So earlier, I was outside with Jen,
0
450
2500
00:02
and I said, "It's really hot out here."
1
2950
2310
00:05
And she said, "You can say that again."
2
5260
1950
00:08
It didn't mean that she wanted me
3
8240
2370
00:10
to actually say that again.
4
10610
2110
00:12
It's just a phrase we use in English
5
12720
1970
00:14
when we agree with someone.
6
14690
1670
00:16
It's about 31 degrees here.
7
16360
1820
00:18
Which is quite a bit
different than a few weeks ago
8
18180
2750
00:20
when it was snowing.
9
20930
1420
00:22
And it's a little hot.
10
22350
1820
00:24
It's not overly hot, but
it's not what we expect
11
24170
2700
00:26
at this time of year.
12
26870
850
00:27
So you would often, when
we have a bit of heat
13
27720
2990
00:30
at this time of year, people say,
14
30710
1197
00:31
"Wow, it's really hot out here."
15
31907
1903
00:33
And the people might reply and say,
16
33810
1547
00:35
"You can say that again."
17
35357
1703
00:37
This isn't limited to the weather, though.
18
37060
1970
00:39
If you ever agree with someone,
19
39030
2580
00:41
and they say something
that you agree with,
20
41610
1920
00:43
you can say, "You can say that again."
21
43530
1750
00:45
And again, it doesn't
mean that you want them
22
45280
2980
00:48
to say it again.
23
48260
900
00:49
It doesn't mean that you
want them to say it twice.
24
49160
2850
00:52
Sometimes people do just
for fun, or to be funny.
25
52010
3840
00:55
But when you say, "You
can say that again."
26
55850
2490
00:58
It simply means, I agree with you.
27
58340
2063
01:01
And then there's this
other weird English phrase,
28
61810
1927
01:03
"I couldn't agree more."
29
63737
1213
01:04
Which, looks like it's in the negative.
30
64950
3380
01:08
It's not in the negative.
31
68330
1120
01:09
It actually means that
you agree with someone.
32
69450
2560
01:12
So again, if I said to Jen,
33
72010
1667
01:13
"Wow it's really hot out here."
34
73677
1173
01:14
She could say, "I couldn't agree more."
35
74850
1880
01:16
Which means she actually
agrees with me 100%.
36
76730
3830
01:20
So again, if you say to someone,
37
80560
2057
01:22
"You can say that again."
38
82617
1103
01:23
It means that you agree with them.
39
83720
1600
01:25
And if you say to someone,
40
85320
1647
01:26
"I couldn't agree more."
41
86967
1243
01:28
It means that you agree with them as well.
42

Anyways, Bob the Canadian
here on a hot sunny day,
43
90260
2920
01:33
here in Ontario, Canada.
44
93180
2090
01:35
We're not quite used to it,
45
95270
1100
01:36
but we will get used to
this weather eventually.
46
96370
1960
01:38
I know for some of you, it's way hotter.
47
98330
2470
01:40
So I don't want to complain
too much about the heat.
48
100800
2500
01:43
Anyways, hope you're having a good day.
49
103300
1850
01:45
And I hope you enjoyed
this little English lesson.
