We do. We have: 'stem', 'rule out' and 'on the table'.

ืื ื—ื ื• ืขื•ืฉื™ื. ื™ืฉ ืœื ื•: 'ื’ื–ืข', 'ืคื•ืกืœ' ื•'ืขืœ ื”ืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ'.
01:21
That's 'stem', 'rule out' and 'on the table'.
17
81040
3760
ื–ื” 'ื’ื–ืข', 'ืคื•ืกืœ' ื•'ืขืœ ื”ืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ'.
01:24
Right. Well, let's look at your first headline please.

01:28
OK. So, our first headline comes from the Evening Standard and it reads:

ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ืื–, ื”ื›ื•ืชืจืช ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื” ืฉืœื ื• ืžื’ื™ืขื” ืžื”ืื™ื‘ื ื™ื ื’ ืกื˜ื ื“ืจื“ ื•ื”ื™ื ื›ืชื•ื‘ื”:

That's 'stem' โ€“ stop something from increasing.

ื–ื” 'ื’ื–ืข' - ืœืขืฆื•ืจ ืžืฉื”ื• ืžืœื”ื’ื“ื™ืœ.
01:43
OK. So, this word is spelt: S-T-E-M.

4360
ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ืื–, ื”ืžื™ืœื” ื”ื–ื• ืžืื•ื™ืชืช: S-T-E-M.
01:48
It's a verb and it means to stop something from rising,

ื–ื” ืคื•ืขืœ ื•ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืœืžื ื•ืข ืžืžืฉื”ื• ืœืขืœื•ืช,

25
119200

ื”ื’ื•ืฃ ืฉืœ ืฆืžื—, ืœื?
02:01
Grows from the root โ€“ grows upwards
26

2040
ื’ื“ืœ ืžื”ืฉื•ืจืฉ - ื’ื“ืœ ื›ืœืคื™ ืžืขืœื”
02:03
and then the flowers come out of the side of it.
27

2800
ื•ืื– ื”ืคืจื—ื™ื ื™ื•ืฆืื™ื ืžื”ืฆื“ ืฉืœื•.
02:06
The 'stem' is the... the main part of the plant, yes?
28
126240
2320
ื”'ื’ื‘ืขื•ืœ' ื”ื•ื ื”... ื”ื—ืœืง ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ ืฉืœ ื”ืฆืžื—, ื›ืŸ?
02:08
Yes, it is. You're right,
29
128560
1600
ื›ืŸ ื–ื” ื›ืŸ. ืืชื” ืฆื•ื“ืง,
02:10
but you're using that word as a noun there
30
130160
2840
ืื‘ืœ ืืชื” ืžืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ืžื™ืœื” ื”ื–ื• ื›ืฉื ืขืฆื ืฉื
02:13
and it's not really related to the word that we're looking at.
31
133000
4400
ื•ื–ื” ืœื ืžืžืฉ ืงืฉื•ืจ ืœืžื™ืœื” ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืžืกืชื›ืœื™ื ืขืœื™ื”.
02:17
'Stem' in this case is talking about something undesirable that is spreading
32
137400
5440
'ื’ื–ืข' ื‘ืžืงืจื” ื”ื–ื” ืžื“ื‘ืจ ืขืœ ืžืฉื”ื• ืœื ืจืฆื•ื™ ืฉืžืชืคืฉื˜
02:22
or increasing like a virus โ€“ so, we talk about
33
142840
3760
ืื• ืžืชื’ื‘ืจ ื›ืžื• ื•ื™ืจื•ืก - ืื– ืื ื—ื ื• ืžื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืขืœ
02:26
'stemming' the spread of the virus to stop the spread of the virus.
34

'ื‘ืœื™ืžืช' ืืช ื”ืชืคืฉื˜ื•ืช ื”ื ื’ื™ืฃ ื›ื“ื™ ืœืขืฆื•ืจ ืืช ื”ืชืคืฉื˜ื•ืช ื”ื ื’ื™ืฃ.
02:31
And we quite often use it with expressions like 'stem the tide of'
35
151600
4440
ื•ืœืขืชื™ื ืงืจื•ื‘ื•ืช ืื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ื• ืขื ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ื™ื ื›ืžื• 'ืœืขืฆื•ืจ ืืช ื”ื’ืื•ืช'
02:36
or 'stem the rise of' something.
36
156040
3200
ืื• 'ืœืขืฆื•ืจ ืืช ืขืœื™ื™ืชื• ืฉืœ' ืžืฉื”ื•.
02:39
And we can also use it about 'stemming the rise in crime'
37
159240
3400
ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื–ื” ื’ื ืขืœ 'ื‘ืœื™ืžืช ื”ืขืœื™ื™ื” ื‘ืคืฉื™ืขื”'
02:42
or maybe the government might want to 'stem the number of protesters' in a...
38
162640
4440
ืื• ืื•ืœื™ ื”ืžืžืฉืœื” ืชืจืฆื” 'ืœื‘ืœื•ื ืืช ืžืกืคืจ ื”ืžืคื’ื™ื ื™ื' ื‘...
02:47
in a protest โ€“ that kind of thing.
39
167080
2320
ื‘ืžื—ืื” - ื“ื‘ืจ ื›ื–ื”.
02:49
Yeah, it's talking about things that people see as undesirable,
40
169400
4520
ื›ืŸ, ื–ื” ืžื“ื‘ืจ ืขืœ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ืจื•ืื™ื ื›ืœื ืจืฆื•ื™ื™ื,
02:53
but there is another way that we use the word 'stem'
41
173920
3560
ืื‘ืœ ื™ืฉ ื“ืจืš ืื—ืจืช ืฉื‘ื” ืื ื—ื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ืžื™ืœื” 'ื’ื–ืข'
02:57
and that can also mean โ€“ as a verb โ€“
42
177480
2160
ื•ื–ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ื’ื ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืžืฉืžืขื•ืชื” - ื‘ืชื•ืจ ืคื•ืขืœ -
02:59
it can also mean 'to originate'. It's a different meaning.
43
179640
3840
ื”ื™ื ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ื’ื ืœื”ื™ื•ืช 'ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ'. ื–ื• ืžืฉืžืขื•ืช ืื—ืจืช.
03:03
It means to originate or come from.
44
183480
2000
ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืœืžื•ืฆื ืื• ืœื‘ื•ื.
03:05
So, for example, the problem 'stems from' the lack of funding
45
185480
5360
ื›ืš, ืœืžืฉืœ, ื”ื‘ืขื™ื” 'ื ื•ื‘ืขืช' ืžื”ื™ืขื“ืจ ืžื™ืžื•ืŸ
03:10
or it 'stems from' the lack of funding.

4240
ืื• ืฉื”ื™ื 'ื ื•ื‘ืขืช' ืžื—ื•ืกืจ ืžื™ืžื•ืŸ.
03:15
So, meaning โ€“ as you say โ€“ it comes from.
47
195080
1920
ืื–, ื›ืœื•ืžืจ - ื›ืžื• ืฉืืชื” ืื•ืžืจ - ื–ื” ื‘ื.
03:17
It originates from something and goes on to be a bad problem.
