While I'm not interested in learning how to become a salesman from you I do thank you for very clearly illustrating the meaning of the word "inflection"
To be honest, it adds a whole new layer of confusion to a situation having this lexical tool. It's usually liars and cheats that use verbal inflections to say one thing one way, but mean another when confronted about what they said. Though you can use inflections in the written word, the fact it was written and recorded means the person who wrote it can't imply any other meaning, _even_ if they use an inflection..... So yeah, be careful of people who talk like that - sales man in the video will probably tell you the same.
This lesson about voice-inflection is really quite fabulous. As you were explaining the emphasis on a particular word in the sentence, I thought of defense lawyers and how they could use inflection in their defense of a client; "my client didn't say he robbed the bank" Lol! I referenced this video because I was unclear about the difference between inflection and intonation - thank you for clearing that up for me. Take care!
I guarantee you after I listen to this video about 36 times that you have just taught me something important. At my age I find that amazing. Thanks for this video now let me watch it another 35 times😂
Such a cool and concise video! I’ve always wondered what this type of dialogue was called. I wish more people would make their education lessons less than 3 minutes.
I came to the comment section thoroughly disappointed that no one caught the fact that the example used in this video is directly from Zig Ziglars "Secrets of Closing the Sale" that was published in 1982.
So the emphasis goes on the word you want to emphasize. Genius! But honestly, I love these kinds of realities about our everyday language. It gets even more interesting if you change emitter and receiver in the communication. When you say a phrase like "I didn't say he stole the money.", that's one thing. But if you're on the receiving end, it's not necessarily given, that you consciously observe the inflection happening. You subconsciously hear the message and process it, and are left with a feeling, depending on the inclination to some degree. If you listen to someone, always check, if you misunderstood a message because of an unexpected inflection. Also, it's fun to mess with inflections. Like if you want to sell a car and emphasize the word "sell" throughout the conversation, I claim that it's more likely to sell the car. "This car is very SELdom. The last owner just SOLD his SELLary farm over in DanZEL. You should buy it." "FUCK YEAH!"
Interesting! I somehow KNEW of this but never got it put to actual knowledge/skill that I can analyce or think abuot it, give it a tought... Very useful, thanks!
Me: "What do you do?" Him: "sales training" Also him: "want to talk about stealing money?" Hats off though, this is the best explanation of inflection I've seen &, in under 2 minutes!
Depending on the context of the words, it could mean that you’re accusing someone or you’re just trying to be comical. In this case it would probably just be funny or you’re in a heated argument.
_HE_ didn’t say he stole the money! He _DIDNT_ say he stole the money! He didn’t _SAY_ he stole the money! He didn’t say _HE_ stole the money! He didn’t say he _STOLE_ the money! He didn’t say he stole _THE_ money! He didn’t say he stole the _MONEY!_
I think the "The" in "the money" should've been changed to "my". It's clearer to what they mean! "I didn't say he stole *my* money!" That indicates that he stole someone else's money, it's clearer than *THE* money
I just wanted to hear someone clearly express reasons why it irritates the hell out of my when im watching UA-cam and the person speaking misuses inflection. I don't care if they're in the habit of it, its a careless and simple improper use of speech and might as well be nails on chalkboard >.< sheesh. Now your level of intelligence is up for debate. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO YOURSELF!" End rant.
Ugh! Beat me by seven years! Even though I've seen it mentioned in a dozen dictionaries of usage, I didn't think people actually confused these two words. I mean, there's such a clear difference between them. . . .
This is very stereotypical american. Perhaps they play it at public American culture courses? Anybody talking even remotely like this is guaranteed to only care about your money.

Well said.
I concur
ditto
unfortunately this is a video about emphasis l while I was looking for one on inflection
Nice to see the 80’s alive and well
He's probably Cobra Kai.
I think the microphone he's using has been stored outdoors since the 80s.
Hahahahah
😂
I BET YOU STOLE THE MONEY
Omg
LmfAo0, classic!
I bet YOU stole the money😅
Lol
Noice.
Better Call Saul
Jaguar d saul

Lmao Saul really speaks like this everytime huh
Thanks for getting to the point and making this short and concise. This was very educational and quick.
WHO STOLE THE GODDAMN MONEY?!!
he
L. Rams I hate your profile pic with all the hatred in my body
LOL
I DID!
LOL!!
Though I am not trying to be anyone's salesman....this is powerful lesson about words and communication.

