The way you speak and the words you choose can reveal a lot about your education, status, mood and attitude towards the person you are talking to or the situation. Many people use language to sound “cool.” For example, when I was in the USA, I wanted to sound like American teenagers. Even this eternal “like” through every word could not break my firm intention to speak like them. And now I use all sorts of colloquial words so as not to sound dry, but, on the contrary, funny and even funny. Of course, the choice of words depends on the situation. In an official setting, such words would be, to put it mildly, out of place. But when you are surrounded by friends, why be neutral? Language has many means to defuse the atmosphere, not just to convey your thought, but to present it in a special way, with a certain emotional overtones. I have already given a selection of modern English. If you want to seem cool, show off and impress your fellow dude, I offer you the following words and expressions.

What's up- A chic alternative to the boring “How are you?” Regarding pronunciation and even spelling, there are several options: What’s up / What up / Wassup / Wazzup / Wazza / Sup

A few more conversational “How are you?”

How do you do?(Remember Joey from Friends)

How's it hanging?

How's it going?

Que pasa?

What's cracking?

Spare me the bullshit- Stop talking nonsense

- I didn’t sleep with your sister, Mary, I promise!

- Oh, spare me the bullshit, I saw you two yesterday enter the hotel at night.

(Yes, I didn’t sleep with your sister, Mary, honestly! - Stop pouring in. I saw you come into the hotel last night)

Cut the crap- Let's not make long speeches (you are trying to stop the long and often empty stream of speech of your interlocutor and force him to get to the point)

- Cut the crap, I don’t have time. (Come on, less words, more action. I don't have time)

Everyone knows the words cool/awesome meaning “cool, cool.” Instead you can say:

wicked- steep: This car is wicked! (This car is cool) In American English, “wicked” means “very”: That car is wicked cool - This car is very cool.

sick- cool, cool: Man, that song is so sick! (Dude, this song is so awesome)

badass- steep: I have a bad-ass car with a kickin sound system and bitchin rims. (I have a cool car with a chic system and awesome wheels)

dope- steep: That movie was dope! (That movie was cool) This is dope! (Cool!)

Sweet!- oh, gorgeous!

- Oh, sweet!

(Here, I bought you a ticket to Sunday's game. - Oh, great!)

Very popular calls like “ Dude”:

Hey what's up dude? (Hi dude)

That dude crashed into my car. (This dude crashed into my car)

Dude is good, but it can be replaced with other equally colorful words:

Brotha That's right, brotha. (Exactly, brother)

With the increased popularity of the appeal “ bro” the number of variations on the same theme has increased; that is, instead of the laconic bro, you can say broseph / broski / broseidon(my favorite) /broheim/brohan/broham

Homeboy/Homie- Address to a close friend: wazup homie!! how's it going!!

Compadre

K man= Ok, man. Expression of consent. Man can be replaced with another address.

- I think we need to buy more cookies.

- K man.

(I think I need to buy some cookies. - Okay)

Do you get me?- You understand me?

Take it easy- relax, don't worry

Keep it real- Be yourself, be simpler. Often used when saying goodbye, sort of like a wish to remain yourself and be true to your principles.

Later bro, keep it real!

Later.- See you later. Short for “See you later.” Agree, why unnecessary things when you can say everything so simply?

hella(= very) - very

I am hella tired tonight! (I'm very tired today)

LA is hella far away. (Los Angeles is very far from here)

You"re hella dumb. (You are very dumb)

Question word + the hell / in the world+ the rest - What the hell, to hell, pst. The hell/in the world is simply placed after the question word. They are needed for emotional coloring.

How the hell did you do that? - Pppt, how did you do that?

Who the hell do you think you are? - Who the hell do you think you are?

What in the world did I say wrong? - What did I say wrong?

What the hell? - What the? What the heck?

for shizzle- Certainly! undoubtedly. Variations: for sho / fo shizzle / 4shiz / for sheezy

- Wanna go eat?

I would totally go out with her coz she’s hot! (I would definitely hook up with her because she is very beautiful)

Innit?- is not it?

Cool, innit. (Cool isn't it?)

Overused in London slang, replacing “really?” or used as “I agree”.

Dafaq- Which one? (short for “What the fuck?!”)

A lot has been written and said about love in English, let’s try to collect the most interesting examples.

Love is blind. - Love is blind.

It is difficult to argue with this statement, but there is another that can better clarify the idea expressed.

Love isn’t blind, it just sees what matters. - Love is not blind, it only sees what is really important.

The next aphorism continues the same theme. It is originally in French, but is presented here in English. These beautiful and precise words belong to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. - Only the heart is vigilant. You can't see the main thing with your eyes.

Another beautiful saying characterizes not only the feeling itself, but also loving people.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. - To fall in love does not mean to find, but to learn to accept the imperfect.

And finally, let’s give a humorous one. However, it contains a rather serious meaning.

Love me, love my dog ​​(literal translation: if you love me, love my dog ​​too). - If you love me, then you will love everything connected with me.

