I'm sick and tired of all the mumbo jumbo on the internet, with all the hustle and bustle and people fighting tooth and nail in the commands. But this video was live and learn to me. First and foremost I liked your presentation which was loud and clear. The nitty gritty part was that you kept it pure and simple. I was born and bred in the Netherlands and with this teaching little by little and step by step my English will become good and proper until sooner or later I will so much sound like a native speaker that even my own flesh and blood won't recognize me. But all in all and by and large, to make this command short and sweet, I've tried and tested the binomial pairs in this command far and wide but maybe I've overdone it a little 😋

[@shivashankaripasupathy6451]

Great job Wilma 👍 Please note. The word comment is better suited than command.

[@wilma8326]

Thanks for the feedback, I see the mistake now and will probably remember the difference now 👍

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Amazing. That's far and away the best comment I've read on binomial pairs

[@aktanakhmetov]

Excellent!

[@rogercarl3969]

Three of these uses I would express differently: "Beg, steal or borrow" I know as "beg, borrow or steal;" "down and about" as "down and out;" and "no ifs and buts" as "no ifs, ands or buts." The rest were very clear and would use them the same way. From western Canada here.

[@Meijimack]

Whoa! I only know binomials as a mathematical term. But binomials, also known as Siamese twins, binomial pairs, (irreversible binomials, nonreversible word pairs or freezes) in the English language refer to a pair or group of words used together as an idiomatic expression or collocation, usually conjoined by the words "and" or "or."

[@sadhanasahasrabuddhe5130]

Time and again I searched and searched and finally found this meaningful video. Thank you sir. Binomials make a sentence interesting.

[@hatienchu7233]

The term "binomial" reminds me of the famous theorem from sir Isaac Newton. Newton's binomial expansion theorem and Pascal's triangle theorem are kind of flesh and blood. In my imagination, the two great mathematicians wine and dine together pretty often in heaven to give birth new formulas. Oh I think I have enough mumbo jumbo already. Anyway, I enjoyed the lesson very much. Thank you so much.

[@cyberoptic5757]

better: flesh and blood.

You do know bi stands for 2 and tri for 3 right? Binoculars, triangle, etc. Then comes tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, and so.

Now and then I learn a thing or two from your videos, Gideon; and it's this humility, knowing that all in all, we're forever learning, that enables me to get down and dirty with my students, with confidence.

Curious fact, we use many of these phrases in Russian, and they mean literally the same.

Same for french ! For example "tooth and nail" is "bec et ongles" in french. "Ups and downs" ==> "des hauts et des bas" "Time After Time" ==> "jour après jour" "Safe and sound" ==> "sain et sauf"

Thanks for your videos, they're brilliant. As a native English speaker I'm finding your videos fascinating, and educational. And it's a nice break from the the daily cut and thrust. There are so many phrases that I've not even thought about before. Also, the approaches to learning multiple languages for different purposes was an eye opener. I can just about get by in French, or at least I can smile and nod and say oui, at a pinch. And I have a smattering of Spanish with dribs and drabs of German. The phrase "culture culture" I haven't ever heard on daily use. But there are different parts of the UK with different words and phrases.
