Hey everyone welcome to this Bizmates

words and phrases video series and

today's idiom is "fired up."

Fire... what does this mean? We'll find out

-- this is a great idiom to use, it's short,

easy to use and you'll sound very

natural if you use it correctly. OK so

let's imagine that our company is

launching a new product. We have a new

product and Taro''s team is managing the

product, okay? Taro is the product manager...

project manager and I say: Taro is your

team ready for the product launch? Are

they ready? And Taro says: Yes, everyone is

excited. You know it's an "OK" sentence but

if you say this sentence normally like I

did, it doesn't sound like everyone is

excited. It sounds like it's not true. Now

if you say it like this...

"Yes, everyone is excited!" then it sounds

true but if you use this idiom "fired up"

that idiom already has energy,

the excitement in it. OK so you could say it

normally and still sound like it's true

like this: So Taro, is your team ready for

the product launch? And he says: Yes,

everyone's fired up. Even if he says it

normally, it sounds like everyone is

excited. OK "fired up" is it just means

excited and it's often used in like sports

you know before a soccer game, the coach

says "come on everyone get fired up! Get

excited!" OK, so it has that real strong

meaning of excitement. Great idiom.

Here's the pronunciation so it's

Everyone is fired up.
Everyone is fired up.

Simple. You try.

Good okay with my question:

Is your team ready for the product launch?

OK, great! Alright

everyone's fired up. OK so for homework

if someone says

you know "is your team ready for the

product launch?" and you want to

communicate excitement, you say...

everyone is fired up. Please remember this and

we'll see you in the next lesson. Okay, thank you.
