3 popular slang words in British English

3 cuvinte argotice din engleza britanica

Hey, everyone.

Salut tuturor.

In this lesson we're going to talk about three slang words that I hear around in London

In aceasta lectie vom vorbi despre 3 cuvinte argotice pe care le aud prin Londra

all the time.

tot timpul.

I'm sitting on a bus, someone uses this word; walking down the street in the supermarket,

Stau in autobuz -- cineva foloseste acest cuvint; merg pe strada sau prin supermarket --

hear these words.

aud aceste cuvinte.

These words are just, like, following me around or something because I'm hearing them

Cuvintele astea ma cam urmaresc fiindca le aud

way too often.

atit de des!

So these must be the most well-used, most fashionable slang words at this time.

Bun, deci astea ar fi cele mai folosite si la moda cuvinte argotice din ziua de azi,

Okay?

Let's start with number one: "Sorted".

ok?

Sa incepem cu primul cuvint -- "Sorted".

"Sorted" is a word from the 1990s, and it seemed to die for a while and nobody was using

"Sorted" e un cuvint din anii '90 care parea sa fi disparut la un moment dat si nimeni nu-l mai folosea,

it, but now everyone's like: "Sorted. Sorted."

dar acum mai toata lumea zice "Sorted. Sorted."

You use "sorted" when you have just finished or agreed to something, and now it's done,

Se foloseste "sorted" atunci cind tocmai ai terminat ceva sau ai zis ca esti de acord cu ceva, lucrurile fiind deja puse la punct,

so you say: "Sorted".

asa ca spui "Sorted."

"Sorted" as in done or fixed.

"Sorted" ca in "s-a facut" sau "gata, s-a aranjat".

So someone could say to you: "Have you got...?

Deci cineva poate sa-ti zica asa: "Ai...?

Have you got the food ready for the dinner party this evening?"

Ai pregatit mincarea pentru petrecerea din seara asta?"

You go: "Sorted. Sorted."

La care tu zici: "Facut. S-a facut."

And people do that kind of enthusiastic movement, like...

In plus, lumea afiseaza aceasta miscare entuziasta...

Or like little proud eye: "Sorted. Sorted."

Sau iti arunca un colt de privire mindra: "Facut. S-a facut."

And I always think it looks a bit lame when people say: "Sorted", or I think they're trying

Dar totdeauna mi s-a parut ceva cam fortat cind oamenii spun "Facut" -- sau poate ca ei incearca

to look cool when they say it.

sa arate c-ar fi super tari cind spun asta.

But it seems to be...

Dar pare a fi...

It seems to be said a lot at the moment, it's used in a lot of advertisements.

Pare a fi rostit de multe ori in momentul de fata, e folosit foarte mult in anunturile publicitare.

See it, watch it. Sorted.

Ai vazut -- ai urmarit -- s-a facut.

So it must be...

Asa incit pesemne e

Must be really hip and trendy now.

Pesemne e chiar foarte la moda si misto in ziua de azi.

When...

In my...

Cind...

In...

In my ears this is, like, someone who's trying to hold on really hard to the 1990s and they

In urechi imi suna ca si cind cineva s-ar tine disperat de anii '90 si care

still think it's cool to say, in my mind.

crede ca inca ar fi la moda s-o spuna, zic eu.

Maybe I missed out on why this is so cool.

Poate ca ceva imi scapa pentru a intelege de ce acest cuvint ar trebui sa fie foarte misto.

And I also think it's quite yuppie, kind of yuppie kind of... Yuppie kind of word, so you've

Si mai cred ca acest cuvint este si al celor din lumea corporatista, un cuvint al celor ce

got a bit of money.

au ceva bani.

Maybe you're not that cool, but you'd like to think you are and you...

Poate nu esti chiar atit de haios, desi ai vrea sa crezi ca esti si atunci

Or maybe you've got enough money to buy cool things and go to cool places, but you're still

Sau poate ai destui bani sa cumperi lucruri misto si sa vizitezi locuri misto dar tot nu

not really that cool.

esti chiar atit de haios.

You might be the kind of person who says: "Sorted. Sorted."

