00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:02.610
hey guys welcome to lingua Marina on

2
00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:05.190
this channel we'll learn how not to be

3
00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:07.710
boring in English and today I'm gonna

4
00:00:07.710 --> 00:00:10.080
teach you what to say instead of saying

5
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.900
yes yes yes all the time we're gonna

6
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.030
learn words like okie dokie all right

7
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:15.809
mm-hmm

8
00:00:15.809 --> 00:00:18.960
all of those words are in this class so

9
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.449
if you're interested in sounding like a

10
00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:24.390
native speaker in stopping using word

11
00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:26.489
yes yes yes all the time continue

12
00:00:26.489 --> 00:00:36.930
watching this video we're gonna start

13
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:40.409
with the easiest option out there sounds

14
00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:42.180
and body language because I know

15
00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:44.969
sometimes you are so scared when a

16
00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:46.649
native speaker talks to you I remember

17
00:00:46.649 --> 00:00:48.570
the first time I wanted too broad and we

18
00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:50.520
went to Finland and people in Finland

19
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.559
are amazing English language speakers

20
00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:54.360
and the guy when the borders started

21
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.079
talking to me

22
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.489
and I lost my voice I was like oh my god

23
00:00:59.489 --> 00:01:00.780
he's English is amazing what am I

24
00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:03.359
supposed to say and sounds and body

25
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.790
language come to rescue in this

26
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:08.130
situation so when people ask you

27
00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:10.560
something like are you a tourist on the

28
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.010
border you're gonna say mm-hmm there got

29
00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:16.229
him or if they're asking you are you

30
00:01:16.229 --> 00:01:19.438
alright you can just say this is an okay

31
00:01:19.438 --> 00:01:22.590
sign you can just nod your head we're

32
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:24.630
discussing crisis situations here so

33
00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:26.130
bear with me we're gonna talk about

34
00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:27.659
worth little later in this video

35
00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:30.569
I just want to explain sounds and

36
00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:36.000
gestures first another sign you're okay

37
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.819
everything is fine like yesterday Dima

38
00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:41.880
and I stopped on a road here in the

39
00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:44.159
village where we are right now and the

40
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.110
policeman was passing by and he was like

41
00:01:46.110 --> 00:01:48.659
are you guys okay instead of shouting or

42
00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:51.630
just yeah we're fine no problem when

43
00:01:51.630 --> 00:01:52.770
you're talking to your friends in

44
00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:55.860
English and you have the sense of your

45
00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:57.420
voice you can actually use your language

46
00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.860
there are certain things that you can

47
00:01:58.860 --> 00:01:59.729
say you can say

48
00:01:59.729 --> 00:02:01.829
okey-dokey do you want to go to the

49
00:02:01.829 --> 00:02:04.409
movies today okey-dokey and by the way

50
00:02:04.409 --> 00:02:06.689
pay attention to the question itself

51
00:02:06.689 --> 00:02:08.610
instead of saying do you want to go to

52
00:02:08.610 --> 00:02:10.169
the movie theater today which is a

53
00:02:10.169 --> 00:02:12.270
little formal do you want to go to the

54
00:02:12.270 --> 00:02:14.639
today is a little British and if you

55
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.980
want to be informal and American you say

56
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.169
do you want to go to the movies today

57
00:02:19.169 --> 00:02:23.160
and your informal answer instead of yes

58
00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:26.280
you say okie dokie okie dokie let's do

59
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:26.639
it

60
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.700
no because of course you can say okay

61
00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.190
Veolia my aunt if you follow me on

62
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:35.040
instagram lingua marina we are hanging

63
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:38.100
out together a lot and she loves to text

64
00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:38.430

65
00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:42.750

66
00:02:42.750 --> 00:02:44.850

text me back okay let's do five pm

68
00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:50.790
Kate stands for okay it means the same

69
00:02:50.790 --> 00:02:51.510
as yes

70
00:02:51.510 --> 00:02:54.600
okay all right is another way to replace

71
00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:58.169
yes and there's also word already if you

72
00:02:58.169 --> 00:03:00.060
watch Sex in the City there was this guy

73
00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:01.710
I think he was Charlotte's husband and

74
00:03:01.710 --> 00:03:05.430
he used to say already all the time and

75
00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:06.690
she was like do you want to get married

76
00:03:06.690 --> 00:03:08.190
and he was like alrighty and she was

77
00:03:08.190 --> 00:03:09.810
shocked and he is this worse for

78
00:03:09.810 --> 00:03:11.850
everything like food hobbies whatever

79
00:03:11.850 --> 00:03:13.770
and he is the same word from marriage

80
00:03:13.770 --> 00:03:15.450
and she was really discouraged but

81
00:03:15.450 --> 00:03:17.610
alrighty is another word for yes

82
00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:21.660
alrighty you can also say sounds good

