Hello everyone.
Welcome to this Bizmates Words and Phrases video series.
And today's idiom is a question of.
I like this idiom because it makes you kind of sound intelligent
when you use it.
OK I'll show you how we can use
this, but first let's do our test. OK, so.
We're colleagues and you know every day
we have our chourei or our regular meeting.
And I say to Taro. Or I say to you, can I try
something different in the next chourei?
I want to try something different. You know,
away from the usual routine. And you say,
that's right. I wouldn't go against the grain
if I were you. We usually do it this way.
Let's stick with the same style. OK, I hope
you got that. OK, let's go on to today's idiom,"a question of"
Now here's what I sometimes hear.
Now let's imagine that we are having
trouble with another partner company. OK.
And I say to Taro.
"We're having trouble with this partner company. You know. Shall we continue
doing business with this partner? "
Maybe we shouldn't. And Taro says,
"Well Hika, do we trust this partner or not? "
You know, that's the most important point.
Do we trust them or not? OK, it's a fair question.
But it's really direct. And to sound a little bit indirect
and to sound a little bit intelligent,
you know, we can use this idiom, like this.
So I say, Taro,
"Shall we continue doing business
with this partner or shall we just cut ties?"
And Taro says,
"Well Hika, it's a question of trust."
OK, right. That's a good point.
So that's the most important thing.
If we trust them, yeah we should.
If we don't trust them, maybe we shouldn't.
OK thanks for your advice, Taro. Perfect. A question of trust.
OK, so. Let's look at pronunciation.
It's a question of trust. It's a question of trust.
You try. Good OK. And with my question. So
shall we continue doing business with this partner? Right.
That's a good point, Taro.
Thanks for your advice. Perfect. OK so, for
homework. Next time I will ask you. Shall
we continue doing business with this partner?
And you say, It's a question of trust. Please
remember this and we will see you next time.
Thank you.
