- Saying “NO!” is a very simple way to refuse. However, native speakers of English say “no” in many different ways which you might not know yet. It’s important for you to learn all the ways in which we can say “no” in order to prevent misunderstandings. You should also learn to use these because in some situations, you need to use stronger language. I will teach you 25 ways to refuse in a strong and direct way. Depending on where you come from, this may not be usual in your home country or culture. But in English-speaking countries, being direct is very often the most appropriate behavior. You will learn expressions such as “No way, Jose”, “under no circumstance”, “out of the question”, “no chance”, “fat chance”, “not gonna happen”, and many more. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to say the simple and common word “no” with more variety than ever before. Take the quiz at www.engvid.com/25-ways-to-say...

TRANSCRIPT
Hi, everyone. This lesson is about strong ways to say NO. Lots of people are scared of that word, of saying no, so they want to know: "How can I say it politely? Or how can I not offend someone when I say: 'no'?" And this lesson is not about that; this lesson is how to say "no" when you really mean it, because sometimes we do need to say "no". It's an important word, and we need to say it so that people respect us when we say "no". So, I've got some different examples of situations where we might say "no", and different examples of language we can use.
So, the first example here is a situation where somebody asks for your number, and I'm imagining a situation where you don't want to give your number to that person, they're hassling you, you're not attracted to them, you don't like them, you definitely don't want to give them your number - here are some things people say.
First, a very common response is: "Sorry, I've got a boyfriend." And people might say that because they think: "If I say I've got a boyfriend, then that's why I can't give you my number. I would if I could, but I've already got a boyfriend, so that's why I can't give it to you." But in my opinion, this is not... this is not a strong enough no, so I'm going to cross that one out. Whether it's true or not, you've got a boyfriend or you haven't got a boyfriend, if you don't want to give that person your number, use something a bit stronger and don't worry about hurting their feelings in this situation, if they're hassling you.
So, you could be more blunt. "Blunt" is another way of saying more direct. You can say: "I'm not interested." Or you could say: "Not gonna happen. No. Not gonna happen." This is... This is not standard English; this is slang - the way we would actually say it. We wouldn't say: "Not going to happen", because it's not as... It's not as fierce, so we shorten it to say: "Not gonna happen."
Or you could say: "Not in a million years." This is so impossible and so unlikely for you to ask for my number, the only thing I can say is: "Not in a million years." You can keep asking me again, and again, and again for a million years, and the answer is going to be: "No".
You could say: "No chance. No chance", and that means: You have no chance with me; no chance. No chance.
If the... If the person who wants your number is coming on really strong, like they won't go away; a lot of hassle, you can then say: "How many times do I have to tell you?!" You're getting more serious, you're saying it more like you mean it now, because you want this person to leave you alone.
A similar... A similar kind of strength of "no" for that situation is to say: "What part of 'no' don't you understand? I've said 'no' to you already; this is the final straw. You're really getting on my nerves now. What part of 'no' don't you understand?" This makes you... This is like suggesting the other person is a bit stupid as well. "Don't you understand 'no'?"
And the last two, imagine if that person is really hassling you: "Leave me alone!" or "Go away!" Now, it is a little bit hard in the sense that when we... When we do get more direct and aggressive, we have to be careful in a sense as well, because with some people this will... This will work when you shout at them, like: "Leave me alone! Go away!" If you're... If the way you say it is so strong and there's a lot of power in your words, it can scare a lot of people off; they go. But some people react to aggression and the way you... The way you say things. So, if you shouted at them: "Leave me alone!" they might be like: "What's your problem?" or something like that, so you always have to judge in the situation: Is it safe to use aggression with this person? It's safe to say: "No", but you have to decide how strong you can be. […]
Thanks teacher! 🤗❤️ In France 🇫🇷 , they have some identical expressions: 1) Même pas en rêves (not even in dreams!) 😒 2) La semaine des 4 jeudis (when a week will have 4 Thursdays inside it 😅 3) Quand les poules auront des dents (When chickens 🐓 will have teeth 🦷) 😂 4) Je ne suis pas né de la dernière pluie 🌧 ☔️ (I’m not born from the last rain = I’m not born yesterday!)😉 Hi from Vietnam 🤗🇻🇳
Hi, Jade! Glad to see and hear you again. Your British English accent is always a good practice for me. And you are a very good teacher. With love from Russia. Ch.
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot! Lots of greetings from Cusco Peru
Manolin Hola Emperor! 😉 🇵🇪
Here’s a good one: “bug off”. Also, if all you want is to not give your phone number to someone, just say “no”. Alternatively, just give him a wrong number, then smile and wave. It will work.
Great to learn from you
Thank you so much 🙏
Now, I feel so happy to see your energy Jade. I wish to have more more in future. Love you!
I'm absolutely chuffed to bits! Always perfect job. ❤️❤️❤️

