Party | Learn English related to a party | Havisha Rathore | Party English | Restaurant English

Hello, friends! I am Ranjan Shekhawat. A warm welcome to this Channel! Today, in this

video, we are going to learn English related to a party or, I would say, dining

out in a restaurant. Let's get started without much ado. The meal has three

parts. But before going into the details of the parts of a meal, let's understand

the meaning of the different positions of Cutlery we keep while we are having

our meal. The knives, forks, and spoons that we use for eating food are

called Cutlery. If you keep the Cutlery this way, if you keep the fork and

this knife this way, it means that you're ready to start your meal. You're ready to

start your meal. If you keep the cutlery this way then it means that you haven't

finished your meal but you've paused and you're talking to someone or doing

something, and you have paused eating for some time. If you keep your cutlery in this

way, it means that you're ready for your next meal, or I would say, you're ready

for your next dish. When you don't like the taste of the food, you place the cutlery

in this way. You place the cutlery crossed in this

way when you do not like the taste of the food. When you place your cutlery in

this way, it means that your meal was excellent. You loved the meal, and it was

excellent. In that case, you place the cutlery in this way. Now, if you place

your fork in this way, it means that you will be a regular customer, or I would

say, you will visit again. If you insert your knife into the fork in this

way, it means that you did not enjoy the service. Keeping the cutlery parallel to

each other indicates that you're finished. Your meal is over, and you're

satisfied. This is a knife. Fork. Spoon. We have understood the meaning of the

different positions of cutlery. Now, let's understand the parts of a meal. A meal

has three parts: The starter, the main course, and the dessert. Starter: I'm

having a soup as a starter. But, what do you mean by a starter?

A starter is a small dish you have before having the main course or the main meal.

So, I'm having a soup as a

starter. It's too hot. My God, I need to wait until it turns cold or I would say

until it turns normal. But, then the question arises. Why do we have a starter?

Because a starter increases our appetite. So, I'm having this soup so that this

soup can increase my appetite and I can have all the dishes which I want to

have. Right now, I'm going to have the main

course. But what do you mean by a main course? If I say a main course, it means

it is the main part of the meal such as now, I'm going to have the main part of

the meal. So, I'm going to have the main course. You know, sometimes, when I'm very

very hungry, I skip the starter and have the main course directly because I don't want

something, you know, I can say, which will stop my Hunger for some time.

Instead, I want something which will quench my Hunger immediately. So, that's

why, I skip the starter and have the main course. So, the main part of the meal is

called the main course. Right now, I'm going to have my dessert. Just pay attention,

here, dessert, not desert. Desert is something else, and dessert is something

else. Dessert is, I can say, dessert is the food, or I would say the sweet food taken

after the main course or after the main meal. So, this is a sweet food, or I would

say, this is a sweet food which I am going to take after the meal and I have

finished my meal. I'm going to take the dessert, desert, no, dessert. I'm going to

take the dessert.

Dessert. So, I'm going to have a dessert. I love to have a dessert. It's yummy. Oh,

there's another dessert. Let me go and have it.

You go to a restaurant and order food but you don't finish the whole meal. Some

food is left. What do you do? You left the food as it is. I think you do that. But

some people request the waiter to pack the leftover food. The waiter uses a bag

or container to pack the leftover food. What do you call that bag or that

container in English? This is a doggy bag. But what is a doggy bag? A doggy bag is a

bag provided by the restaurant so that you can take home the leftover

food. Now, let's understand the meaning of a square meal. When people talk about a

square meal, it means they talk about a substantial and satisfying meal. For

example, I don't need a fancy restaurant. I just need a square meal means I just

need a substantial and satisfying meal. Another very common question is that

when the napkin should be used, and the answer is very simple. You should use

napkin only for wiping your hands and dabbing your mouth. Only for wiping your

hands and dabbing your mouth. Step out in style. Havisha stepped out in

style. It means that havisha went out wearing fashionable dress or stylish

dress. We're stepping out in style. Isn't it? My mother is hanging out with her

friends. But, what is this hangout? Hangout means to spend a lot of time in a place

or with someone. Today is my brother's birthday. So, I planned to eat out. Eat out?

