  • Hey everybody, welcome back to let’s talk and you are with me, Meera. Guys what do you

  • think about these sentences, ‘I want a slice of pizza’, ‘I want a piece of cake’,

  • ‘I want to buy new pair of headphones’… well what you think these are? Well you are

  • using measure words to define that the things that you want in your daily life. Similarly

  • today I’ve got a bunch of stuff for you, so here are certain words and certain things

  • that we need on a daily life basis, okay? These are our necessities and we are going

  • to learn, what do we exactly use, to tell what you want and how you use measure words

  • to define these things that we need on a daily basis, okay? Let’s understand how weve

  • been getting wrong all these years, and see what’s the right thing to use. Okay, so

  • here’s the thing, I’m going to randomly start, because I want you guys to have fun

  • with it, instead of being a boring old lesson, I want you to just try to take it as a test

  • for yourself. Okay, let's start with oil here, now whenever you're cooking something okay,

  • you go on any cooking channel, you would hear the chefs talk in this language, ‘pour a

  • tablespoon of oilin the in the pan, okay? So when it comes to oil, and cooking in the

  • kitchen, you can use measure words liketeaspoonortablespoon”. The tablespoon is obviously

  • the one which has, which is going to be more inmlthen the teaspoon, it’s the

  • bigger spoon, okay? So oil will always be tablespoon or teaspoon which is a smaller

  • one. So you would say, pour a tablespoon of oil in the pan or just a teaspoon of olive

  • oil in the pan. Alright, let's see which one, well I'm sure you guys like Nutella a lot.

  • Now whenever you want Nutella, how would you say it? How would you tell, what you want

  • exactly? Maybe you want a teaspoon of Nutella, but because it is so yummy, you would always

  • want a “jar of Nutella”. So Nutella will always be used with a jar of Nutella. ‘I

  • ate a complete jar of Nutella today and it was yum. Usually, I buy a jar of Nutella each

  • month to use in my sandwiches, right? So that's Nutella for you. Now let's talk aboutscissors

  • right here, so whenever you are asking for scissors, buying scissor or looking for scissors

  • Scissors are things which always happen to get lost at least in my house, I don't know

  • about yours, well this one's pretty famous, it's just one scissor, but you will always

  • say “a pair of scissorsjust the way yourjeansare, your pair of jeans similarly,

  • scissors are also termed and attached with pair of scissors. Could you please pass me

  • that pair of scissors? I'm looking for a pair of scissors, they are orange in color, do

  • you know where they are? SeeAlright, now let's talk aboutcottonyou know the

  • small, tiny cotton balls that you use for cleaning your face or wiping something? Well,

  • I just said or give you a hint as to what you would attach withcotton’, you would

  • say a “ball of cotton”. That's correct, a ball of cotton. Can you pass me that ball

  • of cotton, I just need to wipe my face? Hey, do you have a ball of cotton, I seem to have

  • dropped something on my t-shirt. Having spoken about cotton, let's talk abouttoilet paper

  • here, any guesses? What would we use with toilet paper? We would use, okay let me just

  • quickly draw this, it's gonna be looking like this, right? That's what your toilet paper

  • is looks like, mmm right, it's “a roll of toilet paper”. Hey you are out of toilet

  • paper, pass me a roll of toilet paper. It's a roll, right? And that's what you need to

  • remember when you're talking about toilet papers. Alright, let's talk aboutglue’,

  • there who love eating salads and are looking at different vegetables to include in their

  • salads, I'm sure you're looking at lettuce as well. Well if you try and think or if you

  • I went out and bought a lot of vegetables, I also bought a head of lettuce. I am going

  • to use my head of lettuce in my salad today, okay? That's how you can use lettuce, a head

  • of lettuce. Alright, how can I forget aboutbread”, in daily life situations we always

  • end up buying bread for the house, so a bread comes in what form? Usually a big fatyes,

  • loaf”, okay? Although you can order a slice, but you buy it in a loaf form. So we're

  • going to use two words, “a loaf of bread”, as well as “a slice of bread”. You will

  • never buy a slice of bread, you would order a slice of bread probably, with your pasta,

  • so you would say, can I please get a slice of garlic bread? But when you go out to a

  • shop to a grocery shop to buy, you would buy a loaf of bread, alright? Okay, now let's

  • talk aboutsaltright, now salt whenever added in anything is used in a form of a teaspoon

  • like throwing it just a little bit, you know a dash of salt to make your dish yummy or

  • tasty. Okay let's talk abouttoothpastehere, now again like I said imagine the object,

  • toothpaste comes in a tube form, right? So it's as simple as that, you would say, “a

  • tube of toothpaste”. I need to buy a tube of toothpaste today. ‘My toothpaste is over,

  • could you please buy me a tube on your way home?’ right? That's how see how you can

  • put it in a sentence. “A tape”, a tape again looks like a roll, right? Right, so

  • here as well you can say, “a roll of tape”. A roll of tape, similar to a toilet paper,

  • a roll of tape. Okay, let's talk aboutgarlic”. For all the yummy dishes like your pasta,
