I wanna teach you that the word is very common in a movie, but we don't see very much in 英会話text book. Today's word is "NERD". This kind of faces is nerdy face. Another word of similar is "GEEK". Nerd and geek is opposite word of cool person. Noun is 名詞. So you can say "I'm a nerd." or "I'm a geek." It's little bit like ださい or おたく. ださい and おたくare kind of socially awkward people. people that don't feel comfortable in social situation or not smooth or not cool ... like me. じょｐがじぇおｐｍｊふぁｓ
Well...... I like this glass because they make me look nerdy. I wear these on when I'm on the motorcycle because they block the winds. Anyway, please remember the words "nerd" and "geek" and the adjectives【形容詞】 "nerdy" and " geeky"
one more thing おたく has the feeling of expert of something like 映画... 映画オタク・パソコンオタク・インターネットオタク but in English we can also say "computer nerd" or " computer geek"
おっぽっつ(?) more example is here. thank you very much. see you tomorrow.
Hi, everyone. About two weeks ago, I made a video introducing the expression "that's the straw that broke the camel's back. And I got a E-mail asking me how you use it.
Well.. when you describe something that was the 限界,the things that made you do something. For example, if one of my teachers is late for work three times, maybe on the four times I'll be fired him.
"YOU'RE FIRED!! Because you are late for the fourth times. That's too many times. That's the straw that broke the camel's back."
This is example. if he's late once, I'm angry but, you know, don't be late again. three times I'm getting very angry. four times, OK. that's it. That's the straw that broke the camel's back. You're fired.
OK. so, when you finally do something like... let say another example....
I have a computer and every once in a while it crashes. it freezes. I lose everything. that's annoying. that's happened two or three times. but one day it crashes and I lose my big project.
OHHH. That's it! :( That's the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm buying a new computer. I'm gonna get Mackintosh on this time, for example.
Remember that the idiom " that's the straw that broke the camel's back" can be shorten "That's the las straw!". You can say "That's the last straw!" before you take an action.
That's the last straw! You're fired!
That's the last straw! I'm getting a new computer!
That's the last straw! I want a divorce!
so any kind of strong rejection
First and then, you say decision or "that wasthe las straw!" and describe what you did before.
For example, someone ask you,
"why did you quit a job?"
" Well.... my boss maybe works on Sunday and that's was the last straw. I couldn't take anymore."
"My boss asked me on a date. That was the last straw, so I quited."
whenever need you make a major decision like quitting your job, breaking up with someone or getting a new computer or car something really makes you change.
Why did you change? Why did you make this decision? that was the last straw.
you'll say what happened and then "that was last straw."
or before you make a decision, "that's the last straw."
Remember even shorter "that's the straw that broke camel's back!" " that's the last straw!" or very short " that's it!" or "that was it"
