Hello everyone, Justin here and thank you
for tuning in to another Bizmates for
Beginners video lesson. This week
everyone we are going to learn the
expression "on the house." So maybe some of
you have heard this before and maybe
some of you haven't. So, we're going to go
through this today, so stay tuned to find
out what it means and how to use it. But
first, a quick question: Do you remember
last week's expression? If you said yes,
great because we're going to do a review.
If no, great because we're going to do a
review. So everyone imagine I asked you:
How are you doing with your next
proposal? So of course you are making
progress and your next proposal is going
well. So, how do you say that using our
expression from last week? I'll give you
five seconds okay? Are you ready?
Alright, go!
And time is up. If you said
"I'm making headway" then that's exactly
right. Good job everyone and thank you
for remembering last week's class.
OK so moving on to "on the house."
Now this is what I sometimes hear
okay so I am out at our local coffee shop with Taro
and you know we're talking about life, we're
talking about work and we're drinking
lots of coffee and I want another one.
I want another refill, so Taro he says:
Oh okay I'll I'll get you another refill.
And he goes to the counter. He comes back
and I forgot to give Taro money so I say:
Taro, sorry I forgot to give you money
for the refill. So, do we need to pay for
refills? And Taro he says: Nope, refills
are service! Great, okay so this is an
expression that I've heard used a lot
here in Japan -- "service." and unfortunately
it's a little bit difficult for people
who
haven't lived in Japan to understand
what this means.
So a more natural way of saying this is...
yes, that's right
"refills are on the house." Okay? Or you can
say "refills are free" okay? They don't
cost anything. So, they're "on the house."
So unfortunately "service" and "on the
house" ...the meaning, although it's the same.
it's quite difficult to make the
connection. So please be careful with
that expression and you can use this one
instead okay? So whenever something is
free or free of charge, it's on the house.
Alright everyone? OK so pronunciation,
it's as you see it written here this
week. On the house. Okay? So nothing
special, so please repeat after me:
Refills are on the house.
Your turn.
Exactly right. Refills are on the house.
OK now after my question:
Hey, sorry do we need to pay for refills?
OK, refills are on the house. Great. Okay
so please remember this for next time.
OK everyone? Alright, so our bonus
question this week is another way to say:
"I can finish something, something about
15 minutes later." If you know how to say
this in a more natural way, everyone
leave it in our comment box below; if you
don't know, well you can find the answer
in one of our previous Bizmates for
Beginners video lessons, so check it out
if you've got the time.
OK everyone, so that is it for me
this week. Thank you so
much for watching, as always. Have a great
weekend and I'll see you next time.
Thank you.
