How are you, Lindsay? 16 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,759 Feeling great today, but I have a key question for you today. You ready? 17 00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:41,079 Yeah, let's hear it. 18 00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,879 So Aubrey, in your daily life or just maybe right now in this moment, 19 00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,280 is there anything you are loathe to do? 20 00:01:48,179 --> 00:01:54,519 You know, I am loathe to swim with my kids right now. Our pool is still ice cold, 21 00:01:54,819 --> 00:01:59,039 in my opinion. It's way too cold and they are ready to swim. They're getting in. They're like, 22 00:01:59,099 --> 00:02:04,359 mom, come swim with me. And it's way too cold for me. So I make excuses and I really, I'm like, 23 00:02:04,379 --> 00:02:09,560 I'll just dip my toes in. It's crazy. So I am really loathe to get in that cold swimming pool. 24 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,560 It's funny how we lose our nerves as we get older. It becomes harder and harder to get into 25 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,659 swimming pools or cold lakes or the ocean. When we're kids, we just run in like, 26 00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:22,659 we didn't mind at all. I know. Maybe our nerve endings are less sensitive when we're younger. 27 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:24,060 I don't know. We just don't care. 28 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,960 We just don't care. I don't know. We don't think about it. I don't know. We think a lot as adults, 29 00:02:29,099 --> 00:02:29,439 don't we? 30 00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:33,879 Yeah, for sure. Well, this is interesting. This word loathe came up in a recent episode. 31 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,599 Stay to the end and we'll share which one it is in case you missed it. But I realized when 32 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:43,360 proofreading the transcripts that it is spelled differently if it's an adjective or a verb. 33 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,479 That's a really good insight. 34 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,020 So I noticed like the misspelling and I was like, but usually I thought it did end with 35 00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:52,640 an E. So this is interesting. We're going to share this today. This is a common error 36 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,979 by native speakers as well. So not something you really need to stress about. But if you can make 37 00:02:57,979 --> 00:03:03,680 this improvement, there will be times where people are impressed. If it's an email or a written memo or 38 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,140 something, especially at work, and you spell this correctly, you're doing better than probably 39 00:03:08,139 --> 00:03:10,259 80% of native English speakers. 40 00:03:10,699 --> 00:03:15,199 Oh, for sure. And I think even beyond just spelling it correctly, just using it is going 41 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:21,739 to put you probably in the top 25% of native speakers, I think. I don't think this is an 42 00:03:21,739 --> 00:03:25,259 average word. I think this is an above average word to use, Aubrey. Don't you think? 43 00:03:25,619 --> 00:03:30,619 Yes, it's an impressive word. We're going to go into both the verb and the adjective. And we're also 44 00:03:30,619 --> 00:03:37,079 going to share a few more interesting ways to share this because connection isn't just about things you have 45 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,580 in common and things you like. We also connect about things we loathe, things we dread, things we hate. 46 00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:45,920 So this is interesting too. You need to also have this vocab. 47 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,740 Yeah. And it doesn't mean that you're a negative person. If you're always connecting, there can be 48 00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:55,740 very positive connection around something you don't want to do, especially if you share that in 49 00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:59,420 common with someone else. That can be a true connection moment as well. 50 00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:05,120 Yes, for sure. We also want to give a shout out. There was a comment on YouTube 51 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,759 from Rehaman from India. And there wasn't a question, but they just said, I love all your 52 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,960 podcasts. Could you please call out my name in your next podcast? So hello, Rehaman. Thank you 53 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,379 for the YouTube comment. And we wanted to give you a shout out. Wonderful.

Yes. 57 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,680 Awesome. All right. Let's dive in with this interesting vocabulary. So when we use the adjective 58 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:50,920 loathe, it's always in this chunk loathe to, loathe to do something. And this means to intensely dislike 59 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,980 or hate something. So like at the top of the episode, I'm loathe to swim in our pool. Or you might say, 60 00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:01,520 I'm loathe to go through haunted houses. I really don't like them. This is true for me. 61 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:06,120 I don't like jump scares. I don't want to be like, that's not fun. Do you like haunted houses? 62 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,560 I'm kind of the same way. I love, opposite word, I love going on ghost tours. 63 00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:12,960 Oh yeah, that I would like. 64 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,560 Yeah. You could be on the sidewalk and you're safe and it's happening in that house, right? It's not 65 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,819 happening to you. It's very different when you're in a haunted house and things are jumping out at you. 66 00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:26,720 Right. I think this is for my brother would do this when I was young. He would jump out from behind a door, 67 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,520 and grab you and scream. And I really hate that now. I'm like, please don't jump scare. 