    Here in America, we use "kinda-sorta" and "thingy" for vagueness, but "thingy" is also used as a sort of reverse adjective, in the sense that it comes after the noun ("Just jiggle the handle thingy if the tank keeps running"). We also have terms such as "thingamajig," "thingamabob," "doo-hickey," "whatchamacallit," "whatsits," and of course "that thing."

    I found your channel because of my brother. He showed me a video where you sort of expose some tips of how to speak better in English. You'd basically recommend to keep your tong down all the time.

    In Russia borscht is a kind of a meat soup with beet, potato, cabbage, carrot and so on. A beet makes it purply or sth like that. It's a sort of a typical meal for our ration. In my childhood my mom and grannies just kind of cooked it several times a month. It's so delicious for Russian and we like it very much. Thank you for your lessons!

    Hellooooooo! I'm a teacher from Brazil and I met you on a video with Carina Fragoso, and now I' m subscribed to your channel - really like it, and my students as well! Way to go!
    In fact, I'd been looking for a British TH-cam teacher and found you 😊. Most TH-camrs I follow are Americans or teach American English - I wanted some British English for a change!
    About this video, I'll have to study it before I share it with my students - not very familiar with the language...good for me!

  • @ReaperIFF245
    @ReaperIFF245 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I typed in "the art of vagueries" to the search bar to find this. I have a friend (native English speaker) who is super specific about when she'll be somewhere, even when she doesn't actually want to be there at that time specifically. This is purely in a social context. She tends to carry over her professional need for precise and specific information into her personal life without realizing it until she's said it, then feels compelled to follow through. I've told her "you need to stop being so specific every time you talk to (insert person here), because it's not doing you any favors to be so specific when you want to just chill out and relax" hopefully this helps

    well, I found your channel for like two years ago as I was randomly looking for english lessons and found this unique named channel - "Papa Teach" hahaha.. I love the contents you've created so much! Your expressions, personality, creativity, everything flows so natural as I see it. I do believe this kind of channel should be on top of people's interests instead of those cheeky prank videos out there. I would say your channel worth spreading and promoted! Keep up your amazing work, Aly!

  • @mariluduarte2592
    @mariluduarte2592 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    1) You are 1.76 meters or thereabouts
    2) You weigh 81 kg or so
    3) I woke up at 7:30 or thereabouts
    4) A ballpark figure, I'd say £1,000,000k
    5) I'd get a score of 35 points or so because I've heard that the examinators are quite strict.
    This video was extremely useful to me 'cause I was wondering just a few days ago how to say "El coso del coso"(which is a phrase that we use quite a lot in Spanish, in special young people) I've also heard the word "thingamajig", is it the same with thingy or the bit??

    Bakso is a ball-shaped meat or something like that. There are reguler bakso and jumbo bakso. Jumbo bakso usually contains another thingy inside for instance an egg, some of little bakso, etc. Bakso is best to eat when the weather is quite cold, because the gravy will make the body warmer.
