  • She said she's pregnant”, “they said they're getting married”, “he said he

  • needs to take some rest”, “he said he needs some money”… Oh! Too much ofsaid”,

  • well there's nothing wrong and using the wordsaidin English but there are times

  • when we see something in order to show our happiness or we say something in anger or

  • we say something in a very bossy manner, so in this lesson today we are gonna look at

  • certain words that you can use instead of using the wordsaid”.

  • Hey friends it's me Niharika and welcome back to a new lesson. Well today you are gonna learn some words

  • that you can use instead of using the wordsaidin English. Now there are times

  • when you really want to enhance your dialogue or make it more descriptive, so using the

  • word said is blah! So these are certain words that you can use. We are gonna have a look

  • at the very first one which isannounced”. Now when I say that, “my friend said that

  • he is getting married”, okay, it's not incorrect but it's more like an announcement, something

  • that he wants everybody to know okay, it's official, so rather than using the wordsaid”,

  • you can use the wordannounced”. Sohe announced that he's getting married”, okay?

  • So that's how you can use the wordannouncedwhen you want something to be known. The next

  • word that I have for you isranted”. Now very often we see things when we are very

  • angry, okay? So most of the dialogues are said in a very angry manner, so rather than

  • saying that, “he said I have to sign these papers”, so someone asked you to sign some

  • papers and he asked you in a very angry manner so you can use the wordranted”. So when

  • someone says something angrily you can use the wordrantedinstead ofsaid”.

  • Likehe ranted, I need to sign the papers right now”, okay? Moving on to the next

  • one iscommanded”. Now when you say something in a very bossy manner okay, very bossily,

  • then you can use the wordcommanded”, likehe said the project should be delivered

  • in ten days”, so it's not really a request, but this person is commanding you to do that.

  • So rather than saying 'he said that the project should be completed in ten days',

  • use the wordcommanded”. “He commanded”, okay? So in a very bossy manner he said this

  • to you, so rather than using the boring old wordsaid”, you can use the wordcommanded”.

  • The next one is pretty similar tocommanded”, it's “dictated”. So again when someone

  • says something in a very bossy manner, rather than using the wordsaid”, you can use

  • the worddictated”. “She dictated me to do this”, so 'she said that I have

  • to do this', instead of using the wordsaid”, you can use the worddictated”, okay?

  • So again it's a very, in a very bossy manner. Moving on to the next word that you can use

  • is, “insisted”. Now there are times when someone says something repeatedly, “ah!

  • please do this for me”, “please, you have to do it”, “you have no option, you gotta

  • come along with us”, okay so he's been poking you constantly that, “do it, please do it,

  • right now”, so he or she is forcing you to do something, right? So rather than saying

  • that oh he kept saying this he said that I have to go using thesaidis quite boring,

  • so use insisted. Sohe insisted that I should go with them for the movieor for

  • the picnic, because this person has been telling you to do that constantly, okay or forcing

  • you, okay? So use the wordinsistedinstead of using the wordsaid”. Moving

  • on to the next one isrequested”. Now you also say something in the form of a question,

  • right? So you say that oh he said that he wanted some money so rather than sayingsaid”,

  • when especially you are saying something like a question, use the wordrequested”,

  • he requested for some money”, “he requested the to borrow my bag”, okay? So requested

  • is more like a question, so when someone says something in the form of a question, using

  • the wordsaidis pretty inappropriate, you can use the wordrequestedinstead.

  • The next oneenquired”, again you need to use it in a very similar manner just the

  • way you use the wordrequested”. When someone is asking you or telling you something

  • in the form of a question, you can use the wordenquired”. “He enquired about

  • the details of this project”, so 'he said that he wanted the details for this project',

  • pretty boring, use the wordenquired”, okay? Moving on to the next one isresponded”,

  • Now here we learntrequestedandenquired”, you use these words when you are asking something

  • butrespondedandacknowledged”, these two words can be used instead of using

  • the wordsaid”, when you have to give an answer to someone, okay? So when you are

  • answerable, you say that, “she responded”. Well for example, “John sent me an email

  • enquiring about the details of this project and I responded in few hours”, so rather

  • than saying that, “I said or I sent the detailsyou can use the wordresponded

  • or you can also use the wordacknowledged”, so both of these words are used instead of

  • using the wordsaid”, when you are saying something as an answer to something, okay?

  • The next one that I have for you ismumbled”. Now what is mumbled? You know there are people

  • who say something in their mouth, they are not clear enough and you just don't get them

  • right, for example if I have to mumble, I would mumble like, 'I need to learn English,

  • I don't know what's going on…' did you understand what did I say? Well definitely

  • not, because I was not clear enough, I'm mumbled, I mumbled in my mouth. So mumbling is very

  • common, people do mumble too much but then when you say that, “ah! She said something,

  • I didn't quite understand her”, so rather than saying or using the wordsaid”,

  • 'like she said something', you can use the wordmumbled”, “oh! She mumbled

  • something, I couldn't understand her”, okay? So when someone is not clear enough you don't

  • understand them well because they didn't speak clearly, they didn't say something clearly,

  • which means they mumbled. So you can use the wordmumbledinstead ofsaid”.

  • And then the last one that I have for you isboasted”. “She boasted about her

  • new ringorshe boasted about her new job”, so someone who sings his or her own

  • praise, it means that they're boasting about themselves. So when someone says that or you

  • hear someone saying that, “oh! I have this big house, such an amazing house and I have

  • like an amazing car…” ok, if you want to discuss this person with another friend

  • of yours, you would use the wordsaid”, “oh! She said that she has a big house,

  • she said that she has a big car…” so rather than using the wordsaidtoo many times

  • you can use this word in English instead ofsaid”, “boasted”. She boasted about

  • a new car and her new house, okay? So that's how you will use this word so these are 11

  • words, 11 alternatives to the wordsaidso the next time you want to enhance your

  • dialogue or make it more descriptive by adding too many emotions to it, well do not stick

  • to the wordsaiduse these words instead and I'll be back with a new lesson soon till

  • then you take care.

She said she's pregnant”, “they said they're getting married”, “he said he
