Describe things Better in English

Being vague in English sounds the most natural. Because, well imagine if we were super specific all the time. How old are you? Twelve thousand days old. Yeah, that would be weird. So, here are some expressions you can use when you don’t want to be precise, exact you want to express yourself better by being vague.

Page, my thingy really hers. what thingy? The thingy. The back of my throat. Uvula. Yes, that thingy. Thingy, this is what we affectionately call something which we don’t remember the name of or we just want to be vague. If you want to talk about a part of a thing use bit. For example, I broke the bit of my phone, which changes the volume I don’t know the name of this. So, I’ll call it the bit of my phone.

So, we have different expressions for different things. For example, to be vague about numbers, we use these when you want to guess huge amounts. We use the term a ballpark figure. For example, if you had to guess the population of London give me a ballpark figure. How many people live in London? Okay, um the population of London. I don’t know a ballpark figure. Maybe four million. A guesstimate. This is a portmanteau, which means two words have been combined to make one.

Those two words are guests and estimate. Some people hate this word like hate with a capital H. Hate this word. However you might hear it. You might want to say it. It’s your choice and you can use it like this. How much money do you think he makes? Don’t know. no just like a guesstimate. I don’t know. he plays football. So, like a guesstimate a million pounds a day and when you give an approximate number you can use these expressions around about more or less. Give or take.

Number or so. Number or thereabout. These all mean the same. And are used in the same way. It’s an approximate number. For example, I went to sleep around 9 o’clock last night. Not exactly 9 o’clock. Maybe a bit before. Maybe a bit after. And how many people are you expecting at this meeting about 10 give or take? A flight from London to New York takes 8 hours or there abouts. There abouts, is an interesting one. We can use it for numbers. We can also use it for a place when we don’t want to be exact about this place, we want to say well in this area. For example, I’m coming to London. now, where shall I meet? here I’m. I’ll be in Oxford Street or thereabouts all day. just call me when you’re near in Oxford Street or in that general area. So, let’s practice. I’ll ask you some questions. Answer me in the comments. Using those expressions.

Number 1, How tall do you think I am? Number 2, How much do you think I weigh? Number 3, What time did you wake up today? Number 4, Ballpark figure, How much money do you think the Queen has? And number 5, if you took the IELTS test right now what kind of score do you think you would get? 4 things concepts and ideas if someone asks you to describe something by comparing it to something else. this is how you do it. It’s blah blah blah. or something like that it’s a kind of sort of blah blah blah blah blah blah. that kind of thing. For example, my favorite English food is a Yorkshire pudding. Now, when I describe this I have to compare it to other things. Umm Yorkshire pudding. it’s, it’s a kind of savory pancake. It’s, it’s like a pancake. But, a different shape and less sugar. That kind of thing. so, practice. Tell everyone in the comments. What these things are? Remember, compare them to other. Using those expressions, what is an arepa borscht locum?

What is so, made what is back? So, what is Majorca and what is canola? Remember to be vague in your comparisons adjectives. But, again it’s not the exact thing you want to be imprecise a bit. vague kind of sort of you. Can use those with adjectives to describe something. Example, what color are my eyes? Honestly it depends on the weather in the summer my eyes are kind of blurry or bluey greenish and in the winter they’re more greenish. So, they’re not exactly 100% blue and not exactly 100% green and maybe you noticed that. for adjectives you can add E or ish to the end. To make that adjective not exact. it’s the room clean. clean ish. Oh, you make music. What type of music do you make? yeah, it’s like poppy drum and bass II a bit metal ish. Well, that sounds terrible. It is, oh you went on a date last night? What was the guy handsome? And exactly I mean handsome. So, practice what color are your eyes?

What color is the sky in your country today? And describe the type of music that your favorite musician or band plays. For actions you will hear this a lot. And it sounds natural to do. Example, wow you got a really good mark for your test. How did you do that? I don’t know. I just kind of studied really hard. I just sort of I just kind of saying that sounds natural and you will hear it often. However, this is a much more informal way of speaking. So, don’t use it for interviews and don’t use it for formal conversations. But, definitely not for writing.
