    Hello Mia!
    Congratulations on coming up with this new lesson for me!
    Sometimes sarcastic expressions could be informative but I am not though.
    Without any sarcasm I have enjoyed the video! Stick on with the good job!

    Sarcasm also works when mean thoughts fill your head. Which happens to me. And i have yet a good example of sarcasm. But it'd be a bit obvious. When someone you don't like says: ''Now i don't have to beat you up'' you have to say: (*sarcastically*) ''Phew. That's a relief. I was sooo terrified''

  • @DejamLuFiak
    @DejamLuFiak 5 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    So apparently when being sarcastic you need to have a 'tell'. Otherwise people won't understand you are being sarcastic and will interpret your sarcasm in another way.
    Wish I knew that before.

      I like to elongate my words or add emphasis on certain words. If you're meaning to be rude, add a scoff or an eye roll with a mean tone. It's about how you say things is what matters most. She's not adding much emphasis on her sarcasm making it hard to tell it's sarcasm. Most people have "a tell" when using it. Adding a smirk and laughing helps if it's more friendly sarcasm. Sorry you had to find that out the hard way from the sounds of it.

    This video was actually extremely helpful!! I'm still curious though, how do you respond to sarcasm?? I feel like I'm getting better at understanding when people are using sarcasm, but what are you supposed to do then? I'm finding that answering with more sarcasm really hinders the conversation and the humor dissolves immediately. I wish I knew what to do because people use sarcasm all around me, and I have no idea how to convey that I understand the joke and I'd love to be a part of the conversation more, but when I do, everyone tells me they were being sarcastic and then I feel stupid :(

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a great question, Morrigan! Even native speakers have trouble responding sometimes. If you agree with the sarcasm, you can send a small form of sarcasm back, agreeing with what they said. For example, if it's raining, maybe your friend says 'Beautiful weather today'. If you agree that you also don't like the weather, you could respond with: 'Yeah, it's great...' in a sarcastic tone. Does that make sense?

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
