Es extraño amar a alguien que no recuerda que lo amas. A veces, me rechaza. Se enfada conmigo sin motivos, se pone nervioso y agresivo. Ya no tiene censuras y le da igual decirme lo que piensa.

Pedindo comidas e bebidas em Português

Leonard: I couldn't agree more!
Alisha: Wait, you don't agree with me?
L: No, I said, I couldn't agree more. That means I completely agree with you.
A: What? Then why did you say you couldn't agree with me!

I think we can all relate with Alisha. There are so many indirect ways of saying something so simple and direct. We use such structures to add nuance to our meaning!

But it 'can' be confusing for a language learner.

In this series on the Confusing Structures in the English Language, we will discuss these very structures so that the next time Leonard says 'he couldn't agree more,' or 'he couldn't care less' or some such phrase, you'd know exactly what he is saying.

12. “Tazza” : The fatal rose (‘타짜’)

最近、道にたくさんのりんごが落ちています。
私はりんごが好きなので年中りんごを食べています。最近はスーパーでりんごを買わずに、道で拾ったりんごをよく食べています。このりんごは売っているりんごよりもすっぱいので、そのまま食べるとあまりおいしくありません。なので、昨日アップルパイを作りました。冷凍のパイ生地を使ったので、とても簡単でおいしくできました。
そろそろ栗も出てくる季節なのでオーブンで栗を焼いて食べるのも楽しみです。でも、今ヨーロッパの電気代はとても上がっているので、今年は少しオーブンを使うのを控えた方がいいかもしれません。

みなさんにとって秋の食べ物といえばなんですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。

秋：あき　autumn 
季節：きせつ　season
落ちる：おちる　to drop 
道：みち　road
年中：ねんじゅう　all the year
拾う：ひろう　pick up
冷凍：れいとう　frozen
生地：きじ　dough
栗：chestnut
控える：ひかえる　　try not to ~
