L.O.V.E, Love!
1
2960
3820
00:07
so today we need to do some really important expressions
2
7000
3420
00:10
about love, dating, and relationships
3
10420
2400
00:20
you're out with your friend having a drink
4
20820
2600
00:23
You're single. No boyfriend no girlfriend no nothing!
5
23420
3100
00:26
But your friend has a friend
6
26920
2680
00:30
and she thinks that her friend and you would be a really good couple
7
30280
4400
00:34
so she wants to introduce you
8
34680
3720
00:40
that's my friend you should date her you'd be a great couple
9
40080
3500
00:43
this situation the expression the phrasal verb is called to "set up"
10
43580
5840
00:50
How do we use this in a sentence?
11
50220
2520
00:53
she did the introduction
12
53660
2420
00:56
so she set them up
13
56080
3280
00:59
or we could say
14
59360
2040
01:03
she set him up with her
15
63000
2120
01:05
Just remember it means she introduced them
16
65420
2920
01:08
because she thinks they're gonna fall in love
17
68340
3220
01:12
So they meet, they have very good chemistry from the start
18
72940
4280
01:17
"Oh my god you're like so hot!"
19
77220
2700
01:19
"Well I think you're rather beautiful too!"
20
79920
3020
01:22
so when that happens
21
82940
1900
01:24
from the start they're very good together they have very good chemistry
22
84840
3660
01:28
they're talking everything is great
23
88500
2640
01:31
for this we say...
24
91140
2480
01:34
"They're getting on well" it's fine
25
94660
2220
01:36
but there's a better one...
26
96880
1900
01:39
they're "hitting it off"
27
99640
1340
01:40
they basically mean the same thing
28
100980
2360
01:43
they have good chemistry together
29
103340
2120
01:45
when they're talking it's all good it flows everything is just :)
30
105460
4860
01:50
and let's talk about this
31
110860
2420
01:53
When they are giving each other compliments, when they're talking
32
113280
3920
01:57
"So do you have a boyfriend or a... whatever?"
33
117200
3040
02:00
"Oh my god no I'm SO single! That's so random! You're funny!
34
120420
5340
02:05
when that happens they are "flirting"
35
125900
3500
02:11
"Flirt" is the verb. Pronunciation /flɜːt/
36
131000
3400
02:14
it's that annoying /ɜː/ sound
37
134620
2200
02:16
/flɜːt/
38
136820
1200
02:18
in a sentence
39
138020
1440
02:21
"They're flirting"
40
141300
1340
02:22
for most of these expressions
41
142940
1980
02:24
we'll use present continuous of course you can use future, past simple, whatever
42
144920
6780
02:31
but for this story we'll use present continuous. Just because
43
151700
5260
02:37
So they're flirting, they're hitting it off, everything is perfect, right?
44
157200
4480
02:41
Well not really for her
45
161680
2840
02:44
I mean she's alone and her two friends are together
46
164520
4520
02:50
she's alone she's bored
47
170340
1820
02:53
When this happens, when you're as a three
48
173860
3040
02:56
but you're alone and the other two are a couple
49
176900
3460
03:00
you unfortunately are
50
180640
3040
03:04
you're the "third wheel", that's a noun
51
184100
2620
03:08
she is the third wheel
52
188040
1900
03:09
she came with two friends but they're now a couple so she's alone
53
189940
3900
03:13
she's the third wheel
54
193840
2000
03:15
especially bad when this happens
55
195840
3340
03:20
maybe after a few more drinks this starts to happen
56
200940
3520
03:24
when they start kissing but a lot
57
204460
3020
03:27
when that happens when you want to say "they are kissing a lot" you say this...
58
207700
5520
03:34
"They're making out" nice and easy
59
214740
2040
03:36
remember we're using that present continuous tense
60
216780
3620
03:40
because we're telling a story it's happening now
61
220400
2200
03:42
...in our heads
62
222600
1420
03:44
so tonight, for the third wheel, for the friend
63
224440
2820
03:47
it's not looking great
64
227260
2380
03:49
but then...
65
229640
1520
03:52
but then a mysterious stranger enters...
66
232200
5120
03:57
when you look at someone, or when someone looks at you with that look
67
237920
3380
04:02
in this situation
68
242220
1940
04:05
he is "giving her the eye". AND...
69
245300
4140
04:09
She is doing the same
70
249440
1780
04:11
you can also say...
