hi guys welcome to the fourth lesson of
my collection where we trying to learn
100 new phrases in the span of just
hundred minutes here is a little bit
about me you can read it and know more
about me if you want to we will straight
away jump onto our phrases and not waste
any time you see a very very happy teeth
over here I don't know why have we
picked up this image but the first
phrase for this lesson is to be on cloud
9 now in Hindi literally ok what is 9 in
English I think in Hindi we use the
phrase sattva Osman Munna so this is
what you know we mean to be on cloud 9
means that you're extremely happy ok
that you're very very happy like how
this particular tooth here is so I will
be on cloud 9 when I get a job now I
think this is a very small reason for
you to be happy but yeah so let's say
for you all if you're preparing for any
competitive exam that you're starting
for right now you will be on cloud
number 9 when you have cleared that exam
and you have got the admission of the
right place you know so this is how you
use to be on cloud 9 and yeah I said
cloud number 9 it is also a song by
Brian Adams I think so you can hear it
if you want to next is bone of
contention now bone of contention in
Hindi translates into facade key jar its
it means that you know there is a
subject or an issue over which sure
there is a continuing disagreement
contention means you know that you have
an argument or the problem here
contention so the let's say the
examination system has been a serious
bone of contention in the HRD ministry
but love HRD ministry major exhauster
Cassatt the problem ScarJo car and
hey-ya bone of contention drunk'
Bheeshma here this is it or let's say
the couple decided to separate because
their work timings became a bone of
contention between the two okay now to
eat humble pie eat humble pie is
basically yeah you forced to admit that
you're wrong and to say that you're
sorry
you know co-op knee this you know Hindi
man there is a Mahavira that is narayana
so you have to you know you have to
accept your defeat and you have to
publicly say that over choke you have to
apologize and say you're sorry you know
you'll have to eat a humble pie for
disrespect that he is shown to his boss
so he will have to be whether you're
literally forced to say sorry so we can
say that mmm when you rot saying hit the
English bowlers to it - six sixes in
Bonneville the boiler had to eat a
humble pie you know that is how you can
use the phrase next is fool's paradise
fool's paradise again I think in Hindi
would translate into Hawaii Mel banana
you know not literally Kai Ali Palau
picanha sort of a thing but it's a it's
a false sense of happiness or success
you know or how we say ignorance is
bliss but level up the duniya Mohito
cushaw way actually pattani a key cobb
ahora like how we say that they were
living in a fool's paradise refusing to
accept that they were facing poverty a
lot of people are saying that about
Vijay Mallya now that he was living in
the fool's paradise not realizing you
know all the money or how he's getting
bankrupt but I'm pretty sure that he
knew what was happening but anyway let's
not divert let's be here on this phrase
that is fool's paradise this is exactly
what it means I think it's very very
simple to understand literally how the
words are written that is what it means
so if you have to tell your friend that
you know hey listen don't be in a fool's
paradise you need to understand that
there is a lot of hard work involved in
clearing this exam so make sure that you
study so this is how you can use this
phrase if you're talking to each other
to give a cold-shoulder means to ignore
so let's say when Salman Khan and
Aishwarya Rai met at a public event they
gave a cold shoulder to each other means
that they ignored each other that is how
you can use it so look at the sentence
that we've used here I sent her a
message to apologize for my misbehavior
but she just gave me a cold-shoulder
cold-shoulder literally means to ignore
and you know how you can actually
imagine this picture where you know the
other person is just ignoring okay
bunker k2 Sator of the kriya or up nay
you know shoulders quest a good hi away
so this is maybe how like we couldn't
say that okay she is giving him a cold
shoulder yeah she gave him a cold
shoulder when he tried to approach hers
that sort of a thing to get a raw deal
get a raw deal
means that you're not treated as well as
the other people again there was a
phrase that we had used that is very
similar to this try and tell me which
idiom that was let's say in your classes
when you're preparing for ups et cetera
I'm sure there must be like hundreds and
hundreds of students in one class so we
can say that in your coaching classes
where there are 100 hundreds of students
you end up getting a raw deal means you
do not get the best of what you actually
can the fact is that students in
government schools get a raw deal you
know that's what everything Madlib
you're getting the short end of the
stick with La Porte not Chuck with
millibar OpCo unfair treatment up with
the HRA that sort of a thing next to do
the correct sorry next is to hit the
nail on the head so just imagine okay it
Davar me up Neil go but under vocaroo
hammer say hit kuru and eventually one
point when you directly hit you know the
nail on its head means will exempt up
under Shailaja you know it peers through
the wall so this is what it means that
you had to hit the nail on the head
means you've actually hit the bullseye
and you've got it right and you've done
the right thing so he always hit the
nail on the head when it comes to
helping people or maybe in this case we
can say that I think now Reema has hit
the nail on the head when she has
started explaining her lessons in Hindi
also or she is giving Hindi explanations
now her lessons are may be better
because or now finally she has managed
to hit the nail on the head buycks by
incorporating a bit of Hindi in her
lessons so this is what it means that
you know you're finally getting it right
or you finally making the right point or
you're in a discussion also we can say
that you know finally when he spoke
about XYZ issue and when he was not
beating around the bush remember this
other idiom that we had used when he was
not beating around the bush and he made
the exact point is when we can say he
really hit the nail on the head hand to
mouth guy's hand to mouth means nothing
like this picture so even though there
is a man who has his hand on his mouth
and to mouth actually means what lub
Hawaii
Dovahkiin roadie honeycomb Althea himeji
not how are they saying no Hindi so hand
to mouth means that you have your living
only on some very basic necessities pick
them basic like you know heavy
rainfall led the farmers to live
hand-to-mouth and kick them basic kisi
transit Gazzara Childre sort of a living
you know
disco hum English people there they are
living hand-to-mouth mclubbe bus it's
Rachel pariah kitchen as a gozar ahora
so that is what hand-to-mouth with way
translates means that you're living on
those absolute basic necessities roti
Cobra makan that's one of the thing next
is to hit the bull's eye like I think I
used this phrase earlier also so this
means that you are exactly right about
something and you're managed to achieve
the best result possible so police will
surely hit the bull's eye in this case
or we can say that the police did not
manage to hit the bull's eye when it
comes to the original van murder case or
we can say that I finally managed to hit
the bull's eye and I got all the answers
right in my interview you know that
that's how you can use it last phrase
here is to let the cat out of the bag
now let the cat out of the bag is
basically when you try girl tisha apne
could secret Battaglia so to reveal the
secret carelessly yeah by mistake you
ended up spilling the beans you know now
that she had led the cat out of the bag
she had no option but to confess or we
can say that I was trying to keep this
party a secret
but Rahul just went and let the cat out
of the bag but there was a co Battaglia
pas de bourree me but when the cat is
out of the bag means that X secret is
co-op secret truck sneaky koshish Karthi
whoa matlab maharaja so maybe we can
think that somebody was trying to hide a
cat in the bag but somehow the cat just
like jumped out so the cat is not out of
the bag and everyone knows that
oh this was the secret so this is how we
use the phrase when you end up
accidentally revealing a secret means
that you have let the cat out of the bag