What is this eat out? Eat out means to eat in a

restaurant. So, I've decided to eat in a restaurant as today is my brother's

birthday. Throw a party. I've decided to throw a party to celebrate my brother's

birthday. Throw a party? What do you mean by throw a party? Throw a party

means to have a party. I didn't expect that this birthday of the birthday boy

would be celebrated so grandly. I have to agree this time the birthday

boy just pulled off and now here we are to celebrate his birthday. But what do

you mean by pull off, or I would say, what do you mean by pull something off? Hm, it

means you succeed in doing something impossible, or I would say, you succeed in

doing something really difficult or unexpected. So, that is called pull off.

I repeat pull off but if I use this word or I would say if I use this

phrase pull off like for a car or a bike, or I would say, if a car or a bike

pulls off, it means, it has started to move. It has started to move. For example,

the moment we got into the car, the car pulled off means it started to move and

sped the road. As you can see the preparation for the birthday bash is on.

But what is this bash? Bash means a party or I would say it is another way of

saying a party, like I could say, an anniversary bash means an anniversary party.

Bash is another way of saying party. If you're invited to a party

but unfortunately because of some reason you can't attend the party though you

want to attend the party, so how will you convey this message? You can convey this

message by saying, I'm sorry I can't make it to the party.

The decor at the party is funky. Funky means interesting and fashionable

in a noticeable way. This means the decoration of the party is interesting

and fashionable. For the music also, you could say the music is funky. It means

the music is really interesting. If the decor is not so great, or it is pretty

cheap, you could say the decor is a bit tacky. Tachy means bad quality or cheap

quality or not so good or you could say lousy. When you come to the party a

little late and people are busy enjoying themselves, you could say the party is in

full swing. You know, when I came here the party was in full swing. When you go to a

party or any other restaurant, the meal may be served in two ways: a buffet meal

or a sit-down meal. But what is a buffet or sit-down meal? A buffet means a meal

where people serve themselves food that is arranged on a table like this. Now,

let's understand the meaning of a sit- down meal. I hope you have guessed the

meaning of a sit-down meal. But let's understand it. A sit-down meal is served

to people sitting at a table. For example, if you sit here and are served here by a

waiter or someone else and you don't have to get up for the food then it will

be called a sit-down meal. I always prefer a buffet meal because I can serve myself

according to my choice. I can look at the food and serve myself in the right

quantity according to my appetite. There won't be any wastage of food. Isn't it

nice? Yes, it is. But what is the meaning of appetite? Appetite means the desire

for food. The sight of various varieties of food always increases my appetite. Let

me give you one more piece of information. The spelling of buffet is b

u f f e t. But it is not pronounced as buffet or Buffet. Here, the letter T is

silent. This T is probably busy having food somewhere hiding in the corner of the

hall. That's why we don't call it. We let it have its food. We are not a bunch of

trouble mongers. We are peace loving people. Right? But let me tell you.

Americans and Britishers pronounce this word differently. In American English, it

is pronounced as a buffet. But in British English, it is pronounced as a buffet. Do

you know the word buffet or Buffet can also be used as a verb? But if it is used

as a verb, this naughty letter T doesn't remain silent. We have to pronounce it. We

have to say Buffet, not buffet or Buffet. I hope you got it. The meaning entirely

changes if the word buffet or Buffet is used as a verb. If it is used as a verb,

it doesn't have any relation to the party or the food. When it is used as a

verb, it means hitting something repeatedly. I repeat, hitting something

repeatedly. The birthday boy blew out the candles and cut the cake.

Let me give you one more piece of information. You get more choices if you

order A La Karte. Now, what is this A La Karte? A La Karte is used for a meal in a

restaurant where each dish on the menu has a separate price and there is no

fixed price for a complete meal, or I would say, you choose each from the menu

instead of eating a fixed combination of dishes at a specified price. If you liked

bringing the car. We've stuck here for 5 days. This is so embarrassing.
