For example, you'll hear me say

Post by jrineakter »

For example, instead of saying "it was worth getting up early to take this nice walk", we will often say orally "it was worth getting up early to take this nice walk". "It was worth it" replaces "it was worth it".

Eighth, two family words, common nouns that characterize family members that are said differently. The word "brother" is often replaced by "brother" and the word "sister" by "brother". Instead of saying "I have two brothers and a sister", the French will often tell their friends "I have two brothers and a sister".

Ninth, the word "book" is often replaced by "book". It's also one of my speech tics. I often say: "I love this book". "Have you seen my book?" "Ah, I'm going to take my book to the park this afternoon". So I use the word "book" a lot instead of the word "book" in somewhat everyday, familiar language.



Tenth, a verb. The verb "to forget" is often replaced among friends by the verb "to zap". Zap comes from TV. When you change channels, like that, we say that you zap. You are on the first channel, you zap to the second channel or you zap to the third channel, it means that you change channels with the remote control. That is the literal south africa whatsapp number data meaning of "to zap". If you say orally that you zapped something, it means that you forgot it.

For example, "but you forgot our appointment this morning" will become "but you forgot our appointment this morning".

And finally, one last one, even if obviously there are many others, the word "pretty", we often replace it with the word "owl". Nothing to do with the bird. The owl is a bird of prey, a bird, a bird of the raptor family. And here, we use this word to say that something is pretty or that something is beautiful.

For example, instead of saying “this city is really pretty”, we will often say “this city is really cool”.