It's been a long time since you have posted a New vidéo
Thank you jade for your effort
I got another one I learned when I was in an English institute, this is "NOT FOR ALL THE TEA IN CHINA" idk if that's kinda old or outdated nowadays cuz i learned when I was 21 or 22 yo and now I'm about to turn 34
How about "FOOK RIGHT ORFF MATE!"
Thought of something like that, too. Just a short sentence with the good ole f word in it, that should work like a charm. ;-)
Nice to learn thanks
There are many many teachers on youtube, internet etc. but as teacher you seem to be very nice, cute and closest as mental to me... If you tell me until morning I can listen it :)
💓💓
Hi Jade, I know that my question quite not for this lesson, but could you please say what difference between 'he is a friend of mine' and 'he is my friend'? I will appreciate your help :)
I'm not a native speaker, but to me the second one feels more personal, saying he is MY friend, we are good mates; whereas the first one sounds more casual, like he's a friend of mine, but we're not very close. Hope that helps.
Diego Muñoz Thank you 😃
I love you ❤
Hello...I from Iraq🙂❤

I need arabic sous -titre . JADE
Does " Not even in dream" exist ?
"How can I say no so that I don't offend someone?"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Guess what..... sister in law wanted to see us on a day, that we couldn't make as we was doing something else....bearing in mind she hasn't wanted to see us in 10 months...we have tried but sometimes she doesn't even reply back.... anyway when I said no sorry because we are doing something.....she didn't like it and went running to tell her mum... SIL is 61 years old, pathetic... She never suggested another date.... She expects us to see her when she clicks her fingers.... she's one of these people who think she's always busy and no one else isn't.... well too bad. Stand your ground everyone...these people are awful...
In Italy we say : "if you lend money to a friend, you'll lose both money and friend"...🙄

Wau! Aria Stark? Really? You joking...
So, what is it to have a chance with you?
Mmm so yummy!~
Sorry, You are quit fierce when you refuse giving numbers to a stranger.
You are serious, but you seemed to be funny to act.
It is a great lesson to learn speaking. Thanks.
Like anyone’s gonna use “can I have your number”
Arizona is hot
Sometimes, this lady chooses slightly strange topics. Does anyone think so? And the way she explains things and gives examples is unusual too.
Don't get me wrong, I love the videos though. She is absolutely unique!
"No".
You are very very beautiful, Jade!
I'd bet Jade lost half of her male students after this lesson ;)
HOW ABOUT SIMPLY SAY "I SAID NO PERIOD!!!"
Yep, that would be great! Unfortunately it turns out that many guys don't have enough with a "no", they simply ignore it and continue to consider you his prey, so you have to use more contundent expressions (and also non-verbal language). Until they give up and leave you alone. That's why this lesson is really really useful, and Jade knows it.
This should be named how to say no 'impolitely' not strongly.
Hello jade can i have your IG ?
No is way better than leave me alone nd go away...
Her accent?
British estuary accent
lol
No way! PUNK!
Hi l am from palestine
"What part of no don't you understand? I want a man, not a boy who thinks he can!"
IS THAT A FEMINISM VIDEO ?
The Atito 😂😂😂👍
😂😂😂
so you can say "You are my problem!" Then you pull out your gun and say to them "Do you want me to solve the problem?" :)
Can I ask your cell phone?
H. J Teacher Jade will surely say: “Not even in a million years!!!” 😂😂😂