That makes so much sense. Unbelievable how it changes each meaning
ngl this was kind of dope to see how the meaning can change so much using the same words
Such a cool and concise video!
I’ve always wondered what this type of dialogue was called.
I wish more people would make their education lessons less than 3 minutes.
My eyes are open now thank you.
I didn't know there was a word for this.
this is actually monstrously helpful! thank you my dude.
"actually"
Monstrously. Rad
I came to the comment section thoroughly disappointed that no one caught the fact that the example used in this video is directly from Zig Ziglars "Secrets of Closing the Sale" that was published in 1982.
You did.
So you are saying he STOLE the example?
so plagerism...
So now when someone comes to the comments, they will find your comment
That's why I'm here!
This video was funny as hell and got straight to the point 🤣
This is DEEP!!! 🧠
This IS deep. 🧠
@@brm77 lol 😆
emphasizing certain words creates a whole different meaning to a sentence. Got it!
An expansion in consciousness The "wherewithal" to reflect on the subtleties of communication are profound. This is good stuff
Thoroughly content with the comments I’ve read here today.
Inflection is the name for the extra letter or letters added to nouns, verbs and adjectives in their different grammatical forms.
also
I felt like Dr. Evil, from Austin Powers, laughing with his colleagues after watching this.

I was just gonna write about better call Saul but someone is already ahead of me
3 years ahead
I learned a lot from your video. Thank you.
P.S - I did pick up a "Better Call Saul" vibe from this but that's okay because I liked Saul.
Saul is a legend 😊
It's the one TV show where I've actively noticed inflection being used a lot.
Interesting! I somehow KNEW of this but never got it put to actual knowledge/skill that I can analyce or think abuot it, give it a tought... Very useful, thanks!
Me: "What do you do?"
Him: "sales training"
Also him: "want to talk about stealing money?"
Hats off though, this is the best explanation of inflection I've seen &, in under 2 minutes!
This reminds me of Bart Simpson. Great lesson by the way!
Its hilarious after struggling to find any single video on how to improve my rap voice using inflections
I found the answer through the sales guy 😂
This is also a good lesson for anyone learning to speak English in general
What happens if you yelled every word equally with no distinct difference as to which was stressed the most?
then it'll just sound like Johnny from Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
: I DIDN'T SAY HE STOLE THE MONEY -- I DID NOT. OH HI MARK.

excellent lesson. Thank you
THAT ENDING LOL
Excellent
Thank you
Thanks so much, great refresher. Truly appreciate it 💭🎼🖌◀🗣
fantastic, thank
I do understand.
he didn't give me the number to contact him 😢
He didn't say he stole the money!
_HE_ didn’t say he stole the money!
He _DIDNT_ say he stole the money!
He didn’t _SAY_ he stole the money!
He didn’t say _HE_ stole the money!
He didn’t say he _STOLE_ the money!
He didn’t say he stole _THE_ money!
He didn’t say he stole the _MONEY!_
I usually stick with the 4th example.
I think in your first sentence, you meant "imply" rather than infer. Right?
Ugh! You beat me to it by 2 years. . .
Thanks sir amazing!
This is too good!
I like this guy!
Kevin Grandma? did I hear that right ?
That was really good, thank you
\
He just sold me something accidentally. And he wasn't even trying.
Stewie: WHERE'S MY MONEY, MAN?!
Is this inflection?
Joey?
Better Call Saul!!!!
This way gooddd
ugh school got me watching this
The problem now is it should be “ I I didn’t say he/him/his sole the money . But now that’s sexiest .
Made this a lot easier
I think the "The" in "the money" should've been changed to "my". It's clearer to what they mean!
"I didn't say he stole *my* money!"
That indicates that he stole someone else's money, it's clearer than *THE* money
I'm doctor steve brule, for your health
Fab ...loved it
Bruh. He just sold us inflection.
I can now see
Lol that's crazy to think about how adding emphasis on one word can change the complete meaning of the sentence
I just wanted to hear someone clearly express reasons why it irritates the hell out of my when im watching UA-cam and the person speaking misuses inflection. I don't care if they're in the habit of it, its a careless and simple improper use of speech and might as well be nails on chalkboard >.< sheesh. Now your level of intelligence is up for debate. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO YOURSELF!" End rant.
thanks bud
May I get your email or another social media, Sir?
I want to ask you many things about English lesson
Gr8 call
I thought this was called intonation?
This guy makes people from New Jersey look British.
Shout out Zig Zigler.
Imply not infer
Same for
I didnt say she kill him.
i'm trying to borrow some money without permission lol
I didn't steal the money
It’s actually, I didn’t say he stole MY money
The idea is the same
Best
I’m hella high
he sounds like a ninja turtle
the goat
What you are talking about is stress.
You bet he stole his own money
OMG!
Money money money 💰 💰
I still think emphasizing on "THE" makes no sense here🙄🙄
You stole this from Zig Ziegler. Be original or give credit to the original origin.
Implies* Not infers.
Ugh! Beat me by seven years!
Even though I've seen it mentioned in a dozen dictionaries of usage, I didn't think people actually confused these two words. I mean, there's such a clear difference between them. . . .
Treyvon Martin brought me here

Why he is pink? Hahahahaha
LOL

Your own inflection is terrible. You messed this Zig Zigglar teaching up.

mackhomie6 was this comment a joke? Sorry, i can't tell by simply reading it.