You've probably asked yourself more than once why English words are so beautiful and attractive to the ear, and why you want to learn the language as quickly as possible.
And the point is not only that this is one of the most popular languages, along with French and Spanish, knowing which you open up a new world of previously incomprehensible possibilities. Beautiful English words

Why are there so many beautiful words in English?

Why is English so attractive to millions of people today?

1. The first probably comes from our subconscious craving for euphony.
   Indeed, if we conduct a brief phonetic analysis:
   • in this language there are practically no sibilants adjacent to each other
   • many open and long vowels and diphthongs
   • many combinations of English consonants -l, —m, —n, —b, —d, —v with vowels - a, —o, e, —i, —u, —y etc.
   • there are no difficult words to pronounce (such as our borsch), although English also has its own articulatory features
2. The second is inherent in the very semantics of the English language:
   • versatility, word recognition
   • borrowing from other languages:

   Cosmopolitan— cosmopolitan
   Delicacy- delicacy
   Eternity- eternity
   Fantastic- fantastic
   Galaxy- galaxy
   Liberty- freedom, etc.

   If we imagine that we are all children of the same foremother, then language memory lies dormant in our genes. The English language, in terms of borrowings, is like a sponge that has absorbed the most valuable linguistic forms over the centuries. Maybe that’s why he seems initially beautiful to us from birth

3. And the third undeniable quality of English speech is the enormous possibilities of its emotional vocabulary:
   • colloquial slang and idioms
   • use of diminutive suffixes and other attributes

Interesting experience of British linguists

British linguists, huge fans of various surveys, recently came up with another survey to identify the most beautiful words in their language. For this purpose, they interviewed many foreigners. Ask - why foreigners? Apparently, it is difficult for a native Englishman to dispassionately determine the beauty of a word by its sound, since he will always tie the word to its meaning. On the contrary, non-native speakers often like beautiful, albeit incomprehensible, words.

The winner in the survey, of course, was a beautiful word that is understandable in all languages mother, and this is not surprising - we know it from the very moment of birth.

• young people liked words from the love, romantic, and musical vocabulary
• for older people - philosophical, “eternal” concepts
• businessmen and politicians - more specific and “tangible” terms of business and political life
• for housewives - words from everyday life, as well as from the world of TV series and shopping

As a result, the survey did not find anything particularly surprising. It has been proven once again that the environment in which a person lives, his lifestyle, work, hobbies - all this influences lexical preferences. Everyone has their own beautiful words.

The biggest secret of beautiful words

What is surprising is something completely different - all these words, “gifted” to linguists by those who essentially do not speak the language very well, turned out to be beautiful not only in sound, but also in their meaning. They are all positive, even the word bubble(bubble), apparently because this word is used to describe balloons that are filled with gas and then fly into the sky.
Thus, the survey was also valuable for psychologists - it showed that the concept of beauty in all of us is associated with something kind and good.
Sakura trees Also, marketers, advertising workers, artists, designers and other creative people took advantage of the survey. And this is also understandable: if the keyword in an advertisement, logo or name of a store (company, campaign) is beautiful, then this, of course, will attract attention.

Surely you have asked yourself the question more than once: why are some words in the English language so melodic and beautiful? And the reason is not that this language is the most popular, but that you have the opportunity to discover another world in which your capabilities will multiply. Very often, people decide to learn English precisely because they like the sound of individual words.

Why is this language beautiful?

The English language is attractive to many people for a number of the following reasons:

Subconscious craving for euphony. There are no sibilant consonants, which are similar in sound, but there are a large number of long vowels. There are also no words that are difficult to pronounce, despite the fact that in order to pronounce some you need to have certain articulatory abilities.

Linguistic semantics. Most words are easy to recognize because they are universal. Some of them were borrowed from other languages, for example: fantastic - fantastic, delicacy - delicacy, eternity - eternity, galaxy - galaxy, freedom - liberty. The English language can be compared to a sponge - it has absorbed valuable linguistic forms, which is why it seems so beautiful.

Incredible emotional vocabulary. This may include the presence of idioms and unusual colloquial slang, as well as the use of affectionate suffixes and other techniques.

Invaluable experience of linguists

Linguists from Britain like to organize various surveys. Not long ago they decided to create another one. Its goal is to discover words that are pleasant to hear. The survey was conducted among foreigners, since it is difficult for a native resident of Britain to determine the attractiveness of a particular word - he simply ties them to certain meanings. And, as for non-native speakers, they are often attracted to unknown words.

First place in the survey was taken by the very melodic word mother, known to every person from birth. Other results varied depending on age and social group level:

Young people prefer romantic words, as well as those related to music.

Philosophical concepts appealed to older people.

Businessmen like tangible terms about business life.

Housewives like everyday words, as well as those that are often found in shopping and in TV series.

As you can see, the survey did not give definite results. This was further evidence that the environment where a person lives and works influences lexical preferences. Every language has attractive words.
