[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Corey, this is Jay writing back to you. I've actually given up playing Scrabble with Vicki because she's brilliant at it and I can never, ever win :-) But yes, I seem to remember that when we did play, we used both spellings, meaning we could either add the letters where appropriate in British words, or fit some American words into smaller spaces :-)

Isn't it kind of inpolite or rude to speak Cockney rhyming slang? Vicki mentioned it was a jail slang so... At least here in Russia it's not good to speak that way

[@connie1wilson]

Константин Ежов - It’s not a language, it’s a quirk of English, similar to slang, which every language, even Russian must have. People don’t speak it as a rule, and I would only ever say it ramdomly to other Londoners who I know. The most I might say is let’s have a butchers. Most English people I know speak properly when speaking to others.

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Lovely examples Connie. You've made a start on the video for me here. Thank you. :-)

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Konstantin - great question! Vicki here. The origins of rhyming slang were related to jail, but a lot of people don't know that and most people associate it with a more charming side of London these days - pearly kings and queens and things like that. So no, it doesn't have the same connotations. Another thing, people often use rhyming slang without realizing it. I just had a comment from Bahare about the phrase 'donkeys years' - which means a very long time. I use this expression but only when he told me did I realize it was rhyming slang. Donkey's ears - years. :-)

Slang is apparently slang for "short language"

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

That's interesting Pieter. The Online Etymology Dictionary says: [The] origin of the word [is] from the Northern England noun slang "a narrow piece of land running up between other and larger divisions of ground" and the verb slanger "linger, go slowly," which is of Scandinavian origin (compare Norwegian slenge "hang loose, sling, sway, dangle," Danish slænge "to throw, sling"). But I like your interpretation as well :-)

[@cianshee8570]

Excuse me,I have a question: In 7:07,Jay said:”in the line for the bank”. I just don’t understand why used the preposition “for” here?To indicate the location why not just used the preposition “at”?”at the bank”,it sounds more logical to me.”for the bank”, I understand it as: “Jump the queue for the benefit of the bank.”it is very odd to me. Could you help me answer this question？Thank you!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Clan Shee. This is Jay writing back to you. That's an excellent question. When I used the preposition "for" it indicated that I was 'waiting for' something, in this case, some service at that bank. If I was waiting 'at' the bank, I could have simply been waiting to meet someone, or waiting for the rain to stop, "for the bank" meant I was anticipating doing something once I got in the bank, like cashing a check, or using the ATM machine. I hope that helps. Thanks for writing to us and thanks for watching.

Hi Akos. I am horrified by Brexit. I am a British citizen but I couldn't vote because I live abroad. If I could have voted, I would have voted too remain in the EU. Europe has been plagued by wars and bringing people together is what we need, not dividing them so I think the EU is a wonderful thing. I hope that the UK will get another chance to vote on Brexit and that it votes to remain. I believe we will all be stronger if we stand together.

Simple English Videos Good day mrs Vicky! Could i tell something 2 u please? I usually watch retro, heritage hungarian political videos please! In my childhood, my parents said, politicians r stupid. What i want to tell, it shows it perfect unfortunately! First: in our language there r informal,n formal YOU please. My parents said, if politicians sit in da parlament, in the mainroom, they must 2 use FORMAL YOU, in hungarian ÖN,the plural is önök.. But if they are in da buffet, nthey r eating o drinking something or justtalking, they can use the INFORMAL YOU, WE SAY te in plural ti. Some stupid politicians say the mainrule of da parlament, is USING INFORMAL YOU DURING WORK IS FORBIDDEN. BZT! I HAVE KNOWN TODAY THAT USING INFORMAL YOU IS NOT IN THE BOOK! ONLY THAT THEY HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER! There was a famous scene, one of the opposite politicians had used INFORMAL U FOR THE PRIME MINISTER! THE VICEPRESIDENT OF THE PARLAMENT SAID THAT THIS IS FORBIDDEN! AFTER THIS FAMOUS SPEECH, THIS YOUNG BOY was invited into 2 political tv programs! In one of them he has asked the speaker in da studio with jok, could he use the informal you, t, this phrase in hungarian tegezés or tegezŐDés. The man said, no. Tha 25 years old boy, Bence Tordai said, people can respect each other, WHEN THEY USE TE OR TI WITH EACH OTHER TOO! In da other tv program, the speaker asked this boy about that as well. Then, they used informal you between each other . Then, Bence Tordai said he had read the Rules of the Parlament. He said, they didn't find rule about informal you in the parlament! So da truth is that they, politician could have use the informal you each other EVERYWHERE, IN THA CONCILROOM TOO! EVENTOUGH, THEY COULD USE IT FOR PRESIDENT AS WELL! IF I HAVE TIME, I WILL TELL IT IN GERMAN O ITALIAN AS WELL! OK? Guten Abend! Sowie ich hatte das Ihnen versprochen, ich werde diesen Text auf deutsch sagen: Im ungarischem Parlament, im Hauptzimmer, wan politikern "arbeiten" sie müßn das Siezenform nutzen. Ich weis s nicht, earum. I fand es Blödheit bitte! Leider ich sa ein Video. Aber dem jungen polikern hatte Warheit. Der zwittenpresident des parlamentd, janosch latorzai haltete die Sitzung am Abend! Der jungere politiker, Benze Tordai hatte einen Brif dem mp, ministerpresident gelesen. Der Brief wurde mit dem Duzenform geschrieben gewesen! Ok, es hätte kein pronlem, aber leider s gibt eine hurren und blöde Regel: Duzen verboten. Der politiker, der in dr Oposition satze, hatte den Brief vorgelesen. Wan r hat das Lesen ängefangen, der president haltete ihm. Zuerst nur sagte daß r mus die Regeln folgen! Ok, tordai fing lesen an wieder. Die folgende Sätze war im Duzenform. Ja, aber der president haltete ihm wieder an! Ok, der president sagte daß duzen verboten durch die Sitzung. Ok, der politiker hat die andre Teile des Briefs im Siezenform gelesen. Danach, wir, ungarischen hatten einen politische TV-Kanal, die Eko Tv gehabt. Das existiert nicht mer! Der Kanal hatte einen Morgensprogram. Der dahrer des programs hat Benze Tordai eingeladen. Ja, wan Tordai war hinsetzen, r fragte: Dürfen wir duzen einandern bitte? Der fahrer, der Riporter sagte, nein, denn s zerstört ihm. Danach, ein andere Kanal, also existert nicht mer, hies ATV, Egon Ronai hat ihm eingeladen. Ich weis es nicht warum aber sie duzten einander . Ja, sie raden über Duzen im Parlament. Ja und der politiker sagte daß r hauptlich duzt die politiker. Andereseits, im Hall, sie schon können duzen einandern. Z b, im Hauptzmmer, durch die Sitzung sie sagen, gehrte her president, guten tag, se gehrtes Haus, bitte sein in Stille, und so weiter. Aber im Hall, in der Koridor sagen sie hallo, wie gehts dir, was machst, usw.
