けんと日本語/Japanese with Ken

好きなのみもの/favourite drinks

Today I'm talking about a phrasal verb that you can use to say that you've lost interest or enthusiasm for something. A phrasal verb that means that you're discouraged from doing something. This is the phrasal verb to "put off", which we can also use as an adjective, "off putting". I hope you find this useful!
