I'm here in São Paulo with a very special guest
for today's episode. It's Carina Fragozo. The last video with her was so great, like two years ago.
-Almost two years! -I guess.
-And now I'm back with her again. -I'm so happy!
-We're in Trianon Park. -And we're in the "playground."
We're in the playground, and there are kids over there, so if you hear a kid screaming,
It's not our fault. Well, it is our fault because we decided to film in the playground.
-Exactly. -Is there an equivalent to playground in Portuguese?
"Parquinho."
Carina, tell us a little about your channel.
My channel is called English in Brazil, but it's youtube/carinafragozo because I'm not great with links.
I teach English - I've been an English teacher for over ten years.
There are pronunciation and vocabulary tips and Seth has been on in a video from two years ago
and another that we just filmed about British expressions, I tested Seth.
It was really interesting.
Take a look. But only after you finish this video and subscribe to Carina's channel and on our channel.
"Our Channel" is another channel. Amigo Gringo channel.
Kids screaming. But let's hope you can't hear it, and let's get started with English questions.
-Ah crap. -A whole school let out.
It's a school, we may have to move.
A huge group of adolescents arrived, we can't film here any longer. We'll head elsewhere.
See you soon.
We're back...and well, I don't think you can even tell we're somewhere else.
-It's all plants. -It's all green, we're in Brazil.
So, let's get started with the questions?
I loved this first question. It's from Mateus Oliveira who wrote:
Amigo Gringo, what are the differences between "amazing," "incredible," and "awesome."
-They're all words that mean something is great. -Really good question.
-They all mean things are great. -Incredible, fantastic, cool...
But can I use "incredible" for something bad?
In most cases it's something really good.
Yeah, because I think that if it's something bad, we could say "That's unbelievable."
In that case yes, right?
It's "inacreditável."
But I think we can distinguish one of them.
"Awesome" can be used as "That's awesome," that's really great.
But it could just be, "ok, awesome."
Like, I agree with you. We made plans and I said "awesome."
Exactly, that's great. I hadn't thought of that.
It's like "ok" - "OK, awesome."
-But not "incredible." -No, not "incredible."
It's like - let's meet later for coffee? Awesome.
It's not like AWESOME!!! HOW INCREDIBLE THAT WE'RE HAVING COFFEE.
Let's quickly go over the origin of those words.
Amazing - amaze is like surprise, something unbelievable.
-That's like when something surprises you. -That's amazing.
Incredible is like in Portuguese, something you can't believe.
And many people don't really that incredible comes from the word "credible," which is something you can believe.
It's "credible" that a million people will watch this video.
-Of course! -Because you'll all share it.
Absolutely
And finally, awesome. "Awe" is a difficult word, it's like showing reverence.
Something that's so incredible that you feel little, unimportant, in front of it.
Why it's -some, I don't know.
It could be awe-full. Ah no, because then it would be "awful."
Like "terrible."
Wow, awful also comes from awe, I'm very confused. You're on the wrong channel,
You have to follow Carina's channel because she explains things better.
-Let's move on! -Let's!
Next question, from Josué Câmera, I also liked this question:
What's the most common surname in the United States, like "Silva" here in Brazil. Do you know?
I do know - it's Smith, right?
-And smith means what? -I don't know.
A smith is someone who works with metals. "Blacksmith" would be the full word.
Or goldsmith. We also have those other names. Goldsmith is a smith that works with gold.
Silversmith also, all that.
So I guess Smith was a very common profession. Ah, let's go to the smith. Which smith?
The one named John! Ah, John Smith - which is like João Silva.
But I think that if it has to do with iron ("ferro"), we have something similar: Ferreira, is that right?
-Exactly. It all has to do with iron. -How interesting.
And now, from "In Bia's World."
Ah, she comments a lot on my channel as well!
-I know that name! -And I liked her question:
Amigo Gringo, make a video about expressions used in food preparation.
And she went on: I always get confused with how when we want to say 'roast a cake', it's 'bake a cake'
But if it's meat, it's roast.
Can you talk about that? Now, that's so interesting. I never know what to say in Portuguese in the kitchen.
But I think she -- in Portuguese, really?
-Just say "roast." -"Roast" works with everything?
For everything.
-Roast is "assar." -It's for meat - like a turkey for Thanksgiving.
-Roast beef... -"Carne assada".
But would be the equivalent of "bake"?
