Use this Simple Trick to Master ENGLISH Verbs and PHRASAL VERBS [SATELLITE FRAMING]

[@mariacebrecos303]

I really appreciate this master class. You're a top-notch teacher, and you know it. Stay healthy and mellow.

[@LiborSupcik]

I found in rather futile, though

[@zebuloncarbonari9571]

Probably one of the best et most useful english grammar lesson I ever had. I finally understood a structural difference between English and French that is fundamental.

[@NicoCueas]

This lesson was very interesting. Regarding that "flying to Taipei" sentence, yes, in Spanish you can't say flying, because it is interpreted as literally flying instead of "travel by an airplane". I usually have problems when I have to redact a formal letter in english for the same reason I think. It's a different mindset and way to structure sentences, and it's great to know it. Thank you as always.

[@markdonovan1540]

Excellent, I don't remember being told this on my TESOL teacher training course. It makes a lot of sense. Phrasal verbs are such a problem for Spanish people, where I teach in Madrid, now I have a better idea why. Thank you.

[@minusvanbaalen]

Nice! Made me rummage around in my mostly forgotten set of Slavic verbs that do not even have 'to go' without specifying a manner.

[@zoria2718]

They do have, with the Ukrainian language as an example (oher Slavic languages have parallel forms as well): рухатися, рушити (move - i.e. to go, drive, fly, sail etc), прямувати (move towards something), йти (walk), їхати (drive or go by car, train etc). Other go-verbs - yes - are more specific like крокувати (walk step by step), нестися (rush) etc.

[@vit.budina]

Czech (together with other Slavic languages) is quite interesting with this, for it uses a verb (to walk/go - jít), onto which it sticks prefixes (to walk in - vejít; to walk out - vyjít; to walk away - odejít; to walk down - sejít...), thus making the language somewhat in between the two definitions. We do, however, have quite a lot of synonyms for many of these words. These prepositions often work as directional prepositions though, so I'd say Czech is a satellite-framed language.

[@Tony32]

Thank you Gideon for the link to the podcast, that will get me through until you upload a new episode of Zeitgeist Banana. I always loved that make-your-own-phrasal-verb feature of English. But it can confuse the heck out of ESL students. In the song "Dreamer" by Ozzy Osbourne he says: "I dream my life away." Most native English speakers know exactly what he means even if they never heard that phrase before. But it's pretty much untranslatable into Spanish, not in a short sentence anyway. I read somewhere that the phrasal verb "power down" was invented by the airlines, because they thought "turn off" sounded to bossy and rude. "Please power down your phones" sounded more polite than "Please turn off you phones" Again, I bet most native speakers didn't even notice this was a new way of saying "Turn off" Great video! 👍👍👍

[@wildebeest773]

Interesting! I would say though if I may that the real purpose for the invention of "power down" by the airlines might have been to avoid the use of "turn on" by the crew so as not to unintentionally trigger any erotic fantasy amonn the passengers.

[@othernicksweretaken]

I have been administering Unix/Linux systems since when we still pampered our servers as individual bare metal devices, long before the rife virtualisation trend of today and even before the widespread use and availability of mobile phones to the masses. Back in those days the phrases _to power off, power down, shut down, power cycle, reset, or reboot a host_ were common admin parlence and were used in manuals. As a fun fact, the shortest ( aliased ) command to power off a Linux host orderly (without risking data corruption) is simply _poweroff_ instead of a plethora of much more awkward "proper" commands depending on the respective init system with varying options and arguments.

[@jote3400]

Excellent video! My native language is Polish. At the very beginning of learning English I noticed the vast use of prepositions connected to verbs, which is so different from Polish. But this video literally explains phrasal verbs to the level of understanding them, and not just learn them but heart. Great thanks!

[@mitomino]

Polish and, more generally, Slavic languages are satellite-framed languages since the directionality ("down", "out", "in", etc) is not encoded in the verb root as in Romance (cf. Spanish "bajar", "salir", "entrar", etc) but is a prefix. So English "run in" would be "in-run" in Polish/Slavic (cf. Spanish "entrar corriendo", i.e. 'enter running'). So in satellite-framed languages the directionality can be a particle (English/Germanic: "run in") or a prefix (Polish/Slavic: "in-run"). In contrast, in verb-framed languages the directionality is encoded in the verb root (Spanish/Romance: "enter running").

