  • Hi.
  • Are you confused sometimes with people's answers?
  • Yeah?
  • No?
  • Yeah?
  • Sure.
  • Okay.
  • This is a recent trend that started... I don't know how long ago.
  • Forty two minutes ago it started.
  • It's starting now.
  • And the way that people in North America, Canada, and America, because in Mexico they speak Spanish...
  • And some other English speaking countries, I don't know, England, New Zealand, Australia, do they do this there too?
  • If you're living in one of these English speaking countries, watch my lesson and tell me in the comments if you hear this confusing answer where you are.
  • So, if someone asks you a question, like, example, hey, Ronnie, do you want to hang out later?
  • I could say, no, yeah.
  • Huh?
  • So, it's very confusing because we have a positive and a negative, but if I say, no, yeah, that actually means yes, I do want to hang out later.
  • Your life would be easier if the person said, no, yeah, let's hang out, but a lot of the times when we speak we shorten our answers.
  • Then we have, yeah, no.
  • So, we think, okay, let's follow the... Oh, this means no.
  • So, hey, do you want to hang out later?
  • Yeah, no.
  • Huh.
  • Well, so that means no, or sometimes we say nope.
  • Nope, it's just another way to say no.
  • Hey, do you want to hang out later?
  • Nope, I don't like you.
  • If they give you another answer or an excuse, we understand more.
  • Hey, do you want to hang out on Saturday?
  • Yeah, no, for sure.
  • Yeah, no, for sure.
  • What?
  • Yes or no?
  • Yeah, no, for sure means one hundred percent yes, definitely.
  • So why don't we just say yes or no?
  • What's going on?
  • Wait for it.
  • I'll explain later.
  • Another one.
  • Hey, do you want to hang out on Sunday?
  • Are you free on Sunday, Ronnie?
  • Yeah, no, yeah.
  • That means yes.
  • Sunday, let's hang out.
  • Oh, hey, what about Monday, Ronnie?
  • Do you want to hang out on Monday?
  • Yeah, no, yeah.
  • No, no, definitely not.
  • Not free on Sunday at all.
  • Although at first I said no, and then I said yeah, and they said no.
  • No, yeah, no.
  • Not going to do it on Monday.
  • I used to do this a lot when I was a kid.
  • I would go to my friend's house, and I was a shy kid, I'm still shy, and my friend would say, hey, Ronnie, do you want a Diet Coke?
  • And I'd say, sure.
  • What I should say is yes or yes, please.
  • But I have a tendency instead of saying yes or no to... Instead of saying yes to say sure.
  • So if someone asks you a question and the answer is sure, that means yes.
  • Are you sure?
  • Yes.
  • Sure, sure, sure.
  • So, sure is a different meaning.
  • So, when I was doing this lesson, I was thinking, oh, why do we do this?
  • Why can't we just say, hey, do you want to hang out later?
  • Yes.
  • Hey, do you want to hang out later?
  • No.
  • Why do we do this?
  • So, we have a technique in English called softening the answer.
  • So, you don't want to make your friend cry when you say, no, I hate you.
  • So, we do this to soften the image, say, hey, do you want to hang out later?
  • Yeah, no.
  • It's like you're giving the person the possibility of it being a yes, and then you're like, no.
  • So, the person's got their hopes up, and they're all excited, and then, no.
  • Yeah, no.
  • Maybe that isn't a way of softening things.
  • Maybe it's making it harder for that person.
  • Why doesn't he want to hang out?
  • I do this.
  • This is what I do.
  • This is why I do this.
  • So, taking time to think of an excuse.
  • So, thinking time.
  • Hey, Ronnie, do you want to hang out later?
  • Yeah.
  • No, you know, I can't.
  • Sorry.
  • I've got to go walk my dog later.
  • Yeah.
  • Hey, Ronnie, do you want to hang out later?
  • Yeah.
  • You have got any plans?
  • No?
  • Yeah, for sure.
  • Let's do it.
  • Okay.
  • And the other reason why we do this is I mentioned at the beginning, it's a trend.
  • So this language, we didn't... People didn't speak like this, like, twenty, thirty years ago.
  • It's just something that's come up recently to confuse you.
  • Aren't you happy you live in this time?"
  • Maybe it was during the pandemic, people were like, let's make answers more difficult to waste more time, so we have more social interaction with people.
  • But if you're curious about all these Canadian or American weird slang things that we talk about, I do have private online lessons.

  • Check out all of the lessons on www.engvid.com.
  • Yeah?
  • No?
  • Yeah?
  • You're going to do it, yeah, but no, but yeah.
  • Okay.
  • Till then, let's hang out later.
  • Yeah?
  • No.
  • Yeah?
  • No.
  • Yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • No.
  • Yeah.
