    Mr. Tom: I enjoyed this video.
    Will you, please, allow me to point out two polite ways to say "No", without pronouncing the word "No"? They go as follows:
    01. "(I'm afraid) I'll have to decline..." This sentence might be left by itself, as written above, or might be complemented by: "... your offer"/"...your invitation" - it will depend upon the social context/setting in which it is to be expressed.
    Rationales for its use:
    a) It is phrased in the affirmative mode;
    b) It may hint at circumstances beyond that person's control, (that are refraining from taking the corresponding action), without the need to delve into further details, or to come across as insincere;
    02. "I doubt it." This may be the answer to: "Are you going to the gathering tonight?", or; "Do you think you will pass the exam?"
    Rationales for its use:
    a) The sentence is phrased in the affirmative mode;
    b) It is concise, straightforward, and easy to understand.
    Thank you very much for this opportunity.

    In Poland, we use "no" to say "yes". XD It is pronounced probably like gnaw, and it is a informal word. Sometimes we say "no tak" (tak-yes) and for foreigners it can be confused, but its only stronger version of "tak". We can compare English "yeah, no" to Polish "no nie" (nie-no, no-yes). :D
    Thanks for the video, you're a good teacher. See you soon, Tom. :D

    Nooooooo OMG! I love this video, but as an Italian, the British pronunciation of "no", sounds so charming and elegant that I can't stop saying it! Anyway Tom, I expect you to make a video about alternative ways to say YES, isn't it a nice idea? Thanks ever so much, cheers

    15 can also be used like "you're kidding me!!" Like, "I was just given backstage passes to a Stones concert!" "No way!!" Like, "it's not possible!!"
    21 I was hoping the whole video, literally, you'd get to that one!!
    And finally, slightly off-topic, one of my favorite Brit phrases is "I'm not bothered." Nicest way I know of saying "I don't care." Especially when people of certain areas pronounce it "bovvered." There's one actress, Katherine Tate, who in one role was well known for saying "Is my face bovvered?" Like "Do I look like I give a care?!" 😂😂😂 Honestly though, and I know I've said this a number of times, I love the way you talk over there!! I so badly want to go there!!

    What does it means, when people say:

    Does it mean:
    I don't think of anything else can be better.
    Its such a good idea!
    or does it simply means:
    No!

    Not saying it wrong and the title is a cliff hanger because these “ways to say no” actually include the word itself.
    Adding a few words doesn’t actually make it an alternative way, it just adds information to the sentence.

      Thanks for the grammar lesson Ken but the adjective over adverb usage here of ‘wrong’ instead of ‘wrongly’ is so firmly established in modern English it barely registers on the incorrect English alarm system.

    • @jwb52z9
      @jwb52z9 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only "real" usage of that that you can say really matters anymore is when you say "I feel bad" versus "I feel badly" which have two different meanings and connotations, one physical and one emotional.

    • @kendrive
      @kendrive 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      “Wrong” was wrong and “wrongly” was right, so it is ingrained in me. Over the years I have seen the common usage change, but it still jars with me. It may be acceptable in conversation, but I don’t think you will find it in academic writing.

    • @alicerossi_ap
      @alicerossi_ap 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think both sentences are correct but have slightly different shades of meaning. Both words, in this context, are adverbs but the first (rightly) focuses more on the teaching process while the second (right) focuses on the goal of this process. When "right", instead, joins a noun it takes on the grammatical function of adjective, example: "the right thing".
