Today I have got a video for you,

Hôm nay Chị có một video cho các em,

as you can tell by the title

of 10 expressions that use the verb,

vè 10 cách diễn giải trong việt sử dụng động từ,

the verb,

động từ,

the verb verb,

động từ động

expressions using the verb to have.

những cách sử dụng của động từ "to have"

I know that to have is a verb,

Chị biết rằng "to have" là một động từ,

well, it's an auxiliary verb.

chà, nó là một động từ bất quy tắc.

It's a verb that can be really,

Nó là một động từ rằng có thể thật sự,

really confusing for you guys

thật sự bối rối cho các em

because it has so many different meanings,

bởi vì nó có rất nhiều nghĩa khác nhau,

and it's used so frequently.

và nó được sử dụng rất thường xuyên

It's kind of difficult in the moment when you hear it

nó là loại khó khắc khăn trong những lúc khi các em nghe thấy nó.

to work out exactly what it means,

để hiểu rõ chính xác nghĩa của nó là gì,

but I have 10 phrases,

nhưng chị có 10 cụm từ,

10 expressions.

10 cách diễn giải

They're idiomatic.

Chúng mang tính thành ngữ

They're ones that you would use in more informal situations.

Chúng là những cụm từ mà bạn sẽ sử dụng trong trường hợp thông thường hơn

You'd hear them a lot in the United Kingdom.

Bạn sẽ nghe chúng nhiều trong Anh quốc

I think most of them would be used in the US

Chị nghĩ hầu hết chúng sẽ được sử dụng trong khắp nước Mỹ.

and in other English-speaking countries as well.

và trong các nói tiêng Anh khác cũng vậy

So they're pretty universal,

vậy chúng khá là phổ biến,

but they're seriously, seriously useful.

nhưng chúng cực kỳ, cực kỳ hữu dụng

So let's get started with the lesson.

vậy hãy bắt đầu bài học nhé..

Quickly, before we get started,

Nhanh thôi, trước khi chúng ta bắt đầu

nah kidding, not today.

chỉ đùa thôi, không phải hôm nay (ý bả nói quảng cáo như thường lệ)

(laughs)

(cười)

Let's get started with the lesson.

Chúng ta hãy bắt đầu với bài hôm nay

Number one, my first expression using have

Số 1, cách sử dụng đầu tiên của chị sử dụng "have"

is to have a laugh.

là "to have a laugh"

To have a laugh.

Now to have a laugh means to kid around,

Bây giờ "to have a laugh" nghĩa như "to kid around"

or to be joking,

hoặc "to be joking"

or even to have a joke can be said as well.

hoặc thậm chí "to have a joke" co thể được dùng như vậy

So if I say to you,

như vậy nếu chị nói với em

are you having a laugh?

"are you having a laugh?"

I'm essentially saying, are you joking?

Bản chất thì chị đang hỏi, em đang đùa à?

Or sorry, I was just having a laugh.

hoặc xin lỗi, tôi chỉ đùa một chút

Sorry, I was just joking.

Xin lỗi, Tôi chỉ đùa thôi

I wasn't being serious.

Tôi đã không nghiêm túc

Number two, is to have somebody on.

Số 2, là "to have somebody on"

To have somebody on.

"to have somebody on"

So it's a separable,

đây là một cụm từ tách biệt

and this one is always separable, phrasal verb.

và cụm này luôn luôn có thể tách biệt, cụm động từ

In this context,

trong ngữ cảnh này,

in this context,

trong trường hợp này,

it must always be separated.

nó phải được tách ra

It is a separable one for this meaning.

Nó là một cụm được tách ra vì nghĩa này.

It sort of means to persuade somebody

Nó đại khái nghĩa là thuyết phục ai đó

that something is true,

rằng cái gì đó là đúng

when in reality, it isn't.

trong khi sự thật thì không.

So if I don't believe something

cho nên nếu chị không tin tưởng vào cái mà

that somebody is saying to me,

ai đó đang nói với chị

I'll say,

chị sẽ nói

are you having me on?

có phải mày đang xạo phải không?

Are you trying to persuade me that something's true,

có phải mày đang cố gắng lừa gạt tao rằng nó đúng

when it actually isn't in reality?

nhưng thật sự nó không phải sự thật?

(laughs)

(cười)

See, it's much, much easier just to say,

thấy đấy, nó dễ hơn rất rất nhiều để nói

are you having me on rather than

"are you having me on" hơn là

are you trying to persuade me something's true,

"are you trying to persuade me something's true,

when it actually isn't reality?

when it actually isn't reality?

