mohaneduwk

Thanks Adam, nice lesson!!!!
But, where are the Spanish words???

knopfler86

Hi, Adam. Thanks for the great lesson. Does English have any influance of Russian? :)

Vicbuk

    Sure, Vicbuk. Commonly these Russian words suggest Russian things, but some are more universal, like balaclava, Tsar (czar), vodka, troika, etc. English is a bit of everything actually.

    Adam

* influence

Vicbuk

    Thank you. Great lesson, great teacher. :)

    Vicbuk

Very interesting!

Terrysam

last time, I couldn’t ask the question proper. I am confused in the following sentences:
1. cut the cake without using knife
2. cut the cake without using a knife.
3. cut the cake without using the knife.
4. use knife to cut the cake.
5. use a knife to cut the cake.
6. use the knife to cut the cake .
are all the above sentences correct? If it is so, I would like to know how and when you use them?

Arjit Singh

    2,3, 5, 6 are all correct.
    1 and 4 can be ok in written instructions, but then you would need to remove ‘the’ before cake (essentially, removing understood words).

    The others are a matter of definite or indefinite. a knife = any knife that is available. the knife = a specific knife (i.e., can point to it).

    Does this help?

    Adam

I focused at Guru, lol. Guru means teacher in my country

elianafrans

    Adam

    This is a quid pro quo, Lol

    sartra

    Hello Xingyushenhua!

    Do you have an account on Skype? I also want to practise English with a foreigner, but I am not into Whatsapp.

    Eduardo França

Thank you, Adam!! It is a very interesting topic!!!

JJulian

Hi Adam.
An other very interesting lesson!
As you mentioned, in latino countries we have a completely different meaning for “Qui pro quo” .
In our case a “Qui pro quo” means a confusion or a mistake (taking one thing for an other).
Best wishes.
Angel.

    Interestiong. Thanks Europeangel :)

    Adam

thanks, I get 7/10 :)

There are a lot of words from foreign languages in Spain or in Spanish or “Castilian”, overall from Latin but also from English because is the language that we are studying at the moment. Some of them are “líder”, “manager”, “coach”, “mister”, “gol”, “smoking”, “tennis”, “hardware”, “software”, “freeware”, “poker”, “as”, “futbol” and more of them, but there is a “quid pro quo” between the two languages like “patio”, “plaza”, “piñata”, “Siesta” and “macho” used in English. But there are some more in Engish like “rucksack”, “kindergarten”, “delicatessen”, “rendezvous”, “genre”, “entrepreneur”, “croissant”, and a lot of them which are used commonly as daily expressions. Thanks a lot, teacher Adam, learning English with enchanting explanations will have us to enjoy it and being fun and entertaining, it will also like us to follow its history and development as a form of universal expression among the people of the world.

angardiobel

Sorry for the spelling mistake:

It’s Je ne sais quoi, not qua.

Adam

    I think I found another mistake – ascertain

    roshavbg

      Hi Roshavbg,

      Actually, this is a spacing mistake. It should be a certain (i.e., a certain je ne sais quoi)

      Adam

        Now everything make sense. Thank you for your answer.

        roshavbg

Hi Adam, great lesson, thanks! Seems all languages are influenced by foreign ones. Regarding your lesson I keep in mind a very interesting Gill’s lesson called “Discover the History of English”.

Jorge

Great lesson. Thank you.

Sergey.SSV

Hi adam
Can you explain to me the question number6
I did not understand the meaning very well
Thanks

ahmaiss89

    Hi Ahmaiss89,

    Maria is very talented, but she is also a prima donna, meaning she complains a lot and thinks she is better than others. So, people don’t want to work with her because it is too troublesome.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Interresting to know that parts of foreign language are dispached between every languages, but some domains are more influenced than others (ex more Latin in medical aera, and for French people, more English in data preocessing and computer domain). So, to learn technical vocabulary is a daily work with a part of trip.

marienba

    Interesting point. Thanks Marienba :)

    Adam

Hello my dear teacher! The lesson was very amaizing and interested. I should thank you for this nice lesson. Adam, please, accept my request about this essay. Can tou make a lesson about the Words: everyone, everybody, no one, no body, nothing, something, I mean actually the verb after them must be singulare or plural. For example; No body knows that or No body know that.Please make a lesson about this. That seems very important I Think.

Mehdi 2022

    I’ll get on it, Mehdi ;)

    Adam

      I appreciate your help and I am very happy that there is such a good teacher as you in this program teaching us.

      Mehdi 2022

in Italy instead of “quid pro quo” we use “do ut des” meaning I give in order to receive.
and “qui pro quo” has the meaning of “misunderstandig”:I understand qui instead of quo

papens

    One day, I will learn Italian. Beautiful sounding language :)
    Thanks for the tip Papens.

    Adam

I like vocabulary lessons. Thank you Adam. Do it more with rare words.

KATRIN777

    Sorry THEM!

    KATRIN777

      or…….make them more…….yea…….that’s better.

      KATRIN777

        Will do Katrin ;)

        Adam

Very nice topic, Adam.
Another Latin term I usually read is “bona fide” ☺
It indicates something genuine or made in good faith. Also, it can be referred to the credentials of a person or association, right?

Antonella

    Yes, Antonella, good word (s):) And, yes, both meanings are used commonly.

    There are so many words like these in English. I may need to make another lesson or two to get the main ones :)

    Adam

Good lesson..thanks

Yeify

I don’t know if you know about this, we Japanese learned Tsunami as Tidal wave in my school days. Now it’s a universal word. In a sense, I’m sorry.

