Hey guys and welcome back to love English I'm Sabrah so today I have a
little bit of a different lesson for you I have a lesson on phrasal verbs but
these phrasal verbs are a little bit sexy they are related to dating and
relationships however they are not rude they may be a
little bit naughty sometimes but they are very common and very useful now
before we get started I'd like to say hello in some of your languages thank
you so much guys for writing to me and telling me how to say hello in your
languages I'm learning lots of new languages it's great so I'm going to
first try and say hello in Vietnamese okay let me try Xin Chao so hello
to Vietnam to India I have to say namaste
Namaskar Namaskar oh I think these are some Indian greetings I know India is
very big so you have different greetings and last of all I'd like to say hello to
Turkey Merhaba if I haven't said hello yet in your language guys please remind me
and in the next video I will try to
hmm now as this lessons a little bit dating themed as you can see I've got a
glass of rose why don't you guys grab a refreshing drink to sip as we go
through these phrasal verbs Cheers right number one now imagine that you're out
in a bar or you're in a public place and you see somebody that you think is
attractive the natural thing to do is to look at them and to look at them in a
way that shows that you're interested in them they may not know this or they may
notice you doing this but the verb to describe this action is called to check
someone out to check someone out so for example you could say oh check out that
guy he looks nice so to check someone out to look at someone that you find
attractive now sometimes they don't know that you've looked at them however
sometimes people want the person to notice them checking them out so that
they can respond and see that the person is interested so to check someone out
now an important point to make guys is that it's not staring you should not be
staring at somebody that it's not appropriate it is just looking at them
and perhaps then telling your friends that you think they're attractive or
it's looking at them and hoping to catch their eye because you think they're
good-looking and you would like them to notice you phrasal verb number two to
hit it off now imagine that you start chatting to a person you've just met so
perhaps you've met them at college or you might have met them at work or you
might have met them in a club or in a bar and you're getting on very very well
you're really enjoying each other's company
you're laughing things are going great in this case you can say that you've hit
it off you've hit it off so this means that you've clicked you feel very
comfortable with each other and you might feel a connection we could also
say that you have a spark between you if you hit it off
romantically there isn't a spark if you hit it off with a colleague hit it off
as a general phrasal verb so it can be used for friends
colleagues or it can be used romantically so it's quite a general
phrasal verb meaning to get on well with somebody to quickly understand that you
can have a easy relationship with them and that you're going to be friends or
perhaps more so do you come here often i think I recognise you
I've seen you around here before maybe we've met before so what's good to drink
around here do you recognize what these are guys?
these are called chat up lines and we can also use this as a phrasal verb to
chat someone up to chat someone up and this is where you're trying to start a
conversation with somebody that you're interested in romantically
you don't chat up a friend it's something you do when you want to start
a conversation with somebody that you don't know that you're attracted to
now sometimes chat up lines can be very cheesy you should know what the word
cheesy means guys if you've watched my 20 conversational English phrases which
if you haven't watched you can watch just up there so the word cheesy means
that you find it too much it could make you feel a bit Oh a bit sick or too too
much so sometimes chat up lines can be very cheesy for example a very classic
cheesy chat up line is did it hurt when you fell from heaven because you're an
angel...oh so bad another cheesy one is I think I need to
see a doctor after seeing you there's something wrong with my heart
some of these are really awful guys and normally girls don't like them it's
important to point out that in the UK guys tend to chat up girls more than the
other way around but it isn't always the case sometimes girls will chat up guys
but they wouldn't normally use a chat up line in fact most people in the UK don't
use chat up lines thank goodness number 4 to hit on someone no it is
definitely not to hit them English is not usually that literal when it comes
to phrasal verbs so to hit on somebody means to show someone physically that
you are interested in them romantically and that you
something more than that so it's a physical thing if you hit on them you
try to kiss them you try to touch them you do something to show that you are
physically interested in them now sometimes people don't like it if you
hit on somebody and the other person isn't interested it can make them feel
very very uncomfortable so to hit on somebody is only okay if the person
understands that the other person is interested so sometimes people can hit
on another person and it become uncomfortable or unpleasant so it has a
little bit of a negative connotation a little bit of a negative association
because if the other person isn't interested it's not very nice so
something clever so it's important to read the signals and to know if they
like you normally it is also guys that hit on girls
but again it's not always the case it can also happen the other way around but
it's more common in the UK that a guy hits on a girl it's quite an American
expression and in American movies you'll often hear the phrase are you hitting on
me ? it wouldn't be a sexy phrasal verbs video without a bit of romantic lighting
is this doing anything? I didn't think so so guys this is a very famous phrasal
verb because lots of songs lots of pop songs have made this very famous and it
it is to get it on to get it on this is really a three part phrasal verb with it
in the middle so to get it on means to what should we say have a little bit of
fun a little bit more than kissing shall we say in Britain we might even call it