(laughs)

(cười)

Do you know I've only had one coffee today

Em có biết hôm nay chị chỉ uống một cốc cà phê.

and it's like 5:00pm?

và nó lúc 5 giờ chiều

Also, for those of you who don't know,

Và cũng cho những bạn nào không biết

I spend a lot of my time on a farm,

Chị dành rất nhiều thời gian của mình trong một nông trại,

and I'm filming in a barn right now,

và chị ngay bây giờ đang ghi hình trong một chuồng ngựa.

and I think something's going on

và chị nghĩ vài thứ đang toát ra

with some sort of animal poo outside,

với một vài loại phân động vật bên ngoài,

and there are flies everywhere!

và ruồi chúng có khắp mọi nơi.

(laughs)

(cười)

So if you see any,

cho nên nếu bọn em có thấy bất kỳ...

it's not me, it's the farm.

Không phải tại chị, tại cái nông trại đó.

Now, the next one,

Bây giờ, cụm kế tiếp,

we're still talking about laughing and joking.

chúng ta vẫn đang nói về chuyện cười giỡn.

This one is a lovely one.

Cái này là một cái dễ thương đây

This one is to have the last laugh,

Cụm này là "to have the last laugh",

and this is such a satisfying feeling

và đây là một cảm xúc vô cùng thỏa mãn

to have the last laugh.

"to have the last laugh"

To have the last laugh

"to have the last laugh"

means to finally be more successful

nghĩa là cuối cùng thì cũng sẽ thành công hơn

than somebody else who was unpleasant to you.

những người mà chũng đã từng không tốt đối với bạn

So it means to finally be more successful

nó nghĩa là đến cuối cùng thì vẫn thành công hơn

than somebody else who was unpleasant to you.

hơn những đứa không đối xử tốt với bạn

I'll give you an example of this.

Chị sẽ cho các em một ví dụ nè

Anna, I've got English like a native on the brain.

"Anna, I've got English like a native on the brain"

Anna was bullied for being a nerd at school,

Anna đã bị ăn hiếp vì là một mọt sách tự kỷ ở trường.

but she had the last laugh

nhưng cô ấy đã có một cú phản đòn đáp trả

when she got the highest grades in the year.

khi cô ấy nhận được điểm cao nhất trong năm ấy

Obviously, these other people were nasty to Anna.

Dĩ nhiên, những thằng đó đã rất bực bội với Anna

This isn't true by the way, I've made it up.

Câu chuyện này không thật nhé, Chị chỉ bịa ra thôi

The other people were nasty to Anna,

Những người khác đã ác độc với Anna,

but she had the last laugh,

nhưng cô ấy đã có một cú trả đòn ngọt ngào,

because she got the highest grades in the school.

bởi vì cô ấy đạt điểm cao nhất trong trường.

She was more successful

Cô ấy đã thành công hơn

than those other people who were unpleasant to her.

những đữa đã không tốt đối với cô ta

Totally fake.

Tất cả giả hết

I'm sure she was very successful at school.

Chị chắc chắn cô ấy đã rất thành công ở trường

She's a very intelligent woman,

Cô ấy là một cô gái thông minh mà

but I've just,

I've made it up.

nhưng chị chỉ

Chị bịa ra nó thôi

Number four, to have a sweet tooth.

Số 4, "to have a sweet tooth"

Now I'd really like to know if this one

translates into your language at all,

because I can't remember if it is in Spanish.

I don't know if it translates.

Let me know,

obviously which language you speak,

and if it's the same in your language,

or if there's a slight variation,

but in English,

to have a sweet tooth means to be a big,

big fan of sweet foods.

So the person with the biggest sweet tooth

that I know is my grandma, my mom's mom.

She loves

sweet foods

and anything sugary.

You can see it in her face when she sees them.

She's really, really excited about it.

So yes, my lovely grandma has a sweet tooth.

But yeah, comment down below.

Let me know.

I love hearing about similarities between languages.

On one of my previous videos,

which I'll put up there in the card,

to hit two birds with one stone,

so many of you came back

and you told me so many different things,

and it turns out that it's a phrase

that is quite common in many different languages,

but with slight variations,

so thank you everyone who got involved in that.

Now number five,

this is a phrase that my mom

used to say to me when I was a child,

and I always knew that I had done something wrong.

This is to have a bone to pick with someone.

So to have a bone to pick with someone.

My mom always used to say, Lucy,

I have a bone to pick with you.

Oh no, if she's watching now,

she'll be laughing 'cause she knows

exactly how she says it.

Lucy, I have a bone to pick with you,

and basically,

when somebody has a bone to pick with someone,

it means that they have a problem or issue

that they want to discuss with that person.

So it would normally be

because I hadn't kept my bedroom tidy and organised.

This was a problem for my mom,

and she wanted to talk to me about it.

Lucy, I have a bone to pick with you.

