    Wow, I learned so much today, and in only 8 minutes. Ok, I watched it twice, so it's 16 min. The only one I already knew was "spill the beans", except for story behind it. BTW, the stories behind each idiom help me remember their meanings. I think that's why Jesus used parables to teach. We all love a good story. You guys can teach and entertain at the same time. I wish every teacher in the world was like you. Love you!!! 🇧🇷

    When I was a little baby I had a silver spoon (and fork) for my meal. Yesss, my family had those fancy traditions.
    *Idiom* then is an old sentence used for some specific situation.
    In Spanish it would be *refrán* or *dicho* it's funny 'cause Idiom in English sounds like to _idioma,_ what means language.
    We use to say here in Chile when we feel very hungry *I would eat a horse* , a Gringo friend of mine Jeff told me they say same idiom in the United States. Hahaha.
    When you have work until midnight we use to say _I borned my eye lashes,_ similar perhups to English and thinking in a candle on the table when electricity not available.
    Thank you so much for the way ytou both teach, very histrionic and full of love.
    🥰🇨🇱

      Yes Ahmed. This is Jay writing back to you. We are hearing that from a lot of our viewers. As humans, I suspect we have much more in common than we have differences.

    The Portuguese for behaving in a snobbish way or attempting to be superior toward others is “getting on the high heels”. Fantastic video!

    @brunoletourneur69 3 года назад +9

    Funny how the same expression has a complete different meaning in another language : getting on his high horse is literally "monter sur ses grand chevaux" in French but means getting easily angry and not feeling superior.

    • @SimpleEnglishVideos
      @SimpleEnglishVideos  3 года назад +1

      That's so interesting, Bruno. Thank you for sharing the way the same phrase in French has a different meaning than it does in English. And thanks for watching.

    Amazing video ....in Iraq also we say (born with a silver spoon in his mouth) and (be on / get off your high horse) with the same meaning

    I always wonder how do English people remember all of these! Its very hard actually .... Its very skillful

    • @SimpleEnglishVideos
      @SimpleEnglishVideos  3 года назад

      Aryan, when these idioms become part of the language, we just hear them used in context all the time, so native speakers don't have to remember them. But we hoped giving you the stories behind each of them might help you to remember :-) Thanks for watching.

  • @alexrafe2590
    @alexrafe2590 3 года назад +2

    You made me realise that even after living in England 24 years, I’ve still been misinterpreting the meaning of ‘putting your best foot forward.’ I didn’t know the British meaning until now.

    • @SimpleEnglishVideos
      @SimpleEnglishVideos  3 года назад

      Ales, this Jay writing back to you. I didn't know that meaning either until Vicki explained it. :-)

    Do not be on your high horse / Get off your high horse = ලොකු වංශයෙන් spill the beans = කට වහගන ඉන්නෙ නෑ කියා හළනවා She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. ‌ධනවත් පවුලක ඉපදී

    Hands down, being born with a silver spoon in your mouth will always provide you with higher chances to succeed than if your father is a coal miner, curiously enough. 😁😁 (BTW, I am a coal miner's daughter)

    • @SimpleEnglishVideos
      @SimpleEnglishVideos  3 года назад +1

      Hi Mel. I think what you say might well be true, BUT we all have the power within us to succeed and to overcome obstacles. We need only the opportunity to exercise that power.