71
251220
1820
04:13
"to make eyes at someone"
72
253560
2140
04:15
So in a sentence
73
255700
2220
04:17
"she's making eyes at him" "he's making eyes at her"
74
257920
3380
04:21
instant attraction
75
261300
1500
04:22
what happens next?
76
262800
1720
04:27
instantly they hit it off
77
267340
1460
04:28
they get on well together
78
268800
2020
04:30
so they love each other they get matching tattoos
79
270820
3800
04:34
when you want to say you're official in a relationship
80
274620
3760
04:39
you would say you "get together"
81
279180
2300
04:41
this one we won't use in continuous
82
281480
3800
04:45
the moment it happens it's already past so they "got together"
83
285640
5040
04:50
so this means they're kind of official they're together they're a couple
84
290680
4780
04:55
there's another way which is more casual
85
295460
4380
05:01
we can say "they are seeing each other"
86
301140
2940
05:04
maybe it's serious maybe it's not
87
304080
2820
05:06
but it is generally seen as a casual relationship
88
306900
5740
05:13
for example if someone asks you
89
313220
2507
05:15
"Are you single married what's your relationship situation?"
90
315727
4853
05:20
You want to say
91
320580
980
05:21
"well I have a have a human and we occasionally get together and it's romantic"
92
321560
5660
05:27
you can say "I'm seeing someone"
93
327220
2660
05:29
it could be a boyfriend or girlfriend but generally again it's seen as more casual
94
329880
7260
05:37
after you get together there are generally two directions in which that relationship will go
95
337140
8100
05:46
for this couple, everything is perfect
96
346500
2620
05:49
they are so in love
97
349120
1840
05:50
They're crazy stupid in love
98
350960
3100
05:55
they are loved up
99
355860
1640
05:57
most commonly however we would say "they are all loved up"
100
357500
3680
06:01
Why? I don't know why
101
361180
2540
06:03
"Yeah I have two friends they're all loved up. Woo. Great. good for you"
102
363720
5700
06:10
Also you know when couples do that baby talk and it's like
103
370840
3640
06:14
"Oh my god I wuv you!"
104
374480
1980
06:16
"I wuv you too"
105
376460
2160
06:18
when they are too affectionate and it's annoying
106
378620
4180
06:22
that is what you call...
107
382800
2100
06:25
Lovey-dovey they are being lovey-dovey.
108
385760
3700
06:29
Again commonly we use the word all before that
109
389460
4620
06:34
"They're being all lovey-dovey again talking like babies.
110
394080
4100
06:38
I hate them"
111
398180
800
06:39
that's a good way that the relationship could go
112
399260
2980
06:42
however it could go bad
113
402240
2460
06:45
when a couple is arguing when they're fighting
114
405640
3120
06:48
this is what we call...
115
408760
2080
06:50
"have a tiff"
116
410840
1480
06:52
a "tiff" is an argument that couples have
117
412320
3920
06:56
so that's a noun
118
416700
1700
06:58
so we need that verb "have"
119
418400
2240
07:01
"They're having another tiff. terrible. they should...
120
421540
6400
07:07
...break up"
121
427940
1180
07:09
When a relationship ends, you "break up"
122
429120
2960
07:12
Other ways we can say "break up" are...
123
432080
2920
07:15
split up, separate, or part
124
435940
2540
07:18
some are more common than others. Let's have a look
125
438480
3320
07:21
"parted" we almost never say that
126
441800
2640
07:24
maybe sometimes you'll hear it but don't say it
127
444440
4860
07:29
it's too old-fashioned it's too formal
128
449300
2380
07:31
next once "separated" it's more formal
129
451680
2460
07:34
so maybe for a marriage
130
454140
2340
07:36
some more serious relationship
131
456480
2900
07:39
then you might want to say...
132
459840
2540
07:44
"we separated last year"
133
464240
2060
07:46
so that wouldn't be for a casual relationship, no
134
466300
3960
07:50
that is for something more serious a bit more formal
135
470260
3240
07:53
split up, break up
136
473560
2300
07:55
they mean the same thing
137
475860
2240
07:58
"break up" is more common to use
138
478100
3500
08:02
mmm so use that one
139
482040
1680
08:04
So now you have the expressions it's time to practice them
140
484160
3120
08:07
tell me in the comments your relationship stories
141
487280
3320
08:10
have you ever been set up?
142
490600
1820
08:12
have you ever made eyes at someone?
143
492420
3320
08:15
have you ever been the third wheel
144
495740
2100
08:17
where your friends are just making out and you're standing there like a lemon?
145
497840
4260
08:22
boooooo!
146
502400