Phrasal verbs are used in day to day conversations. English speakers rely on full verbs when they need to express themselves among scholars. That's the duplicity Germanic-Latin influence in the English language.

Really interesting! As an Arabic native speaker, I say Arabic is both verb framed and satellite framed language. The attempt to translate the first sentences brought up in the video came up with a literal construction, all of which proves Arabic to be satellite framed language. But for this sentence "il est sorti la chambre en colère" in which the motion is contained in the verbs, same goes in with the Arabic translation, word by word.

Hello I am French. I think it's possible to say : Demain, je m'envole pour Taipei...pas, je vole mais je m'envole....Je pars de la pièce en courant, I don't think many French people speak this way. It looks like written French. We would say, instead: Je me précipite hors de la pièce or je dégage...Il est rentré dans la chambre en marchant..It's only written French. Nobody speaks this way. We just say : il est rentré ou entré dans la chambre. if he enters the room very slowly, we say : il s'est traîné jusqu'à la chambre and if he enters the room quickly, il s'est précipité dans la chambre ou il s'est rué dans la chambre. French is full of subtleties and really precise. We have verbs for every situation. So we don't need to add a preposition with the verb.I though up an idea : une idée m'a percutée....

[@frechjo]

Interesting concept, it makes a lot of sense. That kind of phrases are usually hard to translate into Spanish, because adding the manner to the phrase as a complement, makes it feel like it has more relevance that is should, or it's just clunky. But it will be interesting paying attention to what people do in another language: Esperanto. In it, you can do both things. For instance: "He ran into the room" → "Li kuris en la ĉambron" "He went into the room running" →"Li eniris la ĉambron kurante" (and there's a similar one, using "kuranta" as an adjective, instead of an adverb). My guess is that depending on your native or stronger languages, you'll tend to use one or the other style. I've seen a lot of the satellite framed style, but that might be mostly by English or German speakers. Maybe I haven't noticed verb framed style as much, because I'm a native Spanish speaker, and it's just the natural thing to do for me?

[@eryximaque6310]

Very relevant video. I'm flying to Berlin . In French : je prends l'avion pour Berlin or je prends un vol pour Berlin . Because, from France , you can also go by train to Berlin . So , in this case, you have to be more precised. But for " je vais à Taipei" , it works.

Hi, I just want to say that, despite being a native English speaker, I really enjoy your lessons. I am currently learning the Irish language, and I find your insights on language learning to be quite useful in helping my mind to comprehend language in interesting and abstract ways. Someday I hope to become a teacher of Irish, so your teaching techniques are also something I am learning from. Don't worry, if I nick anything you've done here for my own classes, I will give due credit, and not pass it off as my own. For what it's worth, I think that the Irish form of the sample phrase you gave at the beginning is: "An maith leat an taispeantas a fheicail? An fheicail tu an doras sin? Teigh isteach, agus sios, tri, trasna, timpeall, suas agus amach." (Sadly this computer will not type in Irish, so I"m having to leave out the fadas (accent marks) which are important.)

[@РайанКупер-э4о]

Russian can do both) 1 verb: идите внутрь, вниз, через, поперек, вокруг, вверх и наружу. Many verbs: войдите, спуститесь, пройдите, перейдите, обойдите, поднимитесь и выйдите. But an ordinary russian native would say "войдите в дверь, спуститесь по лестнице, пройдите вперёд, перейдите через пути, обойдите постамент, поднимитесь на эскалаторе и выйдите за дверь". It's 2nd way but with specifications. I don't know why it is when you can explain all you need without them but they are. UPD1: The specifications I chose randomly.

[@brenodemorais535]

You were right, Gideon, In Portuguese, that starting sentence would be said: Você quer ver o espetáculo? Vê aquelas portas? Entre, desça, siga, atravesse, contorne, suba e saia. All of the to go phasal verbs are expressed differently, they are individual verbs.

