Thank you for the origin part! I'm a Polish native speaker. When I was in high school, my English teacher used to quote some words, supposedly having the same origin between Polish and English, which sound implausible to me at that time to be true. Now, seeing and hearing the Proto-Germanic 'hwilo', a perfect in-between word for English 'a while' and the Polish equivalent 'chwila', my recently discovered passion for linguistics, etymology and European language flourishes again ;) Your amazing work is amazing!

Oh, I love etymology as well! So interesting!

Buoy up ___ to encourage somebody. Stave off__ to avoid something bad or unpleasant from happening. While away__ pass your time pleasantly and doing some leisurely activity, chill away. Pipe down__ be silent or let others do their own stuff. Claw back___ to regain something (such as money or power) back..... Literally take back with great affort.

You've just given me a fascinating visualization of quite difficult to remember phrasal verbs and I've remembered them without any difficulties! You're a perfect teacher, many thanks!

These are all great, and I agree that it will be easier for learners to remember them when the number of new items in the video is not too many and when the origins and photos are shared to help the information stick. 👏

Thank you for your videos! I didn't know most of these. I think you're right about the amount of new vocabulary learnt at once. I'll have to get back to you on that and see if I can claw back the knowledge I'll highly likely lose haha

Hi , Ben ! Thank you for this ! I think the explanation of the origin of phrasal verbs is really useful also for remembering the phrasal verbs themselves . " with the phrasal verbs is fundamental to understand the context " or something like that you told us in another video , do you remember ? I agree with that . Thanks again!

Hello, Ben! Thank you for amazing and really useful video. I also want to say that I very like whiling away my time watching you. There are other examples: my parents frequently buoy me up when I have some troubles. I always try to stave off arguments with my friends. He suddenly piped down when his mother came into the room. It's meaningless to try to claw back the time

Hi, Ben! Recently started watching your videos and it really grips me! Here are my examples: 1. The news in every newspaper really lets me down, but I just keep on whiling away with something that buoys me up to stave off from being down. 2. Concerning the current political situation, we need not to pipe down our thoughts and claw back the peaceful sky above our heads.

Hello Ben, I do enjoy your vids, Thx so much. One question plz, most of my customers are from USA (I'm a licensed tour guide in Paris), do you think that those English phrasal verbs are perfectly understandable by them averagely (the qst is also applicable for your other videos and ofc, I do not underestimate american language but it is sometimes slightly different) Or are they typically very "British" expressions? Thx in advanced for your answer. Cheers AH

@tothepointenglishwithben.

People from the US should know and understand the vocabulary in my videos

What an excellent video! I found ’to while away’ especially interesting because in Polish, which I’m currently studying, ’chwila’ means a while, which is very close to that hwile/hwilo. In Polish ’ch’ is pronounced as ’h’. Always fascinating to find these kinds of links between languages that are otherwise very far apart. For example there is a word in Polish ’wihajster’ which you call an object that you don’t know what to call. And it comes straight from German ’wie heißt er?’ = what’s his name?

@katarzynajadam1689

2 жыл бұрын

I'm Polish and I have to say, that I was stunned, that Polish "chwila" and English "while", must have the same origin. I haven't noticed before, how similar those two words are. And "wihajster"! Now, when you pointed out that it comes from German it's obvious. It's such a weird, bizzare word, but it never came to my mind, that it's derived from "wie heisst er" (and I used to learn German). Thank you Ben, for not only improving my English, but also teaching some Polish words etymology! 🙂
