Meaning of IT'S NOT MY CUP OF TEA - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English when we say, "It's not my cup of tea.", it means that we are not interested

Entonces, en inglés, cuando decimos "It's not my cup of tea", significa que no estamos interesados

in something or that we don't like something.

en algo o que no nos gusta algo.

So for instance you might have a friend who really, really likes going to the horse races,

Entonces, por ejemplo, podrías tener un amigo al que realmente le gusta mucho ir a las carreras de caballos,

and they call you up and they say, "Hey I'm going to the horse races tonight, do you want

y te llama y te dice: "Hola, voy a ir a las carreras de caballos esta noche, ¿

to come with?"

quieres venir conmigo?".

And you could respond by saying, "No, I, I don't really feel like it.

Y podría responder diciendo: "No, yo, yo realmente no tengo ganas

It's not my cup of tea."

. No es mi taza de té".

And again that simply means that you're not interested in it.

Y de nuevo, eso simplemente significa que no te interesa.

Maybe you have a bunch of friends that are going to a concert and it's for a kind of

Tal vez tienes un grupo de amigos que van a un concierto y es por un tipo de

music you don't like.

música que no te gusta.

You could say, "I think I'm just gonna stay home tonight instead of coming to the concert

Podrías decir: "Creo que me quedaré en casa esta noche en lugar de ir al concierto

with you because that type of music is not my cup of tea."

contigo porque ese tipo de música no es mi taza de té".

I really hope learning English is your cup of tea!

¡Realmente espero que aprender inglés sea tu taza de té!

Have a good day!

¡Que tengas un buen día!
