Perguntas sobre exemplo de orações com, e a definição e o uso de "Say"

A: You use this expression just after you say something that you feel is controversial, embarrassing, or shameful to say.

It's typically used after you finally say something that you have been wanting to say for a while, but you have been afraid to say it out loud or tell the other person because you feel it is embarrassing to admit or you are concerned about how the other person will react.

It doesn't have to be a statement that hurts another person's feelings... it could just be case where you were too embarrassed to admit something for a long time and you finally built up enough courage to say it.

Example (with hurting someone's feelings): "I think you are a gross and disgusting pig. There, I said it."

Example (without hurting someone's feelings): "Susan, there's something that I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I've never had the courage to tell you... I love you... There, I said it."

A: Yes, it can be very similar to rumour but not quite interchangeable.

He said, she said would always be a reported dialogue whereas a rumour could be about behaviour or something else.

Also, rumour implies some uncertainty of the facts. He said she said could certainly be a rumour or unreliable but not necessarily.

A: It is a slang greeting. Basically a shortened "what've you got to say (or tell me)?", but accurately replied to with another short greeting.

A: "That's what she said!" is something you say in response to something that could sound like something a woman would say in a sexual situation.

For example: "It's so big! It just won't fit"
And then someone would quickly reply "That's what she said!"

A: I think it should be "who is he to say what's what?"
and that is a question that demands to know what authority 'he' has to be giving order.

A: I’d say so as well that that dogs are better then cats.

A: @kk77acb You can say "I'll say so", but it sounds a little more sarcastic, it's like you're saying "duh!". Or, it means you really agree with what someone says.

For example, it is obvious that it is raining really hard outside.
Person 1: Wow, it's raining really hard.
Person 2: Yeah, I'll say so!!

(I think "I'd say so" is used more often as a response to a question or a true statement. "I'll say so" is a response to something that is very obvious.)

I hope that makes sense! Honestly, they are both similar. You could use either one, it really doesn't matter too much.

A: Examples:

I would like an ice cream "but" they only have vanilla.

I would "rather" have strawberry ice cream "but" they only have vanilla.

They only have vanilla ice cream "but" I'd "rather" have strawberry.

I "like" strawberry ice cream "but" they only have vanilla.

I'd "rather" have a slushy because they don't have what I "like".

A: we use the verb "to say" to express a thought, a suggestion or an opinion.
e.g. my mom always says that I have to clean my room in the morning.
"to tell" is used to say "something" to someone
e.g. my mother always tells me that I have to clean my room in the morning

A: You would not normally use "say when" in written English. It is more often spoken out loud while talking. Examples would be a waiter putting cheese on your food and then saying, "say when." It means tell me when it is enough or tell me when to stop. Does that make sense?

A: @jickoon: These expressions are a bit old. If you agree with the person, you can just say "Yeah/Yes" and maybe add a comment of your own. A more casual expression would be "I know, right?"

A: you would normally use "how can I say" to yourself... as if you are questioning yourself in how can you say something..

example: you're having trouble remembering what you wanted to say so you say to yourself "how can i say this" because now you're trying to think of another way to state your thought.

you would normally ask someone: "how do I say"

if you don't know how to say something.

A: つまり why would you say thatのほうは強いわけみたいですね。前の例文にwhy do you say that に変えたら、「なんでそうおもうの」みたいな軽い言い方です。

A: Speak is the name of what you're doing When you talk.
"I'm going to talk/speak to him"

Say is what you do yourself. You can say the alphabet or you can say nice things.
"Say hi to your friend"

Tell is similar to say. But "tell" is more like a command.
"Tell her that I said hello"

- Can you speak English?
(Are you able to talk in English?)

-When you say things, words come out of your mouth
(When we are mad, we say things)

- I'm going to tell you a secret.
(We tell people to do things)

- we speak English
- we say hi
- we tell someone

A: example 2

A: Did you do well on your exam? / Did you pass your exam?

A: I don't know how to eat

A: I didn't talk to him

A: How many times have I been absent?

A: About how much is the taxi fare?

A: It sounds a bit unnatural.. I would stick with How could you not invite me?

A: Although it's correct and makes sense, I think it sounds more natural without direct quotes. For example:
- She told me to say sorry.
- She told me to apologise.

A: I hear "she got experience".

A:

The second one, 100%

A: Yes exactly. It means for example its not socially acceptable to say that.
