Hey guys and welcome back to love
English I'm Sabrah so today I have a
little bit of a different lesson for you
I have a lesson on phrasal verbs but
these phrasal verbs are a little bit
sexy they are related to dating and
relationships
however they are not rude they may be a
little bit naughty sometimes but they
are very common and very useful now
before we get started I'd like to say
hello in some of your languages thank
you so much guys for writing to me and
telling me how to say hello in your
languages I'm learning lots of new
languages it's great so I'm going to
first try and say hello in Vietnamese
okay let me try Xin Chao so hello
to Vietnam to India I have to say
namaste
Namaskar Namaskar oh I think these are
some Indian greetings I know India is
very big so you have different greetings
and last of all I'd like to say hello to
Turkey Merhaba if I haven't said hello yet
in your language guys please remind me
and in the next video I will try to
hmm now as this lessons a little bit
dating themed as you can see I've got a
glass of rose why don't you guys grab
a refreshing drink to sip as we go
through these phrasal verbs Cheers right
number one now imagine that you're out
in a bar or you're in a public place and
you see somebody that you think is
attractive the natural thing to do is to
look at them and to look at them in a
way that shows that you're interested in
them they may not know this or they may
notice you doing this but the verb to
describe this action is called to check
someone out to check someone out so for
example you could say oh check out that
guy he looks nice so to check someone
out to look at someone that you find
attractive now sometimes they don't know
that you've looked at them however
sometimes people want the person to
notice them checking them out so that
they can respond and see that the person
is interested so to check someone out
now an important point to make guys is
that it's not staring you should not be
staring at somebody that it's not
appropriate it is just looking at them
and perhaps then telling your friends
that you think they're attractive or
it's looking at them and hoping to catch
their eye because you think they're
good-looking and you would like them to
notice you phrasal verb number two to
hit it off now imagine that you start
chatting to a person you've just met so
perhaps you've met them at college or
you might have met them at work or you
might have met them in a club or in a
bar and you're getting on very very well
you're really enjoying each other's
company
you're laughing things are going great
in this case you can say that you've hit
it off you've hit it off so this means
that you've clicked you feel very
comfortable with each other and you
might feel a connection we could also
say that you have a spark between you if
you hit it off
romantically there isn't a spark if you
hit it off with a colleague hit it off
as a general phrasal verb so it can be
used for friends
colleagues or it can be used
romantically so it's quite a general
phrasal verb meaning to get on well with
somebody to quickly understand that you
can have a easy relationship with them
and that you're going to be friends or
perhaps more so do you come here often
i think I recognise you
I've seen you around here before maybe
we've met before so what's good to drink
around here
do you recognize what these are guys?
these are called chat up lines and we
can also use this as a phrasal verb to
chat someone up to chat someone up and
this is where you're trying to start a
conversation with somebody that you're
interested in romantically
you don't chat up a friend it's
something you do when you want to start
a conversation with somebody that you
don't know that you're attracted to
now sometimes chat up lines can be very
cheesy you should know what the word
cheesy means guys if you've watched my
20 conversational English phrases which
if you haven't watched you can watch
just up there so the word cheesy means
that you find it too much it could make
you feel a bit Oh a bit sick or too too
much so sometimes chat up lines can be
very cheesy for example a very classic
cheesy chat up line is did it hurt when
you fell from heaven because you're an
angel...oh so bad
another cheesy one is I think I need to
see a doctor after seeing you there's
something wrong with my heart
some of these are really awful guys and
normally girls don't like them it's
important to point out that in the UK
guys tend to chat up girls more than the
other way around but it isn't always the
case sometimes girls will chat up guys
but they wouldn't normally use a chat up
line in fact most people in the UK don't
use chat up lines thank goodness
number 4 to hit on someone no it is
definitely not to hit them English is
not usually that literal when it comes
to phrasal verbs so to hit on somebody
means to show someone physically that
you are interested in them romantically
and that you
something more than that so it's a
physical thing if you hit on them you
try to kiss them you try to touch them
you do something to show that you are
physically interested in them now
sometimes people don't like it if you
hit on somebody and the other person
isn't interested it can make them feel
very very uncomfortable so to hit on
somebody is only okay if the person
understands that the other person is
interested so sometimes people can hit
on another person and it become
uncomfortable or unpleasant so it has a
little bit of a negative connotation a
little bit of a negative association
because if the other person isn't
interested it's not very nice so
something clever so it's important to
read the signals and to know if they
like you normally it is also guys that
hit on girls
but again it's not always the case it
can also happen the other way around but
it's more common in the UK that a guy
hits on a girl it's quite an American
expression and in American movies you'll
often hear the phrase are you hitting on
me ? it wouldn't be a sexy phrasal verbs
video without a bit of romantic lighting
is this doing anything? I didn't think so
so guys this is a very famous phrasal
verb because lots of songs lots of pop
songs have made this very famous and it
it is to get it on to get it on this is
really a three part phrasal verb with it
in the middle so to get it on means to
what should we say have a little bit of
fun a little bit more than kissing shall
