    When my friend proposed me to follow "Papa teach me" channel, "Not fussed", I said, and I've just thought that's fair enough. After having watched some compelling videos, especially this one, however, I reckoned I might as well have known this channel much earlier. To sum up, I'm afraid I'm altogether fascinated for these compelling expressions.

    -not fussed/bothered [you say it when you would be satisfied with either choice that is offered you]: "Tea or coffee?" "Either - I'm not bothered."
    -fair enough¹ [≈ that's reasonable, even though I'm not sure I agree completely]: "I'm just annoyed with him because he's behaved so badly." "Fair enough."
    -fair enough² [a way of admitting while you may not agree with someone's opinion]: (American)"Personally, I don't like the British, because the British don't like us." (Brit)"Fair enough."
    -suppose so [used to show unwillingness (it's the opposite of enthusiasm) to agree]: "Can I go out tonight?" "Oh, I suppose so."
    -I'm afraid [used to politely say 'I'm sorry']: I'm afraid (that) we can't come this evening.

I also could've said "I already know all of these but I have no idea how I came to know them." - all of that means the same thing, essentially. :)

    Very informative! The only one we don't use in the U.S. is "not fussed." We're a little more direct, we simply say "I don't care." Americans aren't good at making up their minds, either, so we say this a lot. Excellent as always, it just wouldn't be Saturday without a new video from you.

    • @cheetopuffs4535
      @cheetopuffs4535 7 років тому +7

      In a situation where one might say "Not fussed," I usually put the impetus of the decision more directly on the other person by saying "It's up to you." Otherwise, if I don't want to ask them to choose that directly, I might say "I don't mind" or something along that line or simply say directly "Anything is fine." :D

    US translations/equivalents:
    1. Not fussed/not bothered - No one says this in America, it would be weird if you did. We would say "I don't care"
    2. Fair enough - Same meaning
    3. I suppose so - ALWAYS say "I guess so". "I suppose so" is very formal.
    4. I'm afraid - Same meaning, but it's not very common.
    5. Might as well - Same meaning

    I feel a lot of differences while talking face to face with only one person who's from English speaking countries rather sitting in a group with bunches of them. It's still a thing for me to understand what they are really actually genuinely talking about sometimes ... Pls slow a little bit down... from the bottom of my heart. Papa,Could you make a video about how to deal with it? Or just give us some useful tips would be blessed! Thank you in advance! X

    Thanks a million! I've learnt English for quite a long time but my English for daily conversations is rather poor as I only learnt formal language in classroom learning. Last month I went to Mid-Europe and met a lot of Aussies. They also said "fair enough" all the time! For the first time I heard that I found it really interesting and new to me.

      @@Hiziyass sure, but I think Qutaiba wanted to use "fair enough". I can't really think of a similar sentence to use "fair enough". I use the expression to sort of agree with someone (not like "it's absolutely the same that I think", more like "ok, I see why you think that way". So an example would be: "- I know you wanted me to prepare dinner, but I have had a long day and I am very tired""- Fair enough".

    Oh, first of all, I am so glad to see you again, and I am not fussed about what video on this channel to watch exactly, nor bothered what kind of topic it will be because of that I suppose so I do not know English at all! So I really appreciate the work of this channel. Oh, and by the way, in my language we have that 'I'm afraid' too. And once I had some funny moment about that when a friend of mine asked me whether I am scared of something as I used exactly that expression too often. I laughed because I was in really stressful circumstances in that period of my life, so that is the truth about all of us - what exactly we prefer to use when choosing our favorite expressions, that is all may show our inner state by that moment if I may say so... And oh, yes, it might be much better I return to learning English and get rid of my laziness. Sorry about so many mistakes - I am afraid I can not get rid of those. And as I said before, I am really grateful for your work. Oh, and of course thanks to Grammarly - you help me constantly!
