1) Dare una mano
significato: aiutare
esempio: mi puoi dare una mano a fare gli esercizi di matematica?
n.b. dare una mano (che vuol dire “aiutare”) ha un significato molto diverso dall’espressione “darsi la mano” che vuol dire letteralmente “stringere la mano di un’altra persona” e in senso figurato “darsi la mano” vuol dire “fare la pace”. 

2) Dare i numeri (“To go crazy” in inglese, “volverse loco” in spagnolo”)
Significato: 1) fare o dire cose senza senso 
2) arrabbiarsi
Esempio: 1) Mi sembra che stai dando i numeri! Non riesco a capire cosa vuoi dire! 
2) non so come fare a calmarla! Sta dando i numeri!



3) Dare ragione
Significato: riconoscere per vero o per giusto ciò che dice qualcuno. 
Esempio: Il professore ha ascoltato a fondo lo studente e infine gli ha dato ragione.


4) Dare fastidio
Significato: causare irritazione, disagio o nervosismo.
(in uso anche l’espressione “Dare noia”).
Esempi: 1)La musica alta mi da fastidio, potresti abbassare il volume?
2) Non mi dai fastidio: chiedimi pure ciò che vuoi.


5) Darsi delle arie
Significato: vantarsi di qualcosa
Esempio: Non sopporto quando Luca si da delle arie davanti agli altri: è così presuntuoso!

6) Dare a intendere ( o “darla a bere”)
Significato: far credere qualcosa a qualcuno
Esempi: 1) Non voglio darti a intendere che no ti voglio qui, ma puoi fare più silenzio per favore?
2) Non voglio darti a bere che sono ricco però posso dirti che non ho problemi economici.


7) Dare carta bianca a qualcuno
Significato: concedere la massima libertà di agire senza imporre alcun limite. 
Esempi: 1) Il mio capo mi ha dato carta bianca per sviluppare il mio nuovo progetto. 




8) Dare per scontato
Significato: pensare che qualcosa sia vero senza controllare.
Esempi: 1) Non dare per scontato che ti aiuterò, devo ancora decidere!

One of the weirdest things about British culture is the way we enjoy our visits to cemeteries. Cemeteries, otherwise known as graveyards, are places where you can find British people relaxing with a cup of tea, perhaps, uh, a bottle of Coca-Cola or with a sandwich. It's a little bit strange. Now, I've lived in many countries across the world, and I have to say that only in Britain are we completely detached from the feelings associated with tombs, graves and dead people.
 If you go to a restaurant in the UK, particularly a cafe, you may even find that it was once a church.  There are churches around which close, and then they're sold to restaurant owners, or they become pubs, and you find yourself walking across these tombs without even thinking about it. To avoid any difficulties or problems with this. Some restaurants and pubs will lay carpets on the floor so that you won't actually see the names of those who've died.  Not to worry though, because these people who've died, usually they've died hundreds of years ago. It's not like they died last week. I'm not sure if that makes it worse or makes it better.
