Hello all, thanks for clicking,
I am Niharika and in today's lesson we are gonna look at some expressions using the word
heart, Well the most important muscular organ , right? it's the heart, but people always
think that okay using the word heart is always related to love and romance , but not necessary
. So, when learning English there are many expressions with the word heart which are
not related to love and romance only. So, that's what we are gonna learn in today's
lesson, we are gonna look at these 06 expressions and learn how to use them. So, let's get started
the first one is ' In a heart beat' now to do something in a heart beat , it means to
do something very quick , like instantly. Now, if you have to use this in your conversation,
how would you do that? Well, by example - If I get a better pay, I will leave this job
in a heart beat. So, it means that If I get a better job and you know they pay me well,
then it's not gonna take time for me to quit this job, I am instantly gonna quit my job
and take the new one. So, I will leave the job in a heart beat, okay so instantly, very
quick. The next one "Heart of stone' now someone who has a heart of stone is a very cold person,
okay now here cold person doesn't mean someone who is feeling cold, okay. Cold person means
someone who is has no heart, like someone who is so mean, so rude doesn't have any sympathy,
can never ever empathize with anybody so that person has a heart of stone. So someone who
is very mean, no pity , no sympathy, cannot empathize with anybody, that person has a
heart of a stone like my neighbour, you know a dog dies in front of him, he would not even
care because he has a heart of a stone , he doesn't bother, he is a very cold person,
okay so that's how you can use this phrase. The third one "Pour one's heart out' have
you heard this before, well to pour one's heart out, it means to share or to express
your feelings, now not necessary that it has to be feelings with love and romance , it
can be anything maybe you are depressed and you know you share something with someone
that you trust, so it means you pour you heart out like I had a fight with a friend of mine
and I was extremely upset and very depressed so I shared my feelings with my Mom, so it
means I poured my heart out to her, because I was very depressed, So it means to share
your feelings. So any kind of feelings, your emotions, your feelings, your are upset, you
are angry , so when you share it with someone, you pour your heart out. The next one 'From
the bottom of one's heart' okay, now from the bottom of one's heart, it means you know
whatever you say from the bottom of your heart, it means you are just telling the truth, your
feelings, your emotions are so pure. So like I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart
or I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. So it means that whatever you
are saying is so pure and is the fact, it's the truth, so for example It's more like , you
can say it's more like an exaggerated statement like - From the bottom of my heart , I really
want to thank you. It's just too much , but yes it's okay to use it, maybe the other person
would be very impressed and would feel for you. So go ahead and use this, okay. The next
one 'Heart skips' or 'Misses a beat' now, when does your heart skips or misses a beat,
either it skips a beat or misses a beat , okay you can use any of the two words, now it happens
when you have this sudden fear or excitement , probably you have a crush on someone , maybe
you like a girl and you just saw her, so the moment you see her you get so nervous, you
feel those butterflies in your stomach and you feel that you know the nervousness so
your heart skips a beat , so the moment you see this girl your heart misses a beat or
skips a beat. So, it's a sudden fear or excitement, now if someone scares you, okay probably you
enter a dark room the moment you switch on the light of the room and you spot a cockroach
. Uhhh! you get scared , now that's fear and the moment you see the cockroach especially
girls who scream on top of their lungs, they are scared , so they miss their heart beat
alright. I just skipped my heart beat, okay or my heart just misses a beat, you could
use it either ways, so use it. And then the last one is young at heart, now we use this
expression for someone who is quite old maybe someone who is you can say 50 plus and still
behaves or acts pretty young and likes things that young people do , so for example - My
uncle , though he is 65 years old, but he is so young at heart because he does whatever
we do , he just behaves like any young guy. So he is very young at heart, so young at
heart is a perfect expression for someone who is old but behaves or likes to do things
that young people do. So these are the 6 expressions , they are very simple , you can use them
in your daily conversations but do use them , the more you practice you gonna be much
more better when you speak English, right? So go ahead use them hope it's useful to you
and I will be back with a new lesson, till then you take care, Good bye..
