  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is verb phrase 154. The verb phrase today is to pine

  • away. Okay. Let's look at the note here. If someone pines away, he or she falls into

  • a period of serious melancholy. You know, melancholy is great sadness or

  • depression due to longing for. You know, they desire very much. They're longing

  • for or grief ... grief you know, also feeling sad of for like especially a loss or a

  • death over someone. Basically, it means someone feels extremely unhappy because

  • he or she could not be with someone they have romantic feelings for or at least

  • had romantic feelings for. All right. It can be ... it it can be to the extent that one

  • stops eating or you know, having enjoyable times in their life or

  • enjoyable experiences and could lead to death. So it has that feeling that you're

  • kind of neglecting your health. You're so down or you're so depressed or you're so

  • you know, in such a state of melancholy that you're kind of you're kind of

  • ignoring your normal things that you should take care of your health and your

  • health may get worse. So it does kind of have that feeling. That's why they say pine

  • away. Pine away almost a little bit you know, if it goes far enough it's almost a

  • little bit like wasting away. Okay. Let's continue here. All right. Let's look at we

  • got three examples here. According to one Greek mythology story, Echo pined away

  • for Narcissus due to the rejection of her love. Yeah. If you're curious about

  • that I did do a word origins awhile back you know how we got the word echo

  • actually comes from this mythology story and a narcissist of course comes from

  • Narcissus. So both of them I've done the same in the same video because it's

  • really a couple of different mythology stories that I connected. But in this

  • mythology story she did literally waste away. She was so sad

  • and he'd caused her to die and and then her ghost kind of becomes the echo but

  • anyway that's it's it's an interesting one if you never heard that story. Number

  • two you have to stop pining away for your loss you must be strong and carry

  • on. This one sounds a little bit like a death but it could be also maybe you

  • lost someone you love. So it could be that. Or number three here. You broke

  • up six months ago. You cannot just continue to sit here and pine away in

  • depression. You need to move on with your life. Well this is probably just a

  • breakup, but maybe somebody who's having difficulty getting closure or moving on

  • and they are just depressed all the time. and you know maybe a friend of their sees

  • that it could be really affecting their health at some point. Okay. Anyway this is

  • what we mean might find a way. I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your

  • time. Bye-bye
