Bath and Bathe: Learn English With Simple English Videos

I’m going to take a bath.

Vaig a "prendre un bany" (traducció literal).

Really?

De veritat?

Where are you going to take it?

On aniràs a agafar-la? (La Vicki està fent una broma amb les paraules)

This is our bath.

Aquesta és la nostra banyera.

Jay and I pronounce the word 'bath' a little differently.

En Jay i jo pronunciem la paraula "bath" una mica diferent.

Bath Bath

Baht Bath

Bath Bath

Baht Bath

It’s also called a bathtub or tub, especially in American English.

També se li diu "bathtub" o "tub", especialment en anglès americà.

Bath is a noun, a thing.

"Bath" és un nom, una cosa.

It’s not a verb, so we don’t bath ourselves.

No és un verb, així que no diem "bath ourselves" (banyera nosaltres)

In the past the word ‘bath’ was a verb too, but not so much now.

Antigament "bath" també era un verb, però ara ja no.

If we want to talk about the action of washing ourselves, we say 'have a bath' or 'take a

Si volem parlar sobre l'acció de rentar-nos, diem "have a bath" o "take a

bath'.

bath"

Have a bath is British English and take a bath is American.

"have a bath" és britànic i "take a bath" americà

Are you going to take a bath?

Que vas a "prendre un bany"? (traducció literal)

No, I’m going to leave it where it is.

No, el deixaré allà on és

That’s a terrible joke.

Quina broma més dolenta.

If we’re going to wash someone else in a bath, we might say we’ll bath or bathe them,

Si rentem algú altre en una banyera, diríem "we'll bath or bathe them"

but it sounds old fashioned.

però sona antiquat.

We generally say ‘give’.

Acostumem a dir "give".

We give babies a bath.

Banyem bebès

This is how we give our dog Carter a bath.

Així és com banyem el nostre gos Carter

We don’t use the tub.

No usem banyera

We give him a bath on the deck.

El banyem a terra

And there’s one more verb you might hear – to run a bath.

I hi ha un altre verb que potser escoltis -to run a bath

It means to fill it with water.

Vol dir omplir la banyera amb aigua.

I’m running a bath.

Estic omplint la banyera.

Now here’s where it gets tricky.

Ara ve quan la cosa es complica.

There's another word - bathe - and it’s a verb.

Hi ha una altra paraula -bathe- i és un verb.

It means swim somewhere, like in the sea or in a river.

Vol dir nedar en algun lloc, com el mar o un riu

And sunbathe.

I "sunbathe" (prendre el sol)

When people sunbathe they lie in the sun.

Quan la gent pren el sol, s'estiren al sol.

Notice the different pronunciation.

Fixa't en la pronúncia

Bath.

Bath

Bathe.

Bathe

Bathe is pronounced with a long ‘a’ sound and it’s an old fashioned word again.

"Bathe" es pronuncia amb una 'a' llarga, i és també una paraula antiquada.

It sounds very formal and we don’t use it much these days.

Sona molt formal i no la fem servir gaire avui en dia.

We normally say swim, have a swim or go swimming.

Normalment diem "swim" (nedar), "have a swim" o "go swimming"

We go sunbathing too.

També diem "go sunbathing" (anem a prendre el sol)

So here’s the key thing to remember.

Així doncs, recorda:

A bath is a thing.

"bath" és un nom (banyera)

When we talk about the action of washing ourselves, we use other verbs like have a bath or take a bath

Quan parlem de l'acció de rentar-nos, fem servir altres verbs com "have a bath" o "take a bath"

I’ve got a joke for you.

Tinc un acudit per a tu.
