#EnglishIdioms

[@Vivereftw]

Hello, I'm a native English speaker. "I have the blues" is sort of an outdated phrase that most people don't really say, at least in my experience. It is not incorrect at all, though. But "I'm sad" or "I'm upset" or "I'm bummed" or "I'm feeling down" or, if it's really bad, "I'm depressed" are all used more regularly.

[@sompaaktar1555]

If you don't mind ,can u hlp me to learn English?

[@ddruxman3579]

Exactly. The last way I'd describe that idiom is with the term "elegant." It's slang, and not even aways fitting; a bit outdated, or just for a song lyric.

[@feliexlee2581]

Every day... Every day I have the blues. Every day... Every day I have the blues. Well, you see me worry baby Because it's you I hate to lose......

[@paigeinabook4416]

"I feel blue" is a phrase that means the same thing and uses the same meaning of "blue." It still sounds old-fashioned or formal, but it sounds more normal than "I have the blues." I'm also a native speaker, hope this helps!

[@emergencyvehicle6995]

I think you should totally say I have the blues that's quite endearing

[@jamiealexander6864]

KZbin’s got me learning my OWN language😭

[@dwoktheraynejonsohn4849]

"I have the blues" is a very casual and old way of saying I'm sad. It's not elegant or with the times, but it's great to use with confidence as it makes your personality seem friendly/down to earth/old

[@jillian.x]

I think when she said elegant she had glamorous vintage films/lifestyles in mind.

[@ksrajaksraja7702]

@Abo omar ,

[@ogeI]

First tip, American English has so many different references and nicknames for things I cannot imagine how a non native could learn. But also you need to know when sayings are being used, like in this video, ive never heard a single human ever say, "I've got the blues". Nobody says that.

[@Duolingo-ly7ie]

You can do it! I’m native and I did it, lol Bc if I can you can

[@glitteringsunshine4306]

All she is doing is listing random phrases, so her "teaching technique" is really poor. So, Kumar, what does that say about your brain's ability to judge the world around you?

[@jasonmaes6021]

This lady does not talk like most Americans, she should teach her first language.

[@yuvibae]

This is my favorite channel. *I especially like it when you explain everything so nicely.* *I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life.* 💖❤💖❤👍👍👍👍💜💜💜😘😍

[@ClaireBarn]

From before the 70s: men's office clothes were a suit with a white shirt (& collar.) Most warehouse/factory workers, mechanics & anything other handy jobs usually wore blue zip on overalls with their names embroidered on their chest.

[@jzieba0204]

Yeah and it was like that because sweat stains are less visible on blue collars

[@hopeless_turkey2735]

Yes, and Wright Mills wrote "White Collars" in 1951 explaining how the middle class kept the distance and felt superior without realizing how similar they were to the working class (blue collars). I think the idioms stem from that in particular.

Native English speaker here! The ones you listed where pretty outdated. Here are some we use now: spilling the tea or spilling the beans means to tell what just happened, drama and gossip are included. A fish out of water can mean not good at something. 6 feet under means death. Cake can mean a person's buttox.

Мне очень нравиться Ваш канал. Это видео очень полезное. Хотелось бы больше таких. Но это мое субъективное мнение. Я отлично говорю по-английски, поэтому некоторые видео не несут для меня «нужной информации». Но я понимаю, что для многих это полезно! Вы делаете прекрасную работу! Это видео прекрасное напоминание знания английского/американского языка. Приятно вспомнить, что этот язык богатый. К сожалению, в стране, в которой я живу, я не могу оперировать такими языковыми оборотами, но очень приятно вспомнить, что когда нибудь мне пригодятся эти обороты. 👍🏻

[@aliciaferreyra7954]

Once on the blue moon, I miss your videos. In your KZbin channel, I find grammar out of the blue to help me to get a fluent English speaker. Once on the blue moon, I miss your videos since you don´t stop to surprise me with the novelty of the languages that I can use. You know I am white collar and don´t feel in blue because of day-to-day learning English. I appreciate your so much your help to get it.

[@commandercorner5575]

Good attempt! If you don't mind some correction: "Once in a blue moon", not "Once on the blue moon". It's not really a commonly used idiom, and definitely wouldn't be used so many times in one paragraph. "I find grammar out of the blue" is fine, but "to help me to get a fluent English speaker" is not. Instead, "to help me become a fluent English speaker", or "to help me speak English more fluently" would be correct. "White collar" is really only used to refer to a kind of worker, not an intellectual person. If you actually are an office worker or executive in a company, then you used this correctly. We wouldn't say "feel in blue", just "feel blue". I hope this helps.
