Hello everyone! Justin here and welcome
back to another Bizmates for Beginners
0:00:05.850,0:00:10.440
video lesson. Where every week we
introduced a new idiom, phrase, or
0:00:10.440,0:00:15.570
expression that you can use in your
daily business conversation. And this
0:00:15.570,0:00:21.660
week everyone, we are going to learn: In
The Bag. In the bag, okay. So what does
0:00:21.660,0:00:27.060
this mean how do we use it, let's find
out. But first as always, let's begin with
0:00:27.060,0:00:33.360
a quick review of last week's lesson.
Alright everyone, so imagine I say: Wow,
0:00:33.360,0:00:40.800
the exchange rate dropped again! And your response is: Yes, well of course, because
0:00:40.800,0:00:46.530
something like that changes very often.
So if something changes or can change
0:00:46.530,0:00:53.070
very quickly, how do you say that using
the expression from last week. I'll give
0:00:53.070,0:01:02.340
you five seconds to think about it. Are
you ready? Okay, go! Alright, and time is up.
0:01:02.340,0:01:07.530
If you said: Yes. It can change on a dime!
Then that's exactly right.
0:01:07.530,0:01:12.960
Well done and thank you for remembering
last week's class. Okay everyone, so let's
0:01:12.960,0:01:18.060
move on to: In The Bag. Now, this is what I
sometimes hear. Alright, again I'm
0:01:18.060,0:01:23.070
speaking to my good friend and colleague
taro, and I say: Taro, so how are the
0:01:23.070,0:01:29.520
negotiations? Can we get the contract? So
taro has been working very hard recently,
0:01:29.520,0:01:34.470
he's been trying to negotiate a deal
with one of our business partners. So
0:01:34.470,0:01:40.560
how's it going? Is it going to be
successful? Tao says: Yes! It will be
0:01:40.560,0:01:47.000
successful result! Okay, good. Alright, so
I can understand that it's going to be
0:01:47.000,0:01:52.079
successful, it's going to work out so
this is fine. However, you might hear a
0:01:52.079,0:02:00.030
native English speaker use this
expression. Yes! It's in the bag! Alright,
0:02:00.030,0:02:06.780
so whenever you are sure something is
going to be successful, or you are sure
0:02:06.780,0:02:13.360
you are going to achieve something it is
in the bag. Okay?
0:02:13.360,0:02:18.310
So for example, maybe I went to a job
interview the other week so my friend
0:02:18.310,0:02:23.620
asks me: So, do you think you got the job?
And I say: Yeah! It's pretty much in the
0:02:23.620,0:02:27.730
bag. It means, yeah pretty much
I think they're going to offer me the
0:02:27.730,0:02:33.610
job. Okay. Or did we get a good deal? Say
yeah, yeah it's pretty much in the bag.
0:02:33.610,0:02:39.190
So yes, it's going to be successful, yes
we are going to get a positive result, so
0:02:39.190,0:02:45.340
it is in the bag. Okay, so whenever you
are sure something is going to work out
0:02:45.340,0:02:49.709
positively, you are going to achieve
something it's in the bag.
0:02:49.709,0:02:55.030
Okay, so pronunciation very simple. So
please repeat after me: Yes!
0:02:55.030,0:03:02.320
It's in the bag! In the bag, okay. Your
turn, go ahead. Very good. Now after my
0:03:02.320,0:03:10.120
question: So how are the negotiations? Do
you think we can get the contract? - Yes!
0:03:10.120,0:03:15.310
It's in the bag! Okay, perfect.
Alright, so please remember this for
0:03:15.310,0:03:21.760
our review next week. Okay, so our bonus
question this week is another way to say:
0:03:21.760,0:03:26.560
Together Think. Alright, if you know what
the answer is please leave it in the

the answer is, but you're curious to find