FELES

    No need to be sorry Feles :) If it weren’t a Japanese word, it would have been another. Doesn’t make the phenomenon go away.

    Adam

Thank you! Your lessons always challenge me

ndashio

What about per se? I know is Italian but what does it mean and how we do use it.

lori05

    Hi Lori,

    essentially, it means the thing in itself:

    I don’t hate my job per se, I just hate the office politics that goes on there. — the job itself is good, but what goes on around the actual task is not pleasing.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      Thank you Adam it helps a lot. I listen to this word a lot in Friends a show that I really like and also helps me with my understanding. Thank you very much for explaning Adam.

      lori05

Thank you!

Amadeo907

Very interesting lesson, Adam. Thank you.

Júlio César L Sousa

Thank you Adam for this captivating lesson. It was easy for me because my native tongue is French. Speaking of French, I think there is a spelling mistake in one French phrase: you should write “Je ne sais quoi”

Xavier

    Thanks Xavier.

    I put up a notice on the mistake, but will do so again at the end of the comments. ;)

    Adam

Great lesson, congrats for think outside the box, and give us another view of English.

eduardom49

Thanks Mr.Adam , we love you and you are a brilliant Guru

Antar

thanks for the lesson?

Armaghan80

Adam I’m going to begin translate jokes from old magazines(without help) and write them on this forum.(And of course I’ll be glad to read your improvements)
So, let’s get started. The first one.
(From a police officer’s protocol: Mr Siddoroff being too much drunk mixed up his mother-in-law with devil. So…. he’s mistaken….. a little bit.)

KATRIN777

    I love this idea!

    engVid Moderator

      Thank You Moderator.

      KATRIN777

    Senior Awadallah

      Sorry Senior Awadallah, I really have no time.

      KATRIN777

    I agree, good idea :)

    Too much – mean the same, so either too drunk, or very drunk.

    Adam

      Thank you Adam.

      KATRIN777

It was very interesting lesson with a lot of useful information.
Thank you! Keep it up!

Hello Adam,thank you for this nice lesson. I am a very big fan of Engvid and,if you have the time and the willing,I would like a lesson about the Inch and foot height measurement because it is all greek to me. Just a friendly suggestion :D

Noctuabundus

    Adam

pavanut2

Thanks Adam for this very useful lesson. ;)

ctierrez

Hi Adam. I am a big fan of you man. Right now I am going to prepare for the toefl ibt . Can I use these vocabs in the writing section ????

Fahriddin1996

    Hi Fahriddin,

    You can use some, but just make sure it’s the right context and make sure you use them correctly.

    Adam

Adam this is my result of vocabulary test and I’m
proud of it a little bit and I think few people on this forum can do the same(though my aim is 20000).
http://testyourvocab.com/result?user=8672030
In 2013 my result on this same page was 7200 words(even though I read a lot it’s not a big progress)./maybe I need some change in my policy/
Thank you for lesson again!

KATRIN777

    Still a big jump :) I’d say keep at it. it will grow and grow.

    Adam

      Thank you Adam. There’s no way back.

      KATRIN777

Taha Falila

I got 7 our of 10 ,, it’s bad mark i guess :/

hope any one chatting with me in order to enhancing my language !

Senior Awadallah

    it’s a bad mark ,, faux pas language !

    Senior Awadallah

    Not bad at all ;)

    Adam

Hello dear Adam.I have question again.What is redundancies and when,where,why are these used??Can you prepare lesson about it?

Nubar Abdullayeva

    Hi Nubar,

    redundancy means saying thing unnecessarily. This is most commonly an issue in writing.

    A basic example is to say that someone is very pregnant– a woman either is or isn’t pregnant, so the word very is redundant. Or to say that you “own the home you bought” is redundant because own = bought.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      yes dear Adam.it helped me.Thank you again)

      Nubar Abdullayeva

Hello everyone

Md asghar

Thanks, Adam.
There is one sentence I don’t quite understand.
“The nineteenth century saw considerable interest in the nature of genius, and produced not a few studies of famous prodigies.” What does the last sentence mean? ‘produced no’ that means what?
I will appreciate it if you can help. :)

Sophie

    Hi Sophie

    Produced not a few = produced many. This style is used as an an emphasis point to suggest that this topic was popular.

    Does this help?

    Adam

Wow, that was a very interesting lesson du jour!. Thanks a lot our guru Adam.

Basri

Thank u Adam. For a good lesson on usage of foreign words in English

channu

Hello, Adam!
Could you explain me the rule about “the” before “all”, please?
F.ex.:
1. I closed all windows.
2. I closed all the windows.
Which is wrong and why?

kiwi-bird

    Hi Kiwi-bird,

    Technically, both can be used.
    1. windows meaning the windows in a PC
    #2 is correct is terms of windows in the room. The verb (past tense) suggests that we know which windows you are referring to, so they are definite and need a definite article.
    “You should close all windows before beginning the experiment.” In this case, we don’t know how many windows there are, so close all of the ones that exist there..

    Does this help?

Too hard

sinju

Amazing ??

Gouravsharma923

Although I got 10, it’s very hard for me to learn those words.
Thank you teacher!

Young Kyung Lee

Got 08. Thanks Adam ☺

Annie

This is a really interesting and creative lesson, Adam! Thanks so much!

Moreover, I know other examples of foreign words or expression used by English speakers, for instance, “fianceé”, “résumé”, “café”, from French, or “de novo”, from Latin”.

I reckon it isn’t necessary to mention that, in Portuguese (like in many other languages nowadays), there are many (in my opinion too much) English words because of the strong American influence in our culture. It happens especially in the technological field.

Bye-bye!
