Dove vivi?   -   (for A1 Beginners)

Strop. Codswallop. Knackered. Just like the picture of a chair in the street above (no, we don’t get it either), we Brits do say some strange things sometimes – usually because they evolved from the many, many (many) vastly different regional dialects that exist across the UK (or the strange and very long history of the English language.) Unfortunately, that doesn’t help if you’re learning English in Britain and can’t understand half of what people are saying!

6 British English phrases that make no sense

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。

和食文化について話します。
みなさんは箸を使ったことがありますか？
もしくは、今使っていますか？

日本人は、小さいころは箸の持ち方を注意されるなど、箸の作法は家族の中で教えられることが多いと思います。

今回は、箸の使い方で気をつけてほしいものをピックアップしてお話しします。


嫌い箸
移り箸ー一旦取りかけてから、他の料理を取る
迷い箸ーどれを取ろうか、料理の上で箸を動かすこと
渡し箸ーご飯の途中で箸を食器の上に置くこと
寄せ箸ー料理の入った器を箸で寄せること
刺し箸ー料理に箸を刺すこと
指し箸ー食事中に箸で人をさすこと


などがあります。
細かく分類すると、もっとたくさんあるみたいですが、今日はこれだけにしておきます。

日本の文化は独特ですが、覚えておくと、日本人とのコミュニケーションが少しスムーズになるかもしれませんね。

みなさんの国では、食べる時に気をつけることは何かありますか？よければオンラインでお話しましょう！

ということで今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