68 00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:33,400 Yeah, no jump scare. I love it. 69 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,300 But what's interesting is loathe this way as an adjective is spelled without an E. It's just 70 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:45,220 L-O-A-T-H, loathe to do something. So that's tricky. What's another example of using it this way? 71 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:51,320 So someone's habits, right? They're nocturnal. How awake are they? What are their habits? He has always 72 00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:57,599 been loathe to get up early. Okay. Yes. He's just a nighttime person, not a morning person. 73 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,360 Exactly. Right. And like Lindsay said, this is a little less common, but it is impressive. It's 74 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,759 impressive vocabulary. You will hear it. You definitely can use it, but the spelling's a 75 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,379 little tricky because there's no E there. What about when there is an E, Lindsay? This is when 76 00:06:11,379 --> 00:06:15,939 it's a verb in the sentence. To be honest, this is a good review for me too, right? Remembering 77 00:06:15,939 --> 00:06:23,360 where the E goes. So we put an E at the end in this case, right? L-O-A-T-H-E, and that becomes a 78 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,980 verb. Okay. So for example, I loathe driving in snowy weather. And I think native speakers tend to 79 00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:37,500 punch that loathe too. I agree. That almost would be strange because it's like intense hatred or dread. 80 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,199 So it would be strange to be like, I loathe driving in snowy weather. Yeah. 81 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:44,399 Emphasize it. I loathe driving in snowy weather. 82 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:49,459 And it's also one of those kind of full mouth words. You need everything happening. So we really 83 00:06:49,459 --> 00:06:55,300 indulge in saying that word. Okay. I agree. Absolutely. Or maybe she loathes doing homework, 84 00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:59,160 right? This has, it can't be something that you just sort of don't like a little bit. 85 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,540 It really has to be a pretty intense feeling. 86 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,620 Love it. Love it. All right, Aubrey, where to now? What else do we need to know? 87 00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:11,540 Yeah. So just the main thing is that these are pronounced exactly the same. So when you're 88 00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:15,639 speaking, you don't have to worry about this at all. It's like effect and effect that we've talked 89 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,819 about recently. Yes. Doesn't matter when you're speaking, but they are spelled differently. So 90 00:07:20,819 --> 00:07:25,180 when you're writing, if you see the word loathe, you need to take a second. Okay. Is this being used 91 00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:31,100 as an adjective or a verb? And the big pro tip here is if it's loathe to, loathe to do something, 92 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280 that's when there's no E because it's an adjective. 93 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,939 Hmm. Really good to know. So if we're taking the IELTS exam, for example, 94 00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:41,579 or if we're just writing a business email, we need to know, or even a text message to a friend, 95 00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:45,659 we need to know the difference here. Okay. Absolutely. But let's share some other 96 00:07:45,659 --> 00:07:51,199 interesting options because if you're talking about being upset about something or angry or 97 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,399 something you dread or hate doing, there are so many interesting words to ways to say this, 98 00:07:56,459 --> 00:08:02,479 right? Yes. Yes. I really like the word abhor. Yeah. This is actually even stronger than loathe, 99 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,860 if you can believe it, because loathe is pretty strong. But if you say you abhor something, 100 00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:10,960 that's like the most intense dislike that you can get. 101 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:17,460 Ooh. Okay. So for example, I abhor small spaces. I'm definitely claustrophobic. Are you 102 00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:20,340 claustrophobic, Aubrey? Do you mind being in an elevator? 103 00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:21,520 I don't think so. What about you? 104 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,700 No, I don't think so. I had an apartment in New York or Tokyo too. 105 00:08:25,699 --> 00:08:29,039 Right. If ever you lived in New York, you can't be claustrophobic. 106 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,819 Basically living in a closet. Yeah, for sure. But if I had to be in an elevator for 107 00:08:33,819 --> 00:08:38,600 hours and hours, then I might start getting claustrophobic. I can imagine the length of 108 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,799 time definitely would affect that. Yeah. Because your mind would start running, 109 00:08:42,019 --> 00:08:42,860 right? That's the key. Absolutely. 110 00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:44,379 Okay. What's another? 111 00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:49,680 Or maybe this is about Michelle. She pours olives. She doesn't even like the smell of them. 112 00:08:50,379 --> 00:08:54,500 I know. I think Michelle doesn't love olives. I love them so much. 113 00:08:54,779 --> 00:08:59,820 And I'm sure a lot of our listeners love. I mean, it's a Mediterranean food. I love olives. I can't 114 00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:03,980 imagine a life without olives or olive oil. I mean, I eat so much olive oil. 115 00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:08,080 I have a feeling Michelle does eat olive oil. I think it's just the taste of like actual olives, 116 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,779 a bowl of green and Kalamata olives, but she is missing out. I love them so much. 117 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:19,480 So abhor is a good one. And then disdain is good. This is a noun, right? 