English sarcasm - What They Really Mean

[@ladyvincenza]

Finally, someone defines sarcasm correctly.

[@st11p6-golisrobertken9]

Is "Karma lmao" sarcasm? I swear someone told me that and she said she was being sarcastic???

[@Koragh_]

Am i the only that think sacarsm is pointlessand make you sound like a complainer

[@Sebyllis7350k]

This comment is totally not sarcasm.

[@Vemon564]

Thx for teaching us this, now I can Come across as intelligent and funny at The same time! Wow

[@statusforu9930]

The way they explained sarcasm is so good 👍 what do you say isn't it sarcasm what I say😂🤣

[@Drawmatic]

I didn’t look up this vide because I don’t understand what sarcasm is; I looked it up because I wanted to know how to define it.

[@mogatamaban4670]

Now I understand it clearly! Thank you so much

[@nerkou2016]

when i learned sarcasam it was in a cartoon show when i was a kid... im so glad i watched that cartoon lol

[@XxbunnyxX..]

Wait really me too!

[@SomebodysVincent]

Or, you know, say it how it is. As a person with an ASD we often can't hear and understand the intonation of what they are saying, and so we end up like he does (dependig on who it is).

[@agent_sus3273]

Oh yeah. I’ve gotten into trouble by overreacting to things I perceived as being serious but was actually sarcasm. I’m good at using it, bad at identifying it apparently.

[@kitsun3kun]

@@agent_sus3273 same here but slightly different where I said something honest and serious and they said I was sarcastic that made me watch vids like this lmao

[@banann69]

I finally understood 😭

[@johnrainsman6650]

I guess this doesn't count as sarcasm, but I might as well ask. A manager at my last job made me feel patr onized. One day, she was giving me a firm lecture on filter in the office. And yeah, I'm sure she was right in some ways--I do make mistakes--but she didn't put in room for respect and delicacy. This is one of those being-right-VS-being-kind situations, I feel. She didn't even tell me _what_ I said at work that was upsetting. I don't know if any bantering was misunderstood, or if I accidentally started a sensitive topic, or if I inadvertently made a thoughtless joke. It was all vague. And she said I could only talk about work and school. She even said to her fellow manager "Is there anything you want to add?" *_right in front of me._* Now here's where the possible sarcasm or patronzation occurs: the next day, she said "How are you?" You can't just get in someone's face and make them look fooIish, and then ask them how they are the _next_ day. *_Of course_* I wasn't doing well. Was she making fun of me or something?

[@naal5681]

Imo i think the last examples made alot more sense.

[@tammytsang3487]

English sarcasm is truly hard for non- native speakers.

[@ShlisaShell]

Sounds more like negativity to me.

[@suomynona7261]

Yeah there is totally no humor in it at all 😉

Smells like a cupcake to me, lol.

[@riju6117]

*Sarcasm=making Jokes of*

[@juho5282]

Yes and no. Sarcasm is one way of joking but not all jokes are sarcasm.

[@the_gratefulgamer]

Sarcasm - addressing the irony of a person, place, thing or situation or discovery/observation. Sometimes with the purpose to be humorous, express one's feelings or thoughts subtly, to mock or show contempt for any person place, thing and or situation.

[@Krucezam]

Please explain difference between irony vs sarcasm

[@feelinggood4537]

Thank you 😊 this really helped me :)

[@Alias_Salia]

i think you got irony and sarcasm mixed up in some examples: irony is just stating the opposite without any real intentions of hurting someone's feelings - the weather is great today (when it's not), irony is like soft, good-natured humour, white magic sarcasm is saying something opposite with the intention of hurting or at least pointing out some bad behaviour in another person (you did a great job tidying up here - you did not and i expect you to do better next time, or at least feel ashamed now ;), sarcasm is like black magic fireballs you hurl at your opponents)

[@shrewdy]

Ty for the video I understand now!

[@TheBullOfLewisham]

Thank you ..... 🌹🌹

[@GenericLifts]

This video is too funny

[@vdrux7739]

[@TheRojo387]

The subtitles ought to have the sarcasm point, "(!)", end sarcastic statements. ("Ah, it's nice to see the weather's fantastic again(!)")

[@nathanchisupa3960]

I still don’t understand but it helped somehow

[@lucijaguan4784]

Hi, BBC Learning English! I find the man in this video speaks too fast. I tried to copy his pace, but couldn't keep up. Especially when he said' I've had enough of being stuck inside today.' All I could hear was stuck inside. Can you give me give me some advice please?

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Lucija Guan. It might be easier for you to read the transcript and watch the video again. You'll find it here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/experiment/unit-1/session-34

[@VivianDonkoh-nh3hm]

I told my friend some harsh words when i got angry, and he replied to me , that's sarcasm . pls sir , what did he mean i don't understand

[@Pduarte79]

1:08 So what's the difference between sarcasm and irony?

[@ssik9460]

The element

[@thelavina]

the difference should be in the fact that sarcasm is used to insult, it has a negative intent behind it, while irony is neutral. its a very fine line but i would say the example in this video is ironic, not sarcastic

[@GldnClaw]

I'm a native English speaker, but maybe I have a touch of the 'tism because I just see this as hostile communication that shouldn't be expressed. It's particularly distasteful to me.

[@ipraku]

I love english.

[@bbclearningenglish]

That's great! We have many videos, guides and quizzes on our website you might like: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish

[@ricecakemadness7578]

[@CosmosWorld]

It's called irony in my country...

[@daoul40]

Is it possible to use sarcasm when we wright?

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hi Saliha Daoul. It's possible to do it but be careful - it's easy to be misinterpreted because the reader will not have the clues for intonation, etc.

[@daoul40]

BBC Learning English , thanks a lot.

[@DarkHelixia]

No, written English is totally different from spoken English, it's like another language ...

[@erfanakbar1263]

British have the most ''BEAUTIFUL accent''

[@RichardGolD-wz3is]

This is Pretty Interesting Sarcasm is Oftenly used by Stand up Comedy show Research in America indicate Many Comedian have better IQ n EQ rather than Average Peoples... I don't think British has Liberty or Democracy 😂 God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mattie1500]

This is how im sometimes 😂🙂

[@jeffbaer5851]

Jeepers H Crackers, yet ANOTHER site that misses the definition of sarcasm... at least until the end examples... See how the comments at the end were directed at another person's behavior? THAT'S sarcasm. It's specifically intended to put someone else down to their face, while using words that are denotatively positive. Why do so many people screw that up? The other examples (about the weather) are of VERBAL IRONY. Saying the opposite of one's intended meaning to describe a situation, to put oneself down, to make an observation about life... NOT SARCASM. Verbal irony. Saying something snarky TO or ABOUT another person for the sole purpose of putting them down.... SARCASM. Or, more succinctly put: "You KNOW these video makers MUST be correct in their definition of sarcasm because BRITISH people are ALWAYS SOOOOOOO smart... How PERRRRFECT and wise they all are. Pure GEEEEEENIUS." Now THAT'S sarcasm.

Clearly you have some stuff going on.

Hi Habin sha. Sarcasm is where people say the opposite of what they really mean, often when they don't like something. You'll find the transcript and a quiz here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/experiment/unit-1/session-34
