Hello, everyone and welcome to another
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson. And
0:00:05.850,0:00:12.330
this week everyone, we are going to learn
the expression: "to have deep pockets."
0:00:12.330,0:00:17.670
So let's find out what it means and how to
use it in our class today, but first
0:00:17.670,0:00:24.119
everyone let's do a quick review of last
week's lesson. Alright, so imagine I say:
0:00:24.119,0:00:30.000
I don't know how we can finish this
project by the deadline. I have so many
0:00:30.000,0:00:36.210
things to do. I have so much work, I
really don't know if I can finish by the
0:00:36.210,0:00:42.420
deadline. But of course you are very kind,
you want to encourage me. So what do you
0:00:42.420,0:00:47.370
say using the expression from last week?
I'll give you five seconds, okay?
0:00:47.370,0:00:49.620
You ready? Alright, go.
0:00:53.000,0:00:58.380
Alright and time is
up. If you said "if we all pitch in we can
0:00:58.380,0:01:03.120
do it" then that's exactly right.
Good job and thanks for remembering last
0:01:03.120,0:01:09.689
week's class. Alright so let's move on
to "have deep pockets." Now this is what I
0:01:09.689,0:01:15.930
sometimes hear... alright so I'm talking to
Taro, my good friend and colleague, and I
0:01:15.930,0:01:22.229
say: Taro, do you think we're asking the
client for too much money? So we're kind
0:01:22.229,0:01:27.450
of in the process of negotiating a
contract or a deal with the customer, but
0:01:27.450,0:01:33.659
our asking price is a little bit high. So
I'm a little bit worried about it. Taro
0:01:33.659,0:01:41.369
says: No. They are rich. OK, very straight
to the point. Yes, they are rich, they have
0:01:41.369,0:01:45.990
lots of money and although this is OK --
"rich" you know it's a pretty strong.
0:01:45.990,0:01:52.140
It's pretty direct form of expressing the
ideas, so I think we can use something a
0:01:52.140,0:01:58.790
little bit softer. So in this case... yes,
that's right: No. They have deep pockets.
0:01:58.790,0:02:03.930
Alright, so if your pockets are kind of shallow, you can't
0:02:03.930,0:02:10.289
really fit much money in there, but if
you have really "deep pockets" well then
0:02:10.289,0:02:13.980
that's a place to store lots of money, right?
0:02:13.980,0:02:20.610
So, if you have much money, you have really
deep pockets, OK? Alright, so the
0:02:20.610,0:02:24.599
pronunciation is as you see it here. So
please repeat after me:
0:02:24.600,0:02:28.180
They have deep pockets. Your turn.
0:02:30.940,0:02:33.000
OK, very good all right now after my
0:02:33.120,0:02:37.280
question: Do you think we're asking the
client for too much money?
0:02:40.240,0:02:45.540
Right. No. They have deep pockets. Okay.
Alright, so please remember this for
0:02:45.540,0:02:49.110
next time. Okay so our bonus question
this week everyone
0:02:49.110,0:02:55.470
is another way to say: "cannot remember."
If you can remember, you can leave it in the
0:02:55.470,0:03:00.060
comments below, but don't worry if you
have no idea, you can find the answer in
0:03:00.060,0:03:04.859
one of our previous Bizmates for
Beginners video lessons, so check it out
0:03:04.859,0:03:08.970
if you have the time. OK, everyone so that
is it for me
0:03:08.970,0:03:13.440
this week, thank you always for watching.
Have a great weekend, everyone and I'll
0:03:13.440,0:03:15.800
see you next time. Thank you.
