Hey, everyone! Welcome to this Bizmates words and phrases video series
and today's phrase is
I beg to differ.
Well, you know "differ," "different," and "beg..."
please, please, please...
So what happens when
we put these two words together?
I beg to differ.
OK, well first let's do our review test.
So last time I asked you this:
Tell me about a time that you were out
of line at work
We've all done it before. We kind of, you know,
go beyond the rules.
We might bend a rule or break a rule,
and get in trouble
Tell me about that time, okay?
Five seconds. Go!
I see. Bad boy
We've all done it, right? And our boss
kind of puts us back in line.
OK, so please remember that idiom
be out of line.
OK, so let's go on to today's phrase
I beg to differ.
Now here's what I sometimes hear:
OK, so let's imagine I'm making a comment
and giving my opinion and I say:
I think the yen is going to get stronger.
You know, the yen is strong now
well I think it's going to get stronger.
And Taro says:
You're wrong.
It'll get weaker. OK, now this actually
happened at my office, so i'm using it as
an example where I make a comment and
someone says "Hika, you're wrong."
OK, if you disagree with me
it's OK, you know, you say
You know, I disagree. I think this...
But to tell somebody that they are wrong. "You're wrong."
That's not good. That's rude, right?
so we don't want to tell somebody that
they are wrong
when they're just expressing their opinion.
So a better way to do this is like this,
so if I say:
You know I think the yen is going to get stronger.
Yeah, I think so.
And Taro says:
Well, Hika, I beg to differ.
I think...
Perfectly fine. It's not rude.
Taro just disagrees with me. Cool.
OK, so let's remember that phrase.
If someone makes a comment like an opinion
and you disagree you could say
Well, I big to differ.
Okay? Kind of a polite way to disagree.
OK, pronunciation it's not "I be-GG to
differ" but it's I be(g) to differ.
That G is really, really soft.
I beg to differ. I beg to differ.
Alright, you try...
Good. OK, with my sentence:
So I think the yen is going to get stronger.
OK, you think so. I see.
Perfect.
OK, so for homework next time I will say:
I think the yen is going to get stronger
and you just say...
I beg to differ.
OK, please remember that and we will
see you next time. Thank you.
and today's phrase is
