Hi everybody.
I'm Esther and in this video we are going to talk about an important idiom 'hit on'.
Now, hit on doesn't mean to hit.
Right?
Hit means you punch someone or you use your hand to hurt someone.
So, that's not what it means.
'hit on' means well when a guy maybe likes a girl
he sees someone and he thinks that girl is cute.
He wants to know her better.
He wants to know her more.
So, he might go to her and ask for her phone number.
Try to talk to her.
That's hitting on.
That's hit on.
Right?
He's hitting on her.
Okay?
So ah... yes a girl can hit on a guy as well.
Um… usually but it's usually the guy that hits on the girl.
So, let's look at these examples.
He hit on her.
Again this means, he went to the girl and try to talk to her and know her better.
So, maybe they can be a couple later or have a relationship.
Again, he hit on her.
The next sentence says she got hit on.
She got hit on.
This is not the same as this sentence.
Right?
She didn't hit on someone.
She got hit on which means that somebody hit on her.
So, don't get that confused.
That's a good some more example sentences together.
Okay?
Let's look at these examples.
She always gets hit on at the bar.
Many guys hit on me.
I saw a man hit on a pretty girl.
He's a womanizer.
He hits on every girl.
He's a womanizer.
He hits on every girl.
Okay?
Let's review one more time.
We learned the idiom hit on.
Again, hit on means you like someone that you don't know.
You go and talk to them.
Again maybe try to get to know them better or their phone number or something like that.
Now, in America um... yeah guys hit on girls of course.
But I think in Korea, a lot more Korean guys tend to hit on girls in public places like
the bus stop or on the street or maybe even a on the subway.
So, a that's the word we learned in this video and I hope to see you guys next time.
Bye.
