show, aero India show, and I thought while being here why don't we learn a little
3
14820

00:21
bit more English together at this place. I'm really excited for it. So, let's start

without wasting further time. [Music]

This aircraft reminded me an idiom which is fly by the seat of your pants.
6
31220
8880
00:40
and what does it mean? It means when you don't have knowledge about anything and
7
40100
5440
00:45
you really don't have experience but you go for it, just hoping that you may get
8
45540
4499
00:50
success, and then you go for it so that is called fly by the seat of your pants.
9

00:55
For example, he did not have any knowledge. he did not go through any
10
55920
4920
01:00
training, but still, he decided to fly by the seat of his pants and try his luck
11
60840
5639
01:06
in the USA. Look, the helicopter is flying and this helicopter which is flying
12
66479
6481
01:12
reminded me another idiom which is pigs might fly and it expresses disbelief or
13
72960
7860
01:20
the idea that Miracles might happen, which are extremely unlikely. For example,
14
80820
7080
01:27
I told my sister that I am going to Aero India show. She told me you go to Aero
15
87900
6600
01:34
India show, I'll buy my own airplane. My sister told me, and what did I say? I told
16
94500
5220
01:39
her that pigs might fly. The next idiom is to clear the air, and it means to
17
99720
7259
01:46
remove the causes of fear and suspicion about a problem and try to talk about it
18
106979
7500
01:54
openly. For example, my sister and I fought, and we did not talk for two days.
19
114479
6180
02:00
But yesterday we decided to break the ice and clear the air. You know another
20
120659
6240
02:06
idiom which is "will never fly." Will never fly means it will never be successful.
21
126899
8281
02:15
For example, my sister has incredible ideas but all of them will never fly. The
22
135180
9120
02:24
next idiom is fly off the handle, and it means to become suddenly very angry. For
23
144300
6840
02:31
example, I damaged my sister's new car toy, and when she came to know about it,
24
151140
5840
02:36
she just flew off the handle. The next idiom is "With flying colours," and it means
25
156980
7300
02:44
to do something very successfully. For example, my sister passed the Olympiad
26
164280
7920
02:52
exam with flying colours. The next idiom is "To vanish Into Thin Air," to vanish in
27
172200
7560
02:59
thin air and it means if someone or something
28
179760
4880
03:04
you know just vanishes into thin air, it means it disappears or vanishes
29
184640
6300
03:10
completely without leaving any trace and that too in a mysterious way. For example,
30
190940
7200
03:18
in an exam, my friend or I would say one of my friends asked me for a pen and I gave
31
198140
8679
03:26
it to her and you know what, after the exam, she vanished into thin air. The next
32
206819
6181
03:33
idiom is Fly by Night. If someone is Fly by Night person, Fly by
33
213000
6000
03:39
Night business, it means it operates briefly and disappears overnight. For
34
219000
6180
03:45
example, my father invested in a bank. He deposited some money, and you know what,
35
225180
6360
03:51
after two days, the bank vanished Into Thin Air. It means I can say that the bank
36
231540
6119
03:57
was a fly-by-night bank. Look at that aircraft! The aircraft is taking off. Wow!
37
237659
6744
04:04
Amazing! Awesome! The next idiom is "With a flying start," and
38
244403
5976
04:10
it means when you do something and it gets immediate success. So, that is called
39
250379
5521
04:15
"With a flying start" means to get off with a flying start. For example, I wrote
40
255900
6059
04:21
a book and it was published and you know what, the sales of the book got off to a
41
261959
6240
04:28
flying start. The next idiom is "A pie in the sky," and it means if something is
42
268199
5541
04:33
unrealistic, or it is unlikely to be achieved. So, that thing is "A pie in the
43
273740
4959
04:38
sky." For example, during elections politicians promised to provide Low
44
278699
6241
04:44
House costing for everyone, but it turned out to be a pie in the sky. The next
45
284940
6600
04:51
idiom is "Full of hot air," and it means if someone talks a lot and
46
291540
7620
04:59
talks every time nonsense without anything worthwhile. So, in that case,
47
299160
5819
05:04
we can use the idiom, "Full of hot air." For example, my sister is full of hot air. She
48
304979
7921
05:12
talks a lot but she never bothers to talk about something worthwhile. The next
49
312900
5760
05:18
idiom is "The sky is the limit," and it means the success or the possibility of
50
318660
5819
05:24
something is unlimited. So, for that case, we use the idiom, "the sky is the limit." For example,
51
324479
6660
05:31
somebody asked me, what do you think will be the success of your YouTube channel?
52
331139
4801
05:35
And I simply said, "I don't know I hope it will get success.
53
335940
4500
05:40
The sky is the limit." Wow, wonderful! See, another airplane is taking off.
54
340440
7680
05:48
It's a really mesmerizing View. Really awesome, amazing. The next idiom is
55
348120
8419
05:56
"To walk on air." and it means when someone becomes extremely happy.
56
356539
7841
06:04
So, for that, we use, "Walk on air." For example, when my sister came to know that
57
364380
7920
06:12
she had passed the Olympiad exam, she started to walk on air. The next idiom is
58
372300
7500
06:19
"In dribs and drabs," and it means to arrive in small numbers or small
59
379800
5100
06:24
quantities and slowly increase. The next idiom is "Left hanging in the air," and it
60
384900
6359
06:31
means if there is a problem and it is not resolved. It is left as it is. So, in
61
391259
5701
06:36
that case, we use the idiom, "Left hanging in the air." For example, traffic
62
396960
7140
06:44
is a great problem of Bengaluru but still the problem is left hanging in the
63
404100
6599
06:50
air. The next idiom is "Up in the air," and it means if a plan or decision is not
64
410699
5401
06:56
settled or decided then it is up in the air. For example, we are planning to go to
65
416100
6180
07:02
Europe, but still, the plan is up in the air. Pedestrian keep right. Do you know
66
422280
6120
07:08
the meaning of pedestrian? Pedestrian means the people who walk on
67
428400
5460
07:13
foot, are called pedestrian. Now see I am a pedestrian because I'm walking on my
68
433860
6899
07:20
foot, on my foot, not in my foot. It's on my foot. I'm walking on my foot, not in my
69
440759
7440
07:28
foot. I hope you know that. If not then also it's okay, I told you now. Pedestrian
70
448199
5161
07:33
also means boring or not interesting. For example, his book is pedestrian. Now, let's
71
453360
6720
07:40
go! Do you know why I am sitting here? Because my dogs are barking, and I hope
72
460080
5100
07:45

470280

put off my shoes. [Music]
75
474479

Quench your thirst. I quenched my thirst.
