Meaning of MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English, the phrase,

"Mind your own business!",

means that you want that person to stop

asking you questions about your life

or to stop prying into your life

or into your private affairs.

Sometimes you will know someone

who has trouble minding their own business,

and they are always asking you questions about your life.

It's not exactly polite to say this,

but you could say to them,

"Please, mind your own business,

please, stop asking me questions about my life,

please, stop prying into the things

that I do on a daily basis,

please, mind your own business."

It's kind of a funny phrase

because it has the word business in it,

but it doesn't have anything to do with business at all.

So if you say to someone,

"Please, mind your own business.",

you're asking them to stop asking you

questions about a part of your life.

Hey, we have another phrase with the word business in it,

"business as usual".

When we say that everything is business as usual,

it means that everything is going

the way it would normally go.

So if someone says to you,

"How are things going at work?"

You could say,

"Oh, just business as usual.

I go to my job,

I do my job,

I come home from my job,

it's the same thing every day,

it's just business as usual."

So again, this is just a way

to describe when things are going

the way you would normally expect them to go.

and you're learning English with me.

I hope you're having a great day.
