ল্যাঙ্গুয়েজ কর্নার ॥ Issue 260: 10 Positive Words & Expressions in American English

আজকের ইংরেজী লেসনে সবাইকে স্বাগতম! আমেরিকান ইংলিশে বহুল ব্যবহৃত দশটি শব্দ/এক্সপ্রেশন নিয়ে আমাদের আজকের পর্বটি সাজানো হয়েছে। ইংরেজী মুভি বা গল্পের বই-এ এসব শব্দ হরহামেশাই পাওয়া যায়। আশা করি পাঠকদের কাজে লাগবে। 1. ON CLOUD NINE When people want to express a sense of total happiness. Example: When I graduated from college, I was on cloud nine! 2. GENEROUS A generous person is someone who is willing to give or show more kindness to others than expected. Example: The owner of the company is really generous with vacation time. 3. JUMP FOR JOY When an English speaker is overcome by happiness, they might tell you that they feel as if they could jump for joy. They might literally do so or just smile really big! Example: When I sign the lease on my new apartment, Im going to jump for joy! 4. HONORED When someone gets a promotion or an opportunity to do something for someone they deeply respect, then they might use the word honored. To be honored by something or someone is to regard with respect. Example: Im honored to accept this position in the company and will work hard to make the team proud! 5. GRIN FROM EAR TO EAR If youve ever seen someone who has a very wide smile and looks extremely content, then youve seen someone grinning from ear to ear. Use this expression to describe someones look after they just got engaged or an important life event. Example: After she said yes to his proposal, he was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear for weeks after. 6. BACK ON YOUR FEET This is a common English expression that youll hear after someone recovers from sickness or illness. Its positive and describes a persons successful recovery. Example: Im happy to see you back on your feet only a week after your surgery! 7. MUSIC TO YOUR EARS If you hear something that makes you really happy, often what someone else has said, then use this English expression. When something is music to your ears, its something that you love to hear. Example: All the compliments from my last project were like music to my ears. 8. HAPPY AS A CLAM When someone is incredibly happy, they might say that they are happy as a clam. Youll want to use this when someone brings you excessive happiness, like after major positive events in your life. Example: Traveling across the world makes me happy as a clam. 9. ADMIRE Everyone has people in their life that they look up to. In English, you can use the word admire when trying to explain who you respect the most in your life. Example: I admire people who are generous and kind. 10. JAW DROPPING A positive jaw dropping experience is one that leaves someone breathless in extreme happiness. Example: The teams jaws dropped after finishing a three-year project. Quote on life: Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. ~ Mother Teresa Dear learners, stay happy and make others happy!