118 00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:23,899 Well, this is tricky. It exists as a noun and a verb. So let's go over the noun first. So this 119 00:09:23,899 --> 00:09:27,980 is the feeling that something isn't worthy of respect or consideration. So maybe like 120 00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:35,000 she looked at him with disdain. So this is a noun here, right? It's what she's using to look that her 121 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,300 expression has disdain in it. Disdain, like not giving the person a chance, very close-minded, 122 00:09:40,299 --> 00:09:42,579 very negative, right? Absolutely. 123 00:09:43,199 --> 00:09:46,979 Or he's always treated her with disdain. Oh, strange word. 124 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,719 Yes. Yeah, it is kind of a strange word. And it also exists as a verb. They are spelled the 125 00:09:50,719 --> 00:09:52,919 same, luckily, unlike loathe. Good. 126 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:58,139 So this is like, if you treat someone like they're not worthy of respect, you can use this as a verb. 127 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:05,699 So the main way I've seen this is if you disdain to answer questions. This is very rare 128 00:10:05,699 --> 00:10:10,039 in English that we use this as a verb. When I saw this in the dictionary, there's a verb and 129 00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:14,319 a noun. I had to think, I'm like, I don't hear that very often. So maybe if someone say like, 130 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,820 I disdained to answer the questions or in present. And this is like, because you dislike the questions 131 00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:25,680 or maybe if it were like on a crime show, be like, she disdained to answer. But this is definitely a 132 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,500 connotation of you are not answering them because you disagree with them. Something like that, 133 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:32,379 right? Interesting. 134 00:10:32,379 --> 00:10:34,879 You don't respect the questions for whatever reason. 135 00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:38,640 Yeah. I mean, the courtroom idea, I know in a courtroom, well, at least on courtroom dramas, 136 00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:43,360 we hear the word sustained a lot, right? A different word, but maybe in a similar family 137 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,519 sort of thing. I don't know. 138 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,799 Good point. Good point. So this is really interesting too, to think about. 139 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:54,460 Some of these we use more often in the past tense, right? We wouldn't really use abhor in 140 00:10:54,460 --> 00:11:00,319 the past tense. We're like, I abhorred that film. I loathed that restaurant. Not really, right? 141 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:06,120 Instead, we usually use these in the present because they're such strong feelings. It's more like, 142 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,960 this is something I always will always abhor or loathe because it's a strong, it's hard to like 143 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,320 hate something that strongly that just happened once, like one trip to a restaurant or something, 144 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:20,820 right? I see what you're saying. So it's almost like a state of being, this feeling. 145 00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:22,360 Yes. Almost like state of being. 146 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000 Exactly. That's how strong it is, right? If it's something we don't like, we probably would say 147 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,820 like, oh, I really hated that. I absolutely detested it. Or I would say, I couldn't stand it. 148 00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:33,279 Yes. 149 00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,419 I mean, I really didn't like it. 150 00:11:35,419 --> 00:11:39,819 Yes. I love that. That's a really important point. So it's the things that we really hate 151 00:11:39,819 --> 00:11:46,819 and we've always hated. We just don't identify with those things. We're using abhor or loathe, 152 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:53,000 whereas it's a single experience or a movie or a meal, lighter things like hate. I mean, 153 00:11:53,059 --> 00:11:57,939 light is not, hate is not light, but like we don't get that passionate about like an individual 154 00:11:57,939 --> 00:12:03,360 experience, right? So these words, this is what's important to, to pay attention to here is 155 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,940 these words really signify that a passionate dislike. And so it is strange if you use them. 156 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,379 We don't even really use them jokingly to talk about how much we dislike something. I guess you 157 00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:21,120 could be like, oh, I loathe spinach. And you're just joking, right? But for the most part, it's for 158 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,039 things that you really hate, feel very strongly about. 159 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:30,019 All right. Good to know. Excellent. Okay, Aubrey, we are back from break. Let's do a role play for 160 00:12:30,019 --> 00:12:35,059 today. Here we are discussing the foods that we dislike. Okay. Let's see. 161 00:12:35,059 --> 00:12:39,980 I'll start us out. I'm not usually picky, but I absolutely abhor eel. 162 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Really? I love eel rolls at a sushi place. Eel sauce is delicious. 163 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,120 Yeah. It's not for me. I'm loathe to even think about eating eel. What about you? Are there any 164 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,560 foods that you can't stand? Hmm. Yeah. I've always had disdain for masago. 