Neil: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.
I'm Neil.
Feifei: Hello, I'm Feifei. All well, Neil?
Neil: Not great, Feifei.
Feifei: What's up?
Neil: I'm just so done with writing this report.
Feifei: You're done with it? You've finished?
Neil: I wish. The opposite. Lots more to do.
Feifei: So you're not done yet?
Neil: No, sadly. If you say you're 'so done with'
something - it means you are irritated and bored by it!
It's often a task that you don't want to do.
Feifei: Indeed. For example, I could say:
"I'm so done with recording with Neil."
Neil: Well, you could say it, Feifei. But it wouldn't be true!
Feifei: Of course it's not true. Let's hear some examples.
Examples : I need a new job. I'm so done with
delivering pizza.
I need to get to bed earlier. I'm so done with
feeling like a zombie every day.
I'm so done with learning Hungarian.
The grammar is so hard!
Feifei: So Neil, do you need some help with the report?
Neil: That's kind. I just need to sit down, focus,
and write the thing. It's just boring.
Feifei: If you like, we can swap. I'm making an incredibly
dull spreadsheet right now.
Neil: Wow. Sounds great.
Feifei: I'm so done with it.
Neil: Tell you what. Let's work hard all afternoon
and then treat ourselves to dinner.
Feifei: Done! Which means, of course, that I agree
to your suggestion.
Neil: Perfect. Bye for now.
Feifei: See you later!
