So in English, when you say, "I'm all for it!",
0
490
2660
00:03
it means that you're saying yes,
1
3150
2120
00:05
but you're saying it in an enthusiastic way.
2
5270
2990
00:08
It means that you are pretty excited
3
8260
2050
00:10
about whatever someone is suggesting to you.
4

00:12
If Jen was to say to me I think we should buy a boat
5
12760
4570
00:17
so that we can go boating on the river,
6
17330
2410
00:19
I could respond by saying, "I'm all for it!",
7
19740
2870
00:22
although I don't really wanna spend money on a boat,
8
22610
2140
00:24
but if I was excited about buying a boat
9
24750
3260
00:28
so that we could go on the river with a boat,
10
28010
2890
00:30
I would respond to Jen by saying, "I'm all for it!",
11
30900
3180
00:34
and again, that simply means not only do I agree,
12
34080
3540
00:37
but I agree wholeheartedly.
13
37620
2400
00:40
Did I do that phrase yet, wholeheartedly?
14
40020
2460
00:42
When you agree wholeheartedly,
15
42480
1540
00:44
it means that you definitely agree.
16
44020
2350
00:46
So once again, if you were to agree
17
46370
2600
00:48
with someone enthusiastically,
18
48970
2010
00:50
if you were super happy
19
50980
1660
00:52
about what someone is suggesting to you,
20
52640
1830
00:54
you could say to them, "I'm all for it!",
21
54470
2790
00:57
and then they'll know for sure that you agree with them.
22
57260
2770
01:00
We have another phrase
23
60030
1840
01:01
that means almost exactly the same thing.
24
61870
2430
01:04
In fact, it's pretty much a direct replacement.
25
64300
2970
01:07
You could say, "I'm all in!"
26
67270
1690
01:08
So if Jen, again, was to say we should buy a boat...
27
68960
4080
01:13
Maybe we should buy a canoe.
28
73040
1680
01:14
We should buy a boat so we can go boating on the river,
29
74720
3090
01:17
I could say, "I'm all in!"
30
77810
1420
01:19
I'm totally into that, and that would mean that I agree
31
79230
2760
01:21
with her, and I'm excited, and I would want to do that.
32
81990
3840
01:25
Should we buy a boat?
33
85830
1190
01:27
Right now, the river is frozen solid.
34
87020
3140
01:30
I think it would be a little difficult to go boating.
35
90160
3270
01:33
It might be easier to go ice-skating right now,
36
93430
2580
01:36
but I think the ice is a little bit too thin.
37

01:39
Anyways, if you say to someone in English, "I'm all for it!"
38
99110
4440
01:43
or if you say to them in English, "I'm all in!",
39
103550
2340
01:45
it means that you agree with them,
40
105890
1480
01:47
and you would be happy to do
41
107370
1450
01:48
what they are suggesting that you do.
42
108820
1690
01:50
Anyways, I'm Bob the Canadian,
43
110510
1550
01:52
and you're learning English with me every day.
44
