00:00:02,480 –> 00:00:05,830
Hi, I’m Adam. Welcome back to engvid.

2
00:00:06,590 –> 00:00:12,219
Today, the lesson is going to be a little bit different than what you used to. It`s not so much about grammar or vocabulary,

3
00:00:12,879 –> 00:00:18,129
it’s about English meaning. Now I understand that all of you are studying very hard.

4
00:00:18,830 –> 00:00:22,840
You’re reading, you’re looking at the dictionary, you’re writing.

5
00:00:22,840 –> 00:00:30,759
You’re speaking to as many people in English as you can. But sometimes, you get a little bit confused. You’re watching a movie from Hollywood.

6
00:00:31,070 –> 00:00:33,700
You’re watching some English TV show. And

7
00:00:34,610 –> 00:00:37,029
you know that, you understand the words,

8
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:45,070
you understand the sentence, and the grammar is no problem. Yet, you’re not sure exactly why, but you’re missing something.

9
00:00:45,620 –> 00:00:47,620
Now, I’ll tell you what you’re missing:

10
00:00:50,090 –> 00:00:52,090
“intonation”.

11
00:00:52,129 –> 00:00:57,279
You need to understand, a lot of what is spoken in English, and I’m sure, in your language as well,

12
00:00:57,280 –> 00:01:04,660
not only English. A lot of what is meant in English, is meant in, how the words are spoken,

13
00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:07,000
not the words themselves.

14
00:01:07,040 –> 00:01:09,040
So we’re going to look at “intonation”

15
00:01:09,220 –> 00:01:14,500
and “accent”, and “stress” in English and how it can change meaning.

16
00:01:14,869 –> 00:01:18,459
Now look at this sentence: “I didn’t say he stole the money”.

17
00:01:19,340 –> 00:01:21,320
Very simple sentence. Seven words,

18
00:01:21,320 –> 00:01:24,820
no problem, right? But,

19
00:01:25,369 –> 00:01:27,369
I can say this sentence

20
00:01:27,650 –> 00:01:32,379
seven different ways and have seven different meanings to this one sentence.

21
00:01:32,899 –> 00:01:38,139
Let’s look at it. If I put the stress, I’m gonna, this means stress,

22
00:01:38,840 –> 00:01:45,040
If I put the stress on the first word “I”, it changes the meaning of the sentence.

23
00:01:45,890 –> 00:01:47,890
“I didn’t say he stole the money”.

24
00:01:48,400 –> 00:01:54,420
I didn’t say it. Means, I’m suggesting, somebody else said it, not me.

25
00:01:55,760 –> 00:01:57,760
okay, no problem,

26
00:01:59,520 –> 00:02:01,520
“I didn’t say he stole the money”.

27
00:02:01,780 –> 00:02:04,600
You made a mistake, you think I said it, but, I didn’t say it.

28
00:02:05,860 –> 00:02:10,770
Right? I’m stressing this word. So, that’s where the focus is, that’s where the meaning is.

29
00:02:11,590 –> 00:02:13,590
good

30
00:02:14,680 –> 00:02:16,680
“I didn’t say he stole the money”.

31
00:02:17,140 –> 00:02:19,120
What am I implying now?

32
00:02:19,120 –> 00:02:25,350
Maybe, I hinted it. I said, I pointed, right? And you thought: “oh, you said he stole the money”.

33
00:02:25,350 –> 00:02:28,049
I didn’t say it. I just hinted it

34
00:02:28,900 –> 00:02:30,900
okay

35
00:02:32,019 –> 00:02:39,899
“I didn’t say he stole the money”. What does that mean? Somebody else stole the money. Don’t confuse it with this person.

36
00:02:43,810 –> 00:02:50,519
“I didn’t say he stole the money”. Maybe, he borrowed it and forgot to bring it back. Or maybe, he misplaced it.

37
00:02:50,519 –> 00:02:52,829
“I didn’t say he stole it”, right?