Atunci ai putea fi genul de persoana care sa zica: "Facut. S-a facut".

Okay. Let's move on to the next word which is a classic, an absolute classic, but one that

Bun si asa. Sa trecem acum la celalalt cuvint, care este un "clasic", un clasic absolut ce

endures is: "Innit".

continua insa sa dainuie: "Innit".

"Do you get what I'm saying, mate?

"Te-ai prins ce vreau sa zic, baiete?

You're having a laugh, aren't ya?

Rizi, nu?

You better take that back to your shop. Innit"?

Ar fi bine dac-ai baga asta la cap. Este?"

"Innit" means "isn't it", but it gets put on the end of when you say something to show

INNIT inseamna "isn't it" dar se pune la sfirsit cind spui ceva ca sa arati

that you're finished speaking, but also to emphasize what you said before.

ca ai terminat de vorbit dar si sa subliniezi ceea ce ai spus inainte.

It means: "Isn't it".

Inseamna "nu-i asa, este?"

I did a shouting example then, but I can say...

Am folosit un exemplu cu cineva care s-a rastit la altcineva dar pot spune...

If I want you...

Daca vreau ca tu sa...

It's a question type, so I can say: "Oh, the weather's terrible today. Innit?",

E o formula de intrebare, asa ca pot spune: "O, vremea e urita azi, nu-i asa?"

"The weather's really bad today. Isn't it?"

"Vremea e chiar urita azi. Nu-i asa?"

You can put...

Poti pune...

You can put it at the end of any statement to either emphasize or make someone agree with you.

O poti pune la sfirsitul oricarui enunt fie pentru a sublinia ceva sau pentru a convinge pe cineva sa fie de acord cu tine.

So whereas "sorted" was the...

Deci in timp ce "sorted" era...

Let's say more upper-class word, "innit" is the more working-class word.

Sa zicem un cuvint mai mult al celor dintr-o clasa sociala superioara, "innit" este mai mult un cuvint al clasei muncitoare.

And if you wanted...

Si daca ai vrut sa...

If maybe if you are a bit posh and you didn't want everybody to know, you might use the

Si daca poate esti putin sofisticat si nu vrei ca altii sa stie asta, poti folosi uneori

word "innit" sometimes just so you can, like, look like you're cool with the kids.

cuvintul "innit" ca sa poti arata ca esti haios cu copiii.

Next example,

Exemplul urmator,

really hot right now is: "Dab!"

foarte la moda acum este "Dab!"

Just dabbing.

Fac si eu gestul asta.

You say "dab" if you do something that you think is really cool and you were successful at it.

Spui "dab" daca faci ceva ce crezi c-ar fi chiar haios si la care ai fost foarte priceput sa-l faci.

So, let's say I thought it was really cool to flip this pen and catch it...

Sa zicem deci c-ar fi misto sa arunc in aer acest pix si sa-l prind...

I didn't ca-...

Nu l-am pri...

I can't dab.

Nu pot sa "dab".

Right?

Nu?

I'm going to try it again.

Incerc din nou.

I've got more pens.

Am mai multe pixuri.

Right?

Este?

As long as I catch...

Pina cind prind...

Dab, dab. Dab.

Dad, dab. Dab.

I'm dabbing.

Fac si eu gestul asta.

Okay?

Ok?

So that's what "dab" is.

Si asta e "dab".

It translates as awesome or really cool, like: "Oh, unbelievable".

Se traduce prin grozav sau foarte misto, ca in "O, incredibil!"

Like: "Everybody cheer.

Ca in "Toata lumea sa strige acum.

Dab! Dab!"

Dab! Dab!"

That's "dab".

Asta e "dab".

Dab's really hot right now.

Dab e foarte la moda acum.

"Dab" is said by 12-year-olds and under.

"Dab" spun copiii de si sub 12 ani.

They can be of any...

Ei pot fi din orice

Any class.

Orice clasa sociala.

So let's just put "kids" here.

Deci sa scriem aici "copii".

They are the three hottest slang words of today in London.

Acestea sint cele trei cuvinte foarte la moda acum la Londra.
