Hey, Cheeku! Hey, Meeku! Wow! I didn’t expect you here. You just came out of the blue. Out of the blue? I came

00:21
out of my house, not out of the blue. Oh, dear,  out of the blue is an idiom. Idiom? What does  
2
21840
7860
00:29
it mean? Out of the blue. Out of the blue means  suddenly or unexpectedly. If something happens  
3
29700

00:37
out of the blue, it is entirely unexpected. Oh, I  see. Thank you, Cheeku. If you understood it, why

00:46
don’t you use it in a sentence? Frame a sentence  using this idiom, dear. I am sure you will never

forget it. Ok, fine then. Recently, there was  an earthquake in a country called Turkey. Yes,  
6

01:02
it was. The earthquake hit Turkey out of the  blue, which caused many deaths. Wow, very nice,

Meeku. You are a smart girl and a quick learner.  Thank you, Cheeku. But tell me one thing. When I  
8

01:19
came here, you looked gloomy. What was the reason?  Yeah, I felt dejected and downhearted. I know,  
9
79920
8460
01:28
but I wonder what could be the reason. Recently,  Harika got a new barbie doll, and I didn’t.  
10

01:37
I am green with envy over her new barbie doll.  I liked that. Green with envy? What do you mean  
11
97095
7245
01:44
by green with envy? You don’t look green. Offo  Meeku, Green with envy is an idiom, and it means  
12
104340
7860
01:52
being very unhappy because someone has something  you want. Oh, wow, very interesting idiom. So,  
13
112200
10200
02:02
that’s the reason I was green with envy. That’s  ok, dear. Ask her to share the doll with you.  
14

02:08
After all, she is your younger sister. Thanks for  the advice, Meeku. But do you think I didn’t ask  
15
128460
7608
02:16
her? I did. She bluntly denied sharing the doll  with me. I can’t forget the expression on her  
16
136068
7284
02:23
face. She was teasing me. It’s ok, dear. Let her enjoy. It's not ok, Meeku. I feel a pang in my heart 
17
143352

02:32
thinking about the barbie doll. Cheeku, after a couple of days,
18
152928
4606
02:37
she will get bored with the doll and throw it  away. Forget it. Let’s enjoy ourselves. Today  
19

is Holi. I thought of having some fun with you.  Let me apply this pink colour to your face. No,  
20
164220

02:52
Meeku. Don’t that. I don’t like it. It’s  ok, Cheeku. Today is Holi. Have some fun.

Let me apply this pink colour to your face. No,  Meeku. If you do, I’ll beat you black and blue. 
22

03:05
Hey, black and blue? Do you want to beat  me black and blue? What do you mean by black and  
23
185340
7380
03:12
blue? I was trying to apply pink colour to your  face, not black and blue. Arrey baba, black and  
24

03:21
blue is an idiom, which means having dark marks  on your skin because of injury. In Hindi, it  
25
201000
8460
03:29
would be “chot ya maar key karan neela pad jana.”  Oh, in that case, please don’t beat me black and  
26
209460
8760
03:38
blue. I am not strong, and I cannot sustain the  injury. Probably, I may soon get blacked out.  
27
218220
7754
03:45
Blacked out? What do you mean by black out? I have  never heard of it—black out. Arrey baba, black  
28
225974
8746
03:54
out is a phrasal verb, and it means to faint  or to lose consciousness. Behos ho jana. Oh,  
29
234720
9780
04:04
that’s nice. Thanks for adding a new phrasal verb  to my vocabulary. Do you know that this time,  
30
244500

04:11
the math paper was very tough? When I read it,  I was about to black out. Then I realized my  
31
251940
7980
04:19
mother would beat me black and blue if  I didn’t get good marks. I got scared,  
32
259920
6480
04:26
and an idea popped up in my mind out of the blue.  I solved all the questions. Whether the answers  
33
266400
9240
04:35
are correct or not is a different ball game. But  at least I wrote something in the answer sheet.

You know, yesterday, when I came to your  home to play. I saw Harika sitting in a  
35
287280

04:52
corner and eating sweets. I caught her red-handed.  Red-handed? What does it mean? Her hands are not  
36
292980
8640
05:01
red. Arrey, Cheeku, red-handed is an idiom, and it  means to find someone doing something wrong. Oh,  
37
301620
9540
05:11
thank you, Meeku. I got it. I think you are also  learning English fast. Thanks, dear. It’s all  
38

05:18
because of you. I am learning from your videos.  The credit goes to you. I am humbled by your kind
