      This begs the question: If there is no such thing as "bad English," can there even BE a "better English?" 😂

    for my time (and as if its your last cuz it does the same thing even tho its not in the video) i think what makes most sense is that they mistook "finna" as slang for "finally".... "can i someday finally find my time" "you gon' finally catch me"

      Seconding this, I thought Finna meant Finally.

    @nickjames8377 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    In the Jungkook section, apparently, many people confuse "finna" to be another way to say "finally." Meaning the sentiment of the phrase is supposed to read more as "Can I someday, finally find my time? "

    English is probably one of the most maluable and fluid languages in the universe, although yes there are many phrases in many other languages that can't be replicated in english to make the most sense, but i do think english is one of the most maluable languages in the human universe

    I thought of this while editing: “No one can stop me and CAN’T deny” for the UNIS example wouldn’t work in context -
    We can’t separate both parts of the conjunction and have them both make sense:
    “No one can’t deny” means that everyone would deny them, so it doesn’t really fit with the context of the song

    • @euge_dk

    Though I agree with fact that English is a universal language, I do think certain dialects and slang belong or should be associated with certain groups of people. My main example being AAVE or Mexican slang.

    There is this one sentence in Te Quiero by Kiss of life that I can't get rid of, it's "I won't deny that my fear of the night when you leave me I know that you feel it too"

    • @auliamate
      @auliamate 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I feel like the “I know that you feel it too” part should be seen as a separate line. Then possibly remove the “that” before “my fear of the night” 😂.
      But even then, it’s really clear what it’s meant 😅