38
00:02:57,010 –> 00:02:59,010
“I didn’t say he stole the money”

39
00:02:59,140 –> 00:03:03,989
I’m not, we’re not talking about this money. We’re talking about other money. He stole that money, not this money.

40
00:03:07,150 –> 00:03:08,920
“I didn’t say he stole the money”, right?

41
00:03:08,920 –> 00:03:12,509
I’m stressing money, means, he stole something else. He stole they watch.

42
00:03:13,299 –> 00:03:16,859
Somebody else stole the money. Wasn’t me, but somebody else stole the money.

43
00:03:17,440 –> 00:03:19,739
So, you see: one sentence,

44
00:03:19,739 –> 00:03:26,879
I stress each word, I changed the meaning completely. Now, for another very good example.

45
00:03:33,489 –> 00:03:35,729
I know you all love this word – “really”.

46
00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:43,140
it’s a, It’s a really interesting word. Of course, there’s the everyday meaning, which means very.

47
00:03:44,980 –> 00:03:46,299
But,

48
00:03:46,299 –> 00:03:49,709
native English speakers use this word in many, many situations

49
00:03:50,500 –> 00:03:57,299
to give many different meanings, okay? Now, bear with me. I’m not a very good actor, but I’ll do my best.

50
00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:06,209
Your friend comes to you and says:
– “Guess what, I won the lottery, I won 50 million dollars”.

51
00:04:06,880 –> 00:04:08,560
I’m in shock:

52
00:04:08,560 –> 00:04:12,690
– “Really?”
Means shock. I don’t know what you’re talking about: “really?”

53
00:04:13,810 –> 00:04:15,810
Another situation

54
00:04:15,820 –> 00:04:23,760
Your friend has two tickets to your favorite bands concert and he says:
– “I have an extra ticket, do you want to go?
– Really?

55
00:04:24,280 –> 00:04:28,679
Means you’re very excited, you’re very happy. This “really” has a very different meaning.

56
00:04:30,280 –> 00:04:36,539
You call your boss, you say:
– Oh, I’m really sick. I can’t come to work today. And your boss

57
00:04:36,539 –> 00:04:38,539
he doesn’t trust you, says:
– Really?

58
00:04:39,220 –> 00:04:42,660
That “really” means, I think you’re lying. I don’t believe you.

59
00:04:43,389 –> 00:04:45,389
Another situation

60
00:04:46,030 –> 00:04:48,809
Another situation. You know what flirting is.

61
00:04:52,630 –> 00:04:55,859
A girl comes to you, says:
– “I like your shirt”.
You’re:
– Really?

62
00:04:56,560 –> 00:05:01,260
Like that, right, you’re flirting. You’re trying to play with her. Trying to get a date out of her, maybe.

63
00:05:01,260 –> 00:05:04,919
All from one word you see. All these different meanings from one word.

64
00:05:06,490 –> 00:05:09,299
Let’s thinking of another me, another situation

65
00:05:10,419 –> 00:05:16,288
Your friend says:
– “Guess what, the boss is not coming to work today.”
– Really…

66
00:05:16,960 –> 00:05:21,000
Means, you’re thinking, you’re going to do something bad, something evil. You’re planning.

67
00:05:21,580 –> 00:05:26,639
So, these are just a few examples, there are others. I can use this word “really” in many different situations,

68
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:31,949
each time a little bit different meaning. But all of this goes to show,

69
00:05:32,500 –> 00:05:37,679
don’t worry, if you hear something, if you watch a movie or even a song.

70
00:05:37,680 –> 00:05:43,979
And you’re not exactly sure you got the meaning. That’s because, it’s not about the words, it’s about the way

71
00:05:43,979 –> 00:05:51,209
they’re said. The only way to fix this, to improve. Is keep listening, keep listening, watch movies, watch TV-shows.

72
00:05:52,060 –> 00:05:57,899
Speak to as many native speakers as you can. Eventually, you’ll start picking these up.

73
00:05:58,599 –> 00:06:00,310
