So in English, when we say, "I'm fed up.",
0
470
3120
00:03
it means that you don't want any more of something.

00:07
Right now, in Canada, we are getting a lot of snow,
2
7387
3993
00:11
and I love snow, but people who don't like snow
3
11380
3690
00:15
might say, "I'm fed up with all the snow
4
15070
3517
00:18
"that we have around."
5
18587

00:19
You see behind me, we got a nice dumping
6
19970
2570
00:22
of snow this morning.
7
22540
1203
00:24
Because I like snow, I wouldn't say that,
8
24600
2360
00:26
but you could also say "I'm fed up."
9
26960
3040
00:30
when you are talking about someone's behavior.
10
30000
3130
00:33
Maybe you have a friend who isn't very nice to you,
11
33130
3220
00:36
and you could say, "I'm fed up with them
12
36350
2567
00:38
"not being nice to me."
13
38917
1480
00:40
"I'm fed up with them being mean."
14
40397
2770
00:44
So when you're fed up with something,
15
44310
1720
00:46
it means that you don't want to experience it any more,
16
46030
4360
00:50
you don't want to see it any more.
17
50390
1970
00:52
So again, some people might say I'm fed up,
18
52360
3090
00:55
when they look at all this snow.
19
55450
1620
00:57
I certainly wouldn't, because I really, really like it.
20
57070
3330
01:00
We have another phrase in English
21
60400
1750
01:02
that means the same thing,
22
62150
1250
01:03
and that phrase is, "I've had enough."
23
63400
2770
01:06
So again, if we look at the snow here,
24
66170
2760
01:08
I'm sure some people are saying,
25
68930
1627
01:10
"I've had enough of this snow."
26
70557
2100
01:12
"I just want to go to someplace"
27
72657
2100
01:14
"where it's a lot warmer than Canada,"
28
74757
2483
01:17
or they might say, "I'm fed up with all this snow."
29
77240
2480
01:19
So again, two phrases, when you are fed up with something
30
79720
4230
01:23
or when you have had enough of something,
31
83950
2750
01:26
it means that you don't want to see any more of it
32
86700
3290
01:29
or experience any more of it.