Bake a cake, it's "assar" again. Bake cake...what else?
-Bread, cake, cookies...my favorite, chocolate chip cookies.
I'm going to put a cookie here, because I'm getting hungry. Look at that cookie.
It's almost noon, we're dreaming about cookies here.
-I owe you all a video about cookies. -Is there a video about cookies?
I'm going to make a video about cookies, you know why?
-Baking cookies? -No, not baking cookies. Eating cookies,
chocolate chip cookies in New York. Know why I'm going to make that video?
It's because the people out there need that information!
No, it's not that. It's because I'm going to eat all the cookies.
So "bake" is for those things in a bakery, and roast is for big cuts of meat.
But what kind of small meat would you 'bake"?
No, you can't bake a small cut of meat. You can't roast a hamburger, for example.
What do you do, then?
Broil. Broil is like grilling inside your oven. You turn the thing to broil, and it's like full-on fire, like 1000 degrees
And it cooks everything in like two minutes.
I don't know where that word comes from.
-I don't either, but so a hamburger... -A hamburger, or broil shrimp...
Ah, you know who the next question is from? Leonardo "Smith."
-Really? -It's Ferreira.
I thought it was Smith. Great.
And he wrote: I've always had a question about the use of "couple." Does it mean exactly two things?
Or several things? That's an incredible question.
It's really good. You guys have the habit of saying "I have a couple of questions."
For me, it's a pair, it's two questions.
If we're talk about two married people, it's a "couple". There are two, normally.
Who knows what will happen in the world in the future, it could be three people married, I don't know.
But for now, a couple is two people.
But when you use "a couple of questions," it's doesn't mean two.
-And so? -It means some.
-Some questions. -A few. A couple.
But is there any context where a couple of something means exactly two?
I don't think it ever does, just in the case of a couple, meaning two people.
Very interesting, I loved that question too.
Igor Neiva wrote: Seth - he used the number 7 - Why do you call maracujá "passion fruit"...
if it makes you sleepy? -That's great. Great.
Could it be true that love makes you sleepy from time to time?
It's tiring, at least. I don't know if it makes you sleepy. But it's tiring.
And the answer is, it's not the love kind of passion. it's like Passion of the Christ.
-"of Christ." -"of Christ."
-Er, I'll say that again. -Sorry!
No, no, she corrected me! It's ok. It's the passion OF Christ.
And that comes from when the Spanish, Spanish missionaires arrived in the Americas and were trying
to teach the natives about Christ and all that.
And the passion fruit flower has five of something and three...I'm not a biologist.
It's has three of these things and five of those things.
I understand. Perfect explanation.
And three and five are numbers that are important in the Passion of Christ.
I don't know why, I'm Jewish, folks. You're Catholic.
-I'm Catholic. -So explain the Passion of Christ.
Let's wait until next time.
NEW YORKESE CLASS
I hope you like the video, we've still got New Yorkese class coming up, but before that:
Subscribe to the channel and click on the bell to receive notifications.
-Thanks Carina. -No, thank you! I loved being on the channel,
and go watch our video on my channel as well.
I'll put a circle with your channel here.
And now, your New Yorkese class. I chose a question that has to do with the history of New York
and of that part of the United States.
Jaciane de Freitas asked: "Hi dude! But, what is a dude?"
Where does that word "dude" come from?
Specifically, what is dude?
It's like "cara" - What's up, cara?
But "cara" comes from here, right, a face. I think.
Now listen to the explanation for dude.
I don't have the slightest idea.
Try not to fall asleep during this explanation.
It comes from a song that every American knows called "Yankee Doodle Dandy".
Yankee Doodle Dandy is about a guy, a dude.
That song is about a country boy who wanted to imitated the fancy people from the city
he goes to the city but doesn't have the right clothes, so he sticks a feather in his hat.
Now, Yankee doodle. Yankee is a Yankee, someone who supports the Americans in the Revolution.
But "doodle" means "simpleton," do you know what that is?
What is it?
Someone who is kind of dumb. Someone who doesn't have a clue what's going on.
So Yankee Doodle Dandy is a clueless guy who tries to dress well and is on the American's side
in the Revolution. And all that became "dude."
Wow, that's quite complex. [Really boring.] But it's really interesting as well to see how language evolves
from a song.
-Incredible. -Incredible.
Look for that song. You'll impress your friends if you can sing Yankee Doodle.
OK, that's it folks. 'Til next time!