It's quite a nice diplomatic way,

in my opinion,

to confront an issue with someone,

instead of saying,

I want to talk to you about a problem.

I have a bone to pick with you.

I think it's a bit nicer, but softer.

Now number six,

is it number six?

Yeah, it's number six.

Number six,

is something that I actually had myself

in 2015,

late 2015.

It is to have a change of heart,

and if you have a change of heart,

it means that you change your attitude,

or your opinion about something,

normally a long-standing opinion

or attitude about something.

Usually, it's a change

from a negative point to a positive one,

but it's all relative.

My change of heart

was that I thought I wanted to work in marketing.

My dream was actually to work in L'Oreal.

I really, really,

really, really wanted to work

in the marketing department of L'Oreal.

For some reason, I had it in my head,

but suddenly,

I had a change of heart.

I realised that I wanted to continue teaching,

and more than that,

I wanted to start teaching on YouTube.

I didn't think it was going to be a career,

but I definitely knew that this connection

I had with teaching,

and the connection with the English language,

was more important to me than a typical marketing career.

So I had this big change of heart.

I had worked for four years to achieve my degree.

All I thought about was marketing,

and suddenly my attitude changed.

I had a change of heart.

Number seven is to have a crack at something.

To have a crack at something.

To have a crack at something.

Distracted by the beautiful sounds of English.

So to have a crack at something is to try something,

or to try to do something,

or to have a turn at doing something.

So for example,

maybe there's a really hard,

I always struggle with this.

You know like a jar

of pasta sauce or gherkins?

I love gherkins,

pickles in America.

Especially the ones

from the Polish section in the supermarket.

They are better than the English gherkins.

Anyway, I digress.

The jar,

the lid is really, really tight,

and you always go and ask a man in the house to open it,

and they're trying,

and they're trying,

and then I think,

oh, let me have a crack at it.

Let me attempt.

It's my turn,

and I do it,

and sometimes,

sometimes I manage it.

But that's to have a crack at something.

It is to try and do something,

or to have a turn at trying to do something.

So you could use it in a situation like,

you know, would you mind taking my picture?

It's a common tourist situation,

and you can say,

I'll have a crack at it.

I'll give it a go.

I'll try.

So yes, that's a lovely phrase for you guys to use.

Now number eight,

number eight is a romantic one.

This is to have a crush on someone.

To have a crush on someone.

So if you have a crush on someone,

it means you fancy them.

You really quite like them,

in a romantic sort of way.

So I for a very, very long time,

had a crush on Chris Pratt.

I'm not sure if you know who he is.

He's a very, very funny American actor,

and when I saw him in Jurassic Park,

I had a,

I developed this huge, huge crush,

and to this day,

I have a crush on Chris Pratt.

Now crushes normally mean in English,

they're just that initial kind of ooh!

I like him, or I like her, or I like them kind of thing.

So yes.

I'm sure we all have crushes on people.

Now number nine is one

that's very relevant to you guys actually.

It is to have a good command of something.

To have a good command of something.

This means to know something well

or to be good at something.

So we really, really,

really frequently use it with languages.

So if I say I have a good command of Spanish,

it means I know Spanish well.

I am good at speaking Spanish.

I'm more than capable of conversing.

So if you guys are applying for a job,

or you want to update your CV,

you don't want to say,

I'm fluent in English,

but you know,

you want to say that you are good at it.

You can say,

I have a good command of the English language.

I have a good command of English.

Really nice one to use.

Now number 10 is slightly more old-fashioned,

but you can use it in quite formal situations.

This is to have a good mind to do something.

To have a good mind to do something.

It's ever so slightly threatening,

and it means to be tempted to do something.

So, for example,

if I heard that somebody was gossiping behind my back,

I might say,

I have a good mind to confront them,

as in I am tempted to confront them.

It doesn't mean that I'm going to do it,

but it means that the temptation is there.

So you might receive a piece of work

from your teacher or your university lecturer,

or your boss,

and they've returned it to you with a bad mark

or a bad review,

and you might say to your colleague or classmate,

I have a good mind to go a speak to them about it,

like I am tempted to.

It's kind of like,

I know I shouldn't, but I kind of want to.

Right guys.

Those are my 10 have expressions.

There are loads more.

I really, really enjoyed making this video.

I don't know if you can see

how much I'm enjoying filming today,

but I really, really am loving it!

But for some reason,

I really enjoyed making this video.

I think it's because I got to relate

a lot of the expressions back to me in my life.

I always like to do that.

So if you enjoyed it,

please comment down below.

Definitely say if there's a similarity with sweet tooth.

I'm just obsessed with hearing about similarities

between languages on opposite sides of the world.

Yeah, subscribe to my channel.