165 00:12:57,060 --> 00:13:02,039 Oh, that's fish eggs, right? Yeah. I don't know what it is, but I loathe it. 166 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,120 Okay. Nice. So this is possible that you like really dislike certain foods and we would use, 167 00:13:08,179 --> 00:13:12,740 you know, abhor, loathe, whatever. But if you just mean to say like, I don't really like that very much, 168 00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:17,519 we wouldn't use these bigger, stronger words. I think a lot of people have issues around texture, 169 00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:21,159 right? The texture of things. Even some people don't like the texture of eggs, 170 00:13:21,860 --> 00:13:25,500 but sort of fish eggs, the texture, I think people probably struggle with. 171 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:29,820 That's why I like eel, but I know someone who doesn't and I think it's a texture thing. 172 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:34,680 Yeah. No, eel is great. When I lived in Japan for my last meal there, my friends, 173 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:39,720 my Japanese friends took me to an eel restaurant, a place like in the mountains that specialized just in 174 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,180 eel. It was amazing. Wow. That's awesome. And I do love eel sauce. This is me. I think it's so 175 00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:50,300 tasty. It's a little bit sweeter on some rolls. Oh, so delicious. Yes, exactly. Let's go through 176 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:56,379 this. So again, you said, I'm usually not picky, but I absolutely abhor eel. It's kind of a weird 177 00:13:56,379 --> 00:14:00,720 word too, because we are kind of pronouncing the H, aren't we, Aubrey? Yes, we do have to, 178 00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:05,160 right? You hit that H kind of hard, abhor. And this is another one where you have to like 179 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,639 hit the word hard. You have to emphasize it just like loathe. It's a little strange. We're like, 180 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,819 I really abhor that. No, you need the intonation needs to be powerful because the emotion, 181 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,579 the passion about the dislike is powerful. The word implies that. 182 00:14:19,019 --> 00:14:21,980 Yeah. We don't want to have that flat affect, right? We want to make sure we're 183 00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:24,659 putting life into our words here. What else, Aubrey? 184 00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:30,199 Yeah. And then I said, oh, it's not for me. I'm loathe to even think about eating eel. So this is where 185 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,740 it's an adjective. I'm describing myself, myself as loathe to think about something. 186 00:14:36,259 --> 00:14:38,740 Hmm. Very interesting construction too. I'm loathe to even think. 187 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:40,879 Yeah. So it would be written without the E there, right? 188 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:47,620 Okay. No E there. Good. And then I said, hmm, yeah, I've always had disdain for masago. 189 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,000 Hmm. Yeah. Since I've always, and this is an interesting thing to say, like disdain, 190 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,800 because it does often imply more of like a lack of respect. So this would be sort of joking even to 191 00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,559 say this about food. Be like, oh, I have such disdain for masago. Like I would probably laugh 192 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:08,819 at that. I'd be like, that's really funny because it usually does imply more like, um, 193 00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:14,419 you, you, you are critical of something. You, you disrespect something. 194 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,019 Right. For bigger things than just food. Like food is just a taste. That's all it is. It's 195 00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:25,019 sort of one dimensional. Right. But for example, like political parties or certain ways of thinking 196 00:15:25,019 --> 00:15:29,139 would be more common for disdain, right? That's where you would use it more literally, 197 00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:33,340 right? This is kind of more joking, but yeah, you could say you have disdain for a certain 198 00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:37,899 political candidate or people who agree with a certain policy. That would be more because it's 199 00:15:37,899 --> 00:15:42,699 more of a lack of respect for that for sure. And then the last thing that was said was, yeah, 200 00:15:42,699 --> 00:15:48,600 I don't know what it is, but I loathe it. Right. So they just mean like, I really hate it. Yeah. 201 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,300 And this is because it's a verb. This would be spelled with an E L O A T H E. All right. Good 202 00:15:54,300 --> 00:16:00,200 high level episode for our listeners today at the B2 C1 level. I love it. Yes, absolutely. We want to 203 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,060 make sure that you don't miss the episode that inspired this and 2402 right here on All There's 204 00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:11,600 English. Should you call someone cheap in English where we said sometimes people are loathe to spend 205 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,019 money. So use it as an adjective there. So it wouldn't have an E. Yes. And the connection piece 206 00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:22,079 here guys for today is it's not always, it doesn't have to be about these positive, amazing things 207 00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:27,500 that you're connecting over. You can build just as strong of a connection over things that you loathe 208 00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:33,079 and have disdain for. Okay. Absolutely. Yes. Right. I feel like that would even bond you closer with 209 00:16:33,079 --> 00:16:38,279 someone if you are sort of willing to admit these more negative things. I don't love everything, 210 00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:42,699 right? The people I'm close to, I want to build a stronger connection with. I'm going to admit the things 211 00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:47,820 that I really abhor. Especially if it's very, like most people love this thing, but you actually 212 00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:53,080 have disdain for it, right? Yeah. A hot take. Yes, exactly. That could build a really strong sense 213 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,740 of trust and connection right there. So that's what we're going for. All right.
