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.
