Hmm. What does it mean?
Take it anymore. Not anymore.
We'll find out in just a minute.
But first, let's do our test. OK, so remember you're carrying
a bunch of boxes, you've got a lot of boxes.
And I say, hey
are you OK with those boxes?
And you just say,
coming through. Perfect. OK.
So, let's go on to today's phrase.
I can't take it anymore.
What does this mean? Hmm.
OK. Here's what I often hear.
OK. So let's imagine that we've got this new supplier.
BX Corp. BX Corporation.
And they're making many mistakes, this new supplier.
And I say to Taro, we got the wrong order again from BX Corp.
And you can say or Taro will say,
I lose my patience. I'm going to complain.
OK, so finally, Taro is upset. He's lost. We don't say lose my,
I've lost my patience. I'm going to complain.
But yeah, it's OK. If you change it to
I've lost my patience, it's actually OK.
But the more natural way to say this is this one.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't endure this anymore.
I can't stand it anymore. OK.
So, we could say this. So if I say,
we got the wrong order again from BX Corp.
And you just say, I can't take it anymore.
I'm going to complain.
That's all, I've lost my patience.
I can't take it anymore.
OK. Natural phrase.
OK, let's look at pronunciation.
We got two t's. It's not I can't, take it anymore.
It's I cantakeit anymore. I cantakeit anymore.
And people say, but Hika, is it can or can't?
I can't catch it.
You don't need to catch it because we have anymore.
Anymore is use with the negative.
So it's I can't, of course. But you don't have
to say I can't, because anymore is already there.
So I can't take it anymore.
You try.
OK, let's try it with my sentence.
We got the wrong order again from BX Corp.
OK. I hope you got that.
OK, so for homework.
Tell me, what can't you take it anymore?
You're fed up. OK.
You have no more patience, for what?
OK. I want you to tell me in the next lesson.
You can't take your boss anymore. Or this project,
or what? You just lost your patience.
OK, tell me in the next lesson.
Thank you.
