So when we say, "Get out!" in English,
0
330
2770
00:03
it could literally mean that you want the person
1
3100
2830
00:05
to leave the room.
2
5930
1330
00:07
But the definition I wanna talk about today
3
7260
2890
00:10
is when we say, "Get out!" to express disbelief
4
10150
4040
00:14
when someone shares news with us.
5
14190

00:17
If you research this, it might say
6
17600
1970
00:19
that we use the phrase, "Get out!"
7
19570
2420
00:21
when we don't believe good news
8
21990
2450
00:24
or when we don't believe bad news,
9
24440
1590
00:26
but in Canada, we actually use it for both.
10
26030
2940
00:28
So a good example would be, if my sister said,
11
28970
4090
00:33
"I won the lottery.
12
33060
1220
00:34
I won a million dollars."
13
34280
2020
00:36
I could respond by saying, "Get out!"
14
36300
2810
00:39
Basically, what I'm saying is, "I don't believe you."
15
39110
4570
00:43
If my sister won the lottery, I probably would say, 'Get out!",
16
43680
4470
00:48
and again, it's just a way of expressing disbelief
17
48150
4640
00:52
for something someone has said.
18
52790
1480
00:54
So this is a good way to express disbelief
19
54270
3430
00:57
by saying, "Get out!"
20
57700
1570
00:59
It is actually a short form of a longer phrase,
21
59270
4140
01:03
"Get out of here!"
22
63410
1460
01:04
And we usually say this with a little bit
23
64870
2210
01:07
of a slang pronunciation.
24
67080
1540
01:08
We say, "Get outta here!"
25
68620
1930
01:10
So again, a good example would be if my sister said,
26
70550
3620
01:14
"I just won a million dollars in the lottery!"
27
74170
3160
01:17
I would probably respond in disbelief.
28
77330
3220
01:20
I would probably respond by saying, "Get outta here!
29
80550
2940
01:23
You can't be serious."
30
83490
1690
01:25
Or "Get outta here! I don't believe you!"
31
85180
3250
01:28
So again, if you say, "Get out!"
32
88430
2940
01:31
or if you say, "Get out of here!"
33
91370
2400
01:33
both are ways to express disbelief in English
34
93770
3740
01:37
for something someone has just said to you.
