Oooh...I don't really get a very good
vibe about this place. I also don't
get a good vibe about you....or you...
What does this mean? Let's take a look!
Ok, hello, welcome back to Easy
English with James, and today we've got a really short common
expression to look at. The expression is, to
get a good or bad vibe from something.
Ok, to get a good or bad vibe
from something. I'm gonna try and explain this as
simply as I can today, it is a really common expression.
Basically if we take the word "vibe", which
comes from the word "vibration", "vibration"
and we take that and change it to mean,
"feeling", "feeling". OK.
You might go into a restaurant and this restaurant
is a little bit dark or cold and
everyone of the people who work in this restaurant is looking at you like...
this, then you might say...
to your friends or family..."I don't get
a very vibe in here" or "I'm not
getting a very good vibe in this place. let's go!"
"Let's leave, right away!" Ok. You might be walking
around your neighborhood and you decide to
walk down a different street, and on that street you
see some "not so nice looking people" some
"bad" looking people and everybody's looking at you and it's very quiet
and dark. You might say, "Ok, I'm not getting a
very good vibe here, I think I should leave,
I should go" ok. You might go on a date
with a beautiful woman or a handsome man
and you're sitting there, looking at your potential partner
across the table, and you just feel something
is not right. She looks like she's gonna kill you in a minute or
he looks like he's so bored and he wants to go home. You might
think to yourself, "I'm not getting a good vibe from
this person". "I'm not getting a good vibe from this
person". Ok. So we can use this in any situation
where we are not getting a good feeling
about a place or a person or sometimes a
thing. Ok. So vibe
as we said before, comes from 'vibration'. The reason
we change this to mean feeling is because sometimes
you can go into a place and you can sort of feel
the 'energy' in that room, the energy, and
energy, for all the scientists out there, at it's most basic
is 'vibration'. Ok. We can
also use this with 'positive vibes'. ok. We could
say something like, "I went to a
party last night and I got good vibes from everybody in there
because it was just such a friendly party, everybody wanted to talk to
everybody, everybody was open and honest and smiling
"There were such good vibes at this party last night" Ok
Again, positive or negative, we can use it with both
It is an expression, and it means to feel
something good or bad about a person or an
environment. Ok. See if you can think of a sentence
with this expression and write it in the comments below!
OK. Thank you very much for joining us and I will see you again soon
