of (although I have heard the word humdrum before)
I totally need to say that your videos aren't tedious, dull or monotonous. Instead , they're full of vocabulary . First time i saw this channel I was shocked!
Try watching hair grow; you can use many other body parts, such as watching teeth grow. There are other things that we say in my family for boring but I am too polite to use them here.
There’s also “I’d rather watch grass grow” or “Why would you pay for a yawn?” My own personal and sardonically moribund saying is, “UGH. I’d better bring a knife so I can stab myself when I’ve had enough.” Careful, if you wanna use that one, though. It only floats on a clean reputation. -Phill, Las Vegas
a) 2:05 was a surprise attack 😅 b) I can't remember the more accurate translation of the idiom(?) _watch paint dry_ .. but I know we do use _nakakaantok_ (i.e. lulls one to sleep) to communicate a similar state of boredom. c) Ironic that _boring_ has such interesting synonyms.. and you included some of my favorites! :) d) Can I use _banal_ in the same loose sense? Is that sth natives do?
@@YangSing1 yeah, for example in Arabic there over 300 names for lions which is justified because lions were common in Arabia, and over 100 names describing ice in the Arctic language which is also justified, but I find it interesting that English has that same thing going but for boredom.
Ahmad Saee That’s interesting, I didn’t think there’d be that many ways to call a lion. Anyway, I’d say the words “good” and “bad” have the most synonyms.
I know English, but I love your channel precisely because none of those words apply to you. Thanks. :D

I don't know if this one is used in British English, but Americans will say "watch the grass grow" sometimes. Another used in America is "milk toast".
Thank you Tom! You're unforgettable!
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I love your videos so much!!! They're so informative and helpful! Thank you so much💓

To watch paint dry,we say "to come on turtle's back" in kurdish.
That's a really funny phrase; I hadn't heard that before, but it's almost equivalent to our paint-drying phrase! However, it might be better phrased in English as "to travel on a turtle's back."
@@TimDespain we have so many funny phrases if u liked to hear someday
Fab, Tom!
Great ! Thank you so much ❤
I know English really well but I love learning new words in English and here are some words for boring which I have never heard of (although I have heard the word humdrum before)
Lucy Claire Marie Fletcher Surprising because I’m British and humdrum was the only word in this list I’d never heard before
GB: Watching paint dry = US: Watching grass grow
Tom, would you try to pronounce "uggioso" , the Italian word for "dreary" ? 😉
Great vid! I've learnt so many words I'll put into practice right away that i won't have time to watch paint dry. Regards from caracas
Nice lesson! Another way to say boring

The weather in the city of BENGALURU has been dreary for the past few weeks.
Great example!
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish thanks sir. It's really been bucketing down for the past two weeks.
First. Let's learn more🇬🇧❤
Awesome!!!
Do you freelance particular classes or something?
Not at the moment Jesus but I’ll be releasing online courses soon

My job is really dreary
Mind numbing my favourite
When I feel bored, can I say "It is boring", meaning that everything around makes me bored?
There’s also “I’d rather watch grass grow” or “Why would you pay for a yawn?” My own personal and sardonically moribund saying is, “UGH. I’d better bring a knife so I can stab myself when I’ve had enough.” Careful, if you wanna use that one, though. It only floats on a clean reputation. -Phill, Las Vegas
Very similar to watch paint dry, I rather watch grass grow and watch paint dry is also used in the same manner
I am from Romania and instead of "watch paint dry", we say "watch grass grow" =))
I’ve just come to say I love you Tom! 🥰 ps. You are doing excellent work, but I am sure you know that.
In french : Regarder les mouches voler.
I can’t boring is part of my life
I luv ya channel, friend, greetings from Rio, Brazil !! I'd like to know you someday..
Cheers Renato, it’d be great to meet you too
Is it correct to say "I fancy kissing you?" 🥁😂😂😂
Sure Vagno 👍🏼
@@EatSleepDreamEnglish ❤❤❤❤
In Spanish we say "is as boring as an oyster"

its jusst ...*MEH*
I never knew that we can use the word forgettable for boring.
Keerthana Sendurvel Well yes. Generally, something that is boring is forgettable.
Very funny 😂
What do you think of "stick in the mud"?
This video is NOT like watching paint dry👍😀
🙌🏼thank you Chi
You are never boring.lol
I heard Ed Sheeran is looking to sell the house he owns in my village, in Umbria. No wonder I haven't seen him in a while.
His music is really dull
Hehe thanks for the update mate 👍🏼
But British humour is dry, and not at all boring. Brilliant.
I come just to see your beard ☹️
🧔🏼
To grow beard, I think. Or to take root, that's more if you're sitting around doing nothing.
Monotonous
Dull
Bland
Lackadaisical
Lacklustre

How about, tedious!
I wonder why English has a lot of words describing boredom
Because it's a grab-bag language and we stole everything from every other language :D
Ahmad Saee There are several synonyms for most words, I’m sure it’s the same in other languages
@@YangSing1 yeah, for example in Arabic there over 300 names for lions which is justified because lions were common in Arabia, and over 100 names describing ice in the Arctic language which is also justified, but I find it interesting that English has that same thing going but for boredom.

IIIIIIIIII reaaaaly adoooooooore this video WHICH IS very rich

I'm a good face reader... Are you a prankster in your real life.??? 🕊💞🕊💕🕊💞🕊..i am sending hearts by my pigeons from Pakistan. ☺

You said "movie", really? Do British people use this word?
Film and movie are both used.