[@clementinafornasari2914]

Brillant very very useful. Thankyou

[@prok0309]

Hi Guidion. How about russian? How should we classify it? There are features of both verb- and sattelite-framing. Or is it a third category?

[@mitomino]

Russian and, more generally, Slavic languages are satellite-framed languages since the directionality ("down", "out", "in", etc) is not encoded in the verb root as in Romance (cf. Spanish "bajar", "salir", "entrar", etc) but is a prefix. So English "run in" would be "in-run" in Russian (cf. Spanish "entrar corriendo", i.e. 'enter running'). So in satellite-framed languages the directionality can be a particle (English: "run in") or a prefix (Russian: "in-run"). In contrast, in verb-framed languages the directionality is encoded in the verb root (Spanish: "enter running"). Hope it helps.

[@SEBTarutao]

As a french speaker, I would say 'je m'envole pour Taipei demain' (i am taking off to Taipei) perfectly correct to me. Maybe, thanks to many efforts my mindset is becoming english (i wish it were true) :) And by the way Kudos to Gideon for his french accent :)

[@ИльсидаАзнабаева]

I'm half Russian and a Russian native speaker. In the Russian language there are prefixes which modify the meaning of a verb and they perfectly correspond with the prepositions like "through" , "in", "down" etc., used in the introductory sentence for translation!

[@olgaraventos3649]

Aren't your examples PREPOSITIONAL VERBS? I was taught that in PHRASAL VERBS the preposition added to the verb changes its meaning like in "The car's battery RAN DOWN." Here, "ran down" would be a PHRASAL VERB as it has nothing to do with the verb "run". On the contrary, in the sentence "She RAN DOWN the hill", "ran" keeps its meaning (like in the examples you gave). So "ran down" here is a PREPOSITIONAL VERB. Thanks a lot! You're a great teacher!

[@LetThemTalkTV]

Yes you're right. I used both in this video 'walk in' is a prepositional verb but 'think up' is a phrasal verb. For the sake of simplicity I just said called them phrasal verbs.

[@AlejandroRuizPadilla]

Nice video, as usual. I find very interesting how languages and mindsets relate each other. So I'll be looking forward your next videos on the subject. As a spaniard, I've always wondered about the differences between English and Spanish and what they mean in terms of idiosyncrasy or people's mindset. One of that differences is the way we put the adjectives in relation with the noun. In Spanish we usually put the adjectives after the noun (unless it is an epithet), but in English you always put them before it. That means in Spanish we first say the thing we are talking about and then we talk about how that thing is, but in English you first describe the thing, and then you finally say what the thing is. Of course, I don't mean one of the lenguages is better or worse than the other because of that, they are simply different, but I wonder why it is this way. It would be great if you could explain it in one of your videos. Thanks in advance!

[@scottshanahan3827]

[@maxsamoilenko6896]

Ok now I know that Slavic languages are remarkable not only for double negations but also for being both verb & satelite framed at the same time. So if you meet someone who says "I entered into the room" he probably comes from Eastern Europe. And if he adds "but nobody was not there" he for sure does.

[@Luizatango]

First of all I'd like to thank you for your content. I love your videos and I use them constantly to show my students different topics you cover! I was wondering if you establish a difference between prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs? When the particle changes the meaning of the verb, they don't necessarily indicate direction, do they? I'm curious to know how we could apply this notion of satellite language to phrasal verbs like bring up or break down or take over, etc. I can see how the particle affects the verb metaphorically but I'd assume that I can't change the particle without changing completely the meaning of the verb. Would you care to comment on that?

[@LetThemTalkTV]

You're right about prepositional verbs but for the sake of simplicity I just said phrasal verbs for all. However, 'think up' and some others at the end are phrasal verbs. I would say that even phrasal verbs such as 'break down' in the sense of malfunction would fall into the category. 'break' is kind of a verb of manner and 'down' is a motion in this context meaning completely or to nothing
