Affirmation: I Learn English Quickly

Have ever DITCHED somebody? :)
سلام خوبین؟ امیدوارم که حالتون خوب باشه. من امروز اومدم با یه اصطلاح باحال در زبان فارسی "پیچوندن".  معنی تحت‌الفظی این کلمه میشه "to twist"
 ولی خب ما به صورت اصطلاح هم خیلی ازش استفاده می‌کنیم. "پیچوندن" اصطلاحا یعنی کسی رو دور زدن یعنی وقتی با یه بهانه‌ یا دروغ یه کار دیگه می‌کنید. مثلا  "دیروز دوستم من رو تولدش دعوت کرد اما من پیچوندمش" یعنی اینکه دوست شما، شما رو  تولدش دعوت می‌کنه ولی خب شما به هر دلیلی شاید از اون خوشتون نمیاد یا هر چیز دیگه دعوت رو  رد می‌کنید مثلا میگین "عزیزم ببخشید ولی من فردا وقت دکتر دارم" یا "ببخشید فردا خونه‌ی مامان بزرگم دعوتم" یعنی شما با اون بهانه دارین... آره... دوستتونرو  رد می‌کنید، دعوتش رو  رد می‌کنید.
 یا مثلا بعضی وقتا ما میگیم "واقعا فکر کردی می‌تونی من رو بپیچونی؟" اگه بخوام به انگلیسی ترجمه کنم میشه"Do you really think you can ditch me?"
  پس پیچوندن یه همچین معنی ای داره! در کل که کار خوبی نیست ولی خب من این اصطلاح رو به شما یاد دادم امیدوارم که از پادکست امروز خوشتون اومده باشه و تا پادکست بعدی خدانگهدار

Cosa fanno gli italiani dopo Natale?

Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” 

 Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning.

Pequeña historia acerca de un poliglota que tenia la curiosidad sobre algunos idiomas antiguos.

Clan de Autodidactas

El Poliglota - Español

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.
