  • Hey everybody, welcome back to Let's Talk and you are with me Meera. Well today I've

  • got some words for you that you would love, because you're going to stop using the word

  • badfor everything, right? ‘This doesn't taste good, this is bad’, ‘I don't like

  • your dress, it's bad’, ‘my experience was bad’… Well guys, I think there is

  • so much more to it than just the wordbadand we're going to learn different words to

  • express in different situations, right? So let's get started guys, well the first one,

  • the first word islousy”. Now hear the example first and you would immediately understand

  • what is the meaning of it, “I had a lousy Sundaywhat does that mean? “My brother

  • is extremely lousy when it comes to studying”. ‘Lousymeans slow or poor, right? ‘Lousy

  • means slow or poor at something. I had a slow Sunday or a poor Sunday, okay? So that one

  • is lousy. The next one isvile”. Now vile means wicked. For example, “they gave

  • us a vile expression when we said we want to be in a live-in relationship”. Sovile

  • expressionmeans a wicked expression. The way we see in probably some sitcoms where

  • some really dramatic expressions happen, well you can also say, “why do you have that

  • vile smile on your face?” That means a wicked smile on your faceyou must be thinking

  • something mischievous. Sovilemeans wicked. Okay, the next one ishellish”.

  • Hellish means like hell, right? This one's pretty simple but how can you use it, you

  • can use it to express a certain experience, “our train journey was hellish.” Or you

  • can say, “the flight got delayed for 48 hours, it was hellish out there.” It was

  • like hell. Well the next one isnasty”. Now when you hear the wordnasty”, you

  • immediately understand how you can use it, okay? So for example, wellnastymeans

  • filthy, right? Okay, nasty means filthy. So for example you can say, “Why do you have

  • that nasty expression?” I have tried and switched vile with nasty that means filthy

  • expression. When you look at certain food or something that is lying around which you

  • don't like you do this, right…? That's nasty. Or people also sometimes use it when people

  • want to say, “That’s a nasty thought”. That's a filthy thought, right? So nasty means

  • filthy. Well moving on we haveghastly”. Right here I've just forgot to add an ‘h’

  • which I'm gonna do here, so that's ghastly, okay? Nowghastlymeans horrifying or

  • a terribly frightening experience. I use this whenever I see a ghost movie or a snake. I

  • say, “oh my god, I just saw a snake, it was ghastly.” Okay ghastly means, terrifying,

  • terrifying. Or like I said, for a movie you can saythat movie was ghastlythat

  • means it scared the hell out of you, right? The next one isbrutal”. Well this one

  • is often used by people, “brutalmeans cold-blooded, okay? So cold-blooded. What

  • does cold-blooded really mean? Any ideas, any guesses? Cold-blooded means when someone

  • is so, when it seems to be mean. For example, “truth is always brutal”, that means it

  • is so on, whenever someone tells you the truth it hurts, right? It's bad to know the truth.

  • Instead of sayingbadyou can start usingbrutal”. Orstop giving such

  • brutal suggestions every time, people have emotions as well”, that means don't be so

  • cold-blooded every time, have a little bit of emotion, have a little bit of sympathy,

  • right? The next one isyucky”. Don't kids love to use this word? “Yuckymeans

  • distasteful, right? Something that doesn't taste good, distasteful. So this one could

  • be highly used whenever you do not like something to eat. You can say, “Oh my god that soup

  • is so yucky, I don't like it”, “salad eew! Yucky, who eats salads? That's yucky

  • for you guys. Now we haveimmoralhere. “Immoralmeans something that is unethical,

  • right? Immoral means unethical. The next time when you see people doing things which are

  • unethical you don't have to say that, ‘he's a bad person because he does bad things’,

  • you can say, “he's not a nice person, because he does immoral thingsthe things which

  • people around the society usually doesn't like to be done or don't do anything that

  • is immoral otherwise it will get you behind the bars, don't do something bad it will get

  • you behind the bars and we have replaced it withimmoral”. Moving on toannoying”.

  • Now who uses this word quite often? Me. Well annoying means something, something that causes

  • irritation, right? Causing irritation. Okayyour voice is so annoying”, do you say

  • that to people? Don't say that, they'll get hurt. But basically you mean to say it is

  • causing you irritation, okay? “Switch off that fan, it's just it's so annoying, the

  • noise is so annoying.” “Who's making that annoying noise out there?” Irritating you,

  • right? That's causing irritation and that's why you useannoyinginstead ofbad”.

  • Now we havedisgusting”. Now what does disgusting mean? Disgusting is also the same,

  • it's something that just causes you some sort of irritation, okay? So it's the same as above,

  • irritation mixed with anger, okay? So you instead of, you can either use annoying or

  • disgusting it's going to be, it's going to have the same feeling, okay? We can say, “oh

  • my god don't wear that again it's torn, that will look disgusting”. Don't wear torn clothes,

  • it's looking disgusting. You can sayiron your clothes, otherwise it's not going to

  • look good or bad instead you use disgusting, okay? Sometimes you might not like people's

  • thoughts or the way they think or the way they judge others, “stop judging people,

  • that's disgusting”, is something that you can say, that generates anger in you. The

  • next one isevil”, okay? “Evilmeans sinful, that causes harm, right? Sinful or

  • harm, okay? So for example you can say, “your thoughts are totally evil you should change

  • them”, that means don't think like that, that will cause people harm, or you can always

  • say thatthere are so many people, evil people around us but I'm sure good will always

  • win”. The good people will always win. People who cause harm will not win, that means bad

  • people, evil people, right? Now the last one you have is, “rotten”. Sometimes whenever

  • you come across some stale food items you end up saying that's bad food or that has

  • gone bad, instead you can replace it withrotten”, rotten means poor quality, right?

  • Something that has lost quality and has become bad, so rotten is poor quality and this in

  • particularly can be used for perishable items, food per se or fruits or even flowers which

  • have gone bad. Now you can use the word rotten. Well guys there's so many words that you can

  • replace the wordbadwith, with different situations you can do that, right? Okay, so

  • that's all for today, I'm going to see you soon with another lesson, with another topic

  • until then this is me Meera saying, ciao.

Hey everybody, welcome back to Let's Talk and you are with me Meera. Well today I've
