Hello and welcome to this Bizmates
words and phrases
video series and today's phrase
is I hope I didn't offend you.
Offend you. What does this mean? We will find out
but first let's do our test. Okay.
So I'm you. Let's imagine you attended
an accounting lecture or seminar and I
say,
so how is the accounting lecture
yesterday? Did you learn many things?
You say.
That's right. It was over my head. I
didn't understand
anything. Right? I hope you got that.
Okay let's go on to today's phrase.
I hope I didn't offend you. You know
there are some times where
you're not sure if your comment
or your feedback was taken in a
positive way or negative way.
Maybe you said something and the
other person
is maybe a little bit angry. In that case
we can use this.
Okay so here's what I sometimes hear. So let's imagine Taro
gave me some feedback on my report.
I wrote a report and he checked it
for me
and he gave me some feedback and I say
Woah, a lot of red marks. Change here change this.
Change that. I say oh Taro I guess
I need to change a lot of things in my
report
And Taro says I hope you are not
angry
about my feedback. And I say no I'm not angry.
Okay it's a little bit strange here.

natural.

It's very helpful. Thank you. Its a very
natural phrase in this situation where
you

I hope I didn't offend you. Yeah just
like that.