a little bit of hanky-panky if you haven't heard that expression before
then you should watch later our funny British sex expressions video which is
just up there it's been very very popular hanky panky just means well sex
to get it on means just that number six to stand someone up now to stand someone
up means to arrange to have a date with them or to meet them for coffee or
something romantic you can also use it sometimes for arrangements with friends
but it's much more common for dating so the person gets ready for their date
they arrive at the restaurant or the bar and they sit there waiting for the other
person thinking oh they're five minutes late
or they're 10 minutes late or they're 15 minutes late half an hour late and after
that they realize they're not coming it's a horrible thing to happen guys and
it's when the other person doesn't tell you that they're not coming to the date
for whatever reason they let you go but they never arrive so it's a horrible
thing to happen to you so guys or girls if you're thinking
about doing that then don't do it text the person let them know you can't
make it it's the polite thing to do guys while we're doing the more negative
phrasal verbs the next one is also negative so number seven is to cheat on
someone to cheat on someone now this is when you're in a relationship and you're
supposed to be faithful to each other so you are not supposed to have
anything with another man or woman or another girl a boy but one of you is
very naughty and you go and kiss or do more with someone else behind the other
person's back so normally the other person doesn't know about this and they
find out later or perhaps sometimes they don't find out but whatever it is all
called to cheat on someone to cheat on someone
so it's basically where you are unfaithful in a relationship however if
it's referring to marriage marriage the phrase changes and we actually use the
phrase to have an affair to have an affair so for example if you're married
and then one of you has a relationship with another man or woman behind the
other's back then they are having an affair
again horrible thing to do don't do these things guys be nice to each other
you had sex with another woman oh my god nobody likes change should we do something yeah
never cheat on Rachel so examples of this in a sentence would be the neighbor
cheated on his girlfriend so the pronunciation here guys is cheat to
cheat just like what you do in a game if you're not playing by the rules you can
cheat but remember we need the preposition so it's cheat on someone
number 8 guys number 8 is a little bit more of a naughty one but I'm going to
explain it in a very polite way it is to turn someone on or to be turned on and
this means that you you feel attracted to the person and you feel in the mood
for more than kissing shall we say or maybe just kissing it depends on your
culture so to be turned on so an example of this in a sentence would be six packs
really turn me on six packs turn me on this means that you
feel attracted to six packs they put you in the mood is it me or is it getting a
bit warm now? there is actually an opposite for this you can be turned off
by something so something can make you feel not
attracted to the person and not in the mood at all for example imagine you're
having a lovely romantic meal music is playing you're looking into each other's
eyes everything is perfect you really want to lean across the table and
kiss them and then they burp oh this is an example of being turned off in that
moment the other person would probably feel turned off so not in the mood
anymore not like kissing them and definitely not
feeling romantic so to be turned off you can say things like oh when people have
food in their teeth it turns me off or if a person has bad breath it turns me
off so you can say the things that you don't like and you find unattractive
guys if you feel brave enough then please share any funny dating stories
you have below in the comments try and use the vocabulary if you want to if you
don't want to share a story just try and use any of these phrasal verbs in a
practice sentence this dress or this dress? Can you guess what this is guys
this is to get dressed up so number 9 to get dressed up so this means to put your
best clothes on to look nice and attractive for the date so if you're a
guy you'll probably want to wear a shirt or a jacket and girls might wear a dress
or they might choose to wear a nice top and a pair of jeans or something like
that again this is very dependent on culture but I think it's something
universal that we all would get dressed up to go and meet somebody that we would
like to impress you can also just say to dress up so for example you can say oh
I'm dressing up tonight I'm going to wear a nice dress to the party I'm
dressing up however there is a second meaning to dress up it can also mean to
wear a fancy dress costume now a fancy dress costume is something where you
would change into a different character or dress according to a theme for
example the 1970s or the great gatsby things like that so a great example of
this is Halloween during Halloween lots of
people like to dress up as ghosts or witches or vampires and we would call
this dressing up right number 10 last one to hook up now to hook up can mean
to meet somebody so to make an arrangement to meet someone so you could
for example say oh I really want to see you again
let's let's hook up soon normally it's used in romantic occasions but not
always it can be used for friends as well much more common in romantic
situations though so it means to arrange a meeting to meet up to hook up however
there is a second meaning the second meaning is well should we say it's
to get it on you should know what that means guys so you have to be very
careful with how you use this phrasal verb because if you say I hooked up with
this guy I've been dating a person can either think that you went on a date
with them or they might think that you got it on with them so that you had
let's say a bit of fun so it depends on the contact and how you say it and if my
friend said to me oh we hooked up I would probably understand by her tone
of voice and her facial expression what she meant watch out for this expression
in movies guys or in songs rap music things like that and you'll start to
understand how it is used guys thank you for watching we've come to the end of