we say in Britain we might even call it
a little bit of hanky-panky if you
haven't heard that expression before
then you should watch later our funny
British sex expressions video which is
just up there it's been very very
popular hanky panky just means well sex
to get it on means just that number six
to stand someone up now to stand someone
up means to arrange to have a date with
them or to meet them for coffee or
something romantic you can also use it
sometimes for arrangements with friends
but it's much more common for dating so
the person gets ready for their date
they arrive at the restaurant or the bar
and they sit there waiting for the other
person thinking oh they're five minutes
late
or they're 10 minutes late or they're 15
minutes late half an hour late and after
that they realize they're not coming
it's a horrible thing to happen guys and
it's when the other person doesn't tell
you that they're not coming to the date
for whatever reason they let you go but
they never arrive so it's a horrible
thing to happen to you
so guys or girls if you're thinking
about doing that then don't do it
text the person let them know you can't
make it it's the polite thing to do guys
while we're doing the more negative
phrasal verbs the next one is also
negative so number seven is to cheat on
someone to cheat on someone now this is
when you're in a relationship and you're
supposed to be faithful to each other so
you are not supposed to have
anything with another man or woman or
another girl a boy but one of you is
very naughty and you go and kiss or do
more with someone else behind the other
person's back so normally the other
person doesn't know about this and they
find out later or perhaps sometimes they
don't find out but whatever it is all
called
to cheat on someone to cheat on someone
so it's basically where you are
unfaithful in a relationship however if
it's referring to marriage marriage the
phrase changes and we actually use the
phrase to have an affair to have an
affair so for example if you're married
and then one of you has a relationship
with another man or woman behind the
other's back then they are having an
affair
again horrible thing to do don't do
these things guys be nice to each other
you had sex with another woman oh my god
nobody likes change  should we do something yeah
never cheat on Rachel so examples of
this in a sentence would be the neighbor
cheated on his girlfriend so the
pronunciation here guys is cheat to
cheat just like what you do in a game if
you're not playing by the rules you can
cheat but remember we need the
preposition so it's cheat on someone
number 8 guys number 8 is a little bit
more of a naughty one but I'm going to
explain it in a very polite way it is to
turn someone on or to be turned on and
this means that you you feel attracted
to the person and you feel in the mood
for more than kissing shall we say or
maybe just kissing it depends on your
culture so to be turned on so an example
of this in a sentence would be six packs
really turn me on
six packs turn me on this means that you
feel attracted to six packs they put you
in the mood is it me or is it getting a
bit warm now? there is actually an
opposite for this you can be turned off
by something so
something can make you feel not
attracted to the person and not in the
mood at all for example imagine you're
having a lovely romantic meal music is
playing you're looking into each other's
eyes everything is perfect you really
want to lean across the table and
kiss them and then they burp oh this is
an example of being turned off in that
moment the other person would probably
feel turned off so not in the mood
anymore
not like kissing them and definitely not
feeling romantic so to be turned off you
can say things like oh when people have
food in their teeth it turns me off or
if a person has bad breath it turns me
off so you can say the things that you
don't like and you find unattractive
guys if you feel brave enough then
please share any funny dating stories
you have below in the comments try and
use the vocabulary if you want to if you
don't want to share a story just try and
use any of these phrasal verbs in a
practice sentence this dress or this
dress? Can you guess what this is guys
this is to get dressed up so number 9 to
get dressed up so this means to put your
best clothes on to look nice and
attractive for the date so if you're a
guy you'll probably want to wear a shirt
or a jacket and girls might wear a dress
or they might choose to wear a nice top
and a pair of jeans or something like
that again this is very dependent on
culture but I think it's something
universal that we all would get dressed
up to go and meet somebody that we would
like to impress you can also just say to
dress up so for example you can say oh
I'm dressing up tonight I'm going to
wear a nice dress to the party I'm
dressing up however there is a second
meaning to dress up it can also mean to
wear a fancy dress costume now a fancy
dress costume is something where you
would change into a different character
or dress according to a theme for
example the 1970s or the great gatsby
things like that so a great example of
this is Halloween during Halloween
lots of
people like to dress up as ghosts or
witches or vampires and we would call
this dressing up right number 10 last
one to hook up now to hook up can mean
to meet somebody so to make an
arrangement to meet someone so you could
for example say oh I really want to see
you again
let's let's hook up soon normally it's
used in romantic occasions but not
always it can be used for friends as
well much more common in romantic
situations though so it means to arrange
a meeting to meet up to hook up however
there is a second meaning the second
meaning is well should we say it's
to get it on you should know what that
means guys so you have to be very
careful with how you use this phrasal
verb because if you say I hooked up with
this guy I've been dating a person can
either think that you went on a date
with them or they might think that you
got it on with them so that you had
let's say a bit of fun so it depends on
the contact and how you say it and if my
friend said to me oh we hooked up
I would probably understand by her tone
of voice and her facial expression what
she meant watch out for this expression
in movies guys or in songs rap music
things like that and you'll start to
understand how it is used guys thank you