83
00:03:21.660 --> 00:03:23.370
do you want to go out tonight cuz it

84
00:03:23.370 --> 00:03:24.690
sounds good let's do it

85
00:03:24.690 --> 00:03:27.960
sounds good you can say for sure means

86
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.560
you're really eager to do something and

87
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.300
you can say sure thing and this is

88
00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.040
something that Americans use a lot

89
00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:38.520
excuse me do you have milk in your store

90
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.450
sure thing it's right there sure thing

91
00:03:42.450 --> 00:03:44.760
okay let's discuss a couple more

92
00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:47.400
informal ways of replacing yes if you

93
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.620
follow me on Instagram I say yep all the

94
00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.540
time so yep

95
00:03:51.540 --> 00:04:00.930
yay yeah yep yes totally totes

96
00:04:00.930 --> 00:04:05.340
when I say totes I have this guy in his

97
00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:09.060
20s from California you know blond hair

98
00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:12.300
and he's gonna call and say totes do you

99
00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:13.170
want to go out with me

100
00:04:13.170 --> 00:04:17.310
totes this is again a word used by

101
00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:19.320
American youth I've heard a lot of

102
00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:21.120
American young people use this word

103
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.080
totes instead of totally sure and the

104
00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:25.860
last but not the

105
00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:28.979
least in our informal list as you bet by

106
00:04:28.979 --> 00:04:31.050
the way native speakers both British

107
00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:32.759
people and American people love to be

108
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.949
sarcastic because they're generally

109
00:04:34.949 --> 00:04:36.810
positive people and they like to make

110
00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:39.300
jokes and they like to joke around with

111
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.740
you and if you're a non-native speaker

112
00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.199
you can get confused easily I was

113
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.150
confused a lot of times I was like I

114
00:04:45.150 --> 00:04:48.000
thought people were talking seriously to

115
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.560
me and they were talking and I was like

116
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.719
oh my god I didn't get it you can notice

117
00:04:51.719 --> 00:04:53.759
if people are sarcastic if they use

118
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.099
certain words yes of course you need to

119
00:04:56.099 --> 00:04:57.479
pay attention to the context and

120
00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:00.000
intonation but sometimes the words will

121
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.830
tell you if a person is sarcastic and

122
00:05:01.830 --> 00:05:03.120
we're gonna learn some of those words

123
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.029
right now so if a person says yeah yeah

124
00:05:06.029 --> 00:05:09.330
yeah that means no you guys he's being

125
00:05:09.330 --> 00:05:11.909
sarcastic for example you see this house

126
00:05:11.909 --> 00:05:13.500
and you're like Marina do you own this

127
00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.629
house and I'm like yeah yeah of course I

128
00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:17.520
own it of course I don't because it's so

129
00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.319
expensive it's so beautiful I haven't

130
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.939
earned that yet and this is where he is

131
00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:24.000
yes I'm being sarcastic I say yes but I

132
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.400
mean no yeah sometimes people also say

133
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:31.469
obviously and they mean no again pay

134
00:05:31.469 --> 00:05:33.900
attention to their intonation do you

135
00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:36.479
have a million dollars obviously of

136
00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:38.159
course ha ha ha

137
00:05:38.159 --> 00:05:41.069
what a funny joke no I don't like this

138
00:05:41.069 --> 00:05:43.229
is the way people would be sarcastic and

139
00:05:43.229 --> 00:05:44.879
of course that might sound different I'm

140
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.009
just showing you one of the examples

141
00:05:47.009 --> 00:05:49.770
obviously sometimes people ask you a

142
00:05:49.770 --> 00:05:52.229
question that is too formal and you're

143
00:05:52.229 --> 00:05:54.270
in this friendly setting and you just

144
00:05:54.270 --> 00:05:56.939
want to highlight that the question is

145
00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.819
too formal like have you ever read

146
00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.729
Shakespeare in your life and you're like

147
00:06:02.729 --> 00:06:04.409
oh my god we're just discussing movies

148
00:06:04.409 --> 00:06:05.909
and you sort of talking about

149
00:06:05.909 --> 00:06:08.279
Shakespeare you can say affirmative

150
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.490
which means yes but in a sarcastic way

151
00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:14.699
look affirmative I have read Shakespeare

152
00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:17.939
again this is a way of you answering yes

153
00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:20.610
and highlighting that the question was

154
00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:23.250
too formal for a minister and before we

155
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:24.960

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:26.460
