[Music] Hey everyone, welcome back to the Max and Mia podcast. I'm Max. And I'm Mia. We're so excited to have you here with us today. How's it going, Mia? How's your day treating you? Honestly, it's been non-stop. I had to run so many errands today. Grocery shopping, picking up packages. I barely had time for lunch. Or same here. It's been one of those crazy busy days where you just feel like you're constantly rushing from one thing to the next. Totally. And honestly, that's just real life, right? Which actually ties perfectly into today's episode. Exactly. Today, we're diving into 100 of the most common everyday English phrases. These are the real natural expressions that people actually use, not just textbook stuff. Right? Sometimes you can study grammar for years, but if you don't know these everyday phrases, conversations can still feel super awkward. Yeah, because native speakers use a lot of shortcuts, slang, and expressions that don't always make sense literally. So, if you want to sound more fluent, more natural, or even just understand movies, songs, and casual conversations better, this episode is for you. Plus, learning these phrases makes speaking way faster and more fun. All right, let's jump right in. All right, first up, got to go. Got to go is a quick and casual way to say I have to leave or I need to go right now. Exactly. Instead of saying the full I have got to go, people just mash it together. Got to go super fast, super common. And you'll hear it everywhere in movies, on the street, even in text messages. Yeah, it's super useful when you're in a rush and don't have time for long goodbyes. Here's a simple example. Oh no, my bus is here. Got to go. Talk to you later. Or like imagine you're hanging out with friends and suddenly you remember you left the oven on at home. You'd be like, "Oops, got to go." Right? Or even when you're just tired of a conversation, but you know, politely. So remember, got to go is fast, casual, and supernatural. It's a must know phrase. All right, that's one down, 99 to go. Let's keep moving. All right, next up. I'm good, thanks. This one's super easy. It's just a polite way to say no thank you or I'm fine. Yeah, like when someone offers you something, food, help, whatever, and you don't need it. Exactly. For example, if someone says, "Do you want some coffee?" you can just say, "I'm good. Thanks." simple, polite, and very common in everyday conversations. You're right. Let's go with the next one. Next phrase, no worries. This basically means it's okay or don't worry about it. It's super casual. Yeah. Like if someone apologizes for being late, you can just say, "No worries." Exactly. It's a friendly way to let someone know everything's fine. Quick, easy, and very natural. That's right. All right, moving on to our next phrase. what's going on. This is a super common way to ask someone what's happening like what's the situation or how things are going. Yeah, it's similar to asking what's happening or even just how are you, but it sounds a bit more casual and a little more curious. And you can use it in so many situations like if you walk into a room and people are laughing or acting weird, you can just say, "What's going on?" Exactly. Or even if you get a strange text from a friend, you might call them and say, "Hey, what's going on? Are you okay?" It can be serious or casual, depending on how you say it. Right? Tone is super important. If you say it with a big smile, it's friendly. Hey, what's going on? But if you say it with a serious face, it can mean, "Is there a problem?" So, just remember, it's flexible. Use it with friends, family, or even in a more serious moment. Yeah, super handy. I think I say what's going on like 10 times a day. Same. It's just one of those phrases that fits everywhere. Next up, I'm just messing with you. This one's super fun. It basically means I'm joking or I'm not being serious. Yeah, if you tease someone or make a fake serious comment and then you want to let them know it's not real, you just say, "I'm just messing with you." For example, if I said, "Hey, Mia, they canled the weekend." And you freak out. I'd be like, "Relax. I'm just messing with you." It's a friendly way to joke around, but it's important to say it so people know you're not being mean. Definitely always good to make it clear you're just playing. All right, let's move on to the next one. I'm beat. This is a super common way to say, "I'm really tired." Yeah, like when you've had a long day at work or you just finished a workout, you can just say, "Man, I'm beat." It's way shorter and sounds way more natural than saying I'm very tired. For example, after running errands all day like we both did today. I'm beat. Exactly. It's casual. It's quick. And it sounds just like a native speaker. All right. Deep breath, but no naps yet. We've still got more phrases coming up. Let's keep it moving. Next up, hang on a sec. This one's super casual and it means wait a moment or give me a second. Yeah.

And it's one of those phrases that you use when you want to emphasize just how hungry you are. Like if it's been hours since you ate, you might say it to get a reaction from someone. Yeah. You're not just saying, "I'm hungry." You're telling the world that you need food, like right now. It's perfect for when you're really craving something.

It's a way of expressing disappointment or regret. It's a great phrase for when things don't turn out the way you expected. If your plans fall through or something goes wrong, what a bummer really captures that feeling of disappointment. And it's casual, so it works well with friends or in informal situations. You wouldn't want to say it in a really serious or formal conversation, but it's perfect for everyday situations. Yep. It's that perfect little phrase to express that uh that sucks feeling without sounding too negative. Next phrase. I'm feeling under the weather. This is one people use when they're not feeling well, right? Yep. Exactly. I'm feeling under the weather is a way of saying that you're not feeling 100%. It's a polite or softer way to say you're sick or unwell. Right. You might say this if you have a cold or just aren't feeling your best, but you don't want to go into all the details of being sick. It's a more gentle way to explain it. So, if you wake up with a sore throat or a headache and you're not feeling like your usual self, you'd say, "I'm feeling under the weather." instead of saying something too specific about your symptoms. And it works really well in both casual and semiformal conversations. If you need to excuse yourself from work or school because you're not feeling great, you can say this. Exactly. It's a great way to communicate that you're a bit off without diving into the details of your illness. Okay, next one. Cut it out. This is a fun one. Yeah. Cut it out is what you say when you want someone to stop doing something, especially if they're being annoying or playful in a way that's getting out of hand. Exactly.

It's a bit of a playful command, but it can also be serious if the situation calls for it. It's a way to set boundaries or let someone know they're pushing it.

This is one we use when we want people to feel comfortable, right? Exactly. Make yourself at home is a polite and friendly way of saying feel free to relax and treat this place like it's your own. It's used to make guests feel welcome. So if you invite someone over to your house, you might say make yourself at home to let them know they can be comfortable and act as if they're in their own space. Yeah, you could offer them a drink, tell them where the bathroom is, and then say, "Make yourself at home." It's a great way to show that you want them to feel relaxed and at ease.
