- It's hard to explain but it's usually said in a certain tone when you're announcing something--perhaps something surprising or slightly unexpected--to an audience. "Well, we just got ourselves a brand new truck." (When the truck fell unexpectedly into their hands through chance circumstance) "We've just got ourselves another mouth to feed" (When realizing your wife has an unintended pregnancy) "We've got ourselves a big problem on our hands" (When everything was expected to go well)0 votedMay 7, 20180
- I can't tell you exactly why, but as a native English (American) speaker, I would say: The shopping malls, which are designed for two (purposes) The shopping malls, which have two (aims) -- (you could also say they "have two purposes") So "purposes" is more interchangeable but "aims" is more specific, something that you have to have, like a possession of sorts...I wish I knew how to explain why, but this is what comes natural and what you would normally hear.0 votedMay 7, 20180
"Baby steps": to go slowly while learning something, like a baby
Instead of travelling to Japan to learn Japanese by immersion, the man decided to take baby steps and learn online first.
"Baby face": usually a man, with a very young face (no hair, soft features, round ish)
The girls giggled when the man told them he was 28. He had such a baby face that he looked 19!
"Crybaby": someone who cries/whines/complains all the time, like a baby
The girl rolled her eyes when her 13-year-old brother stubbed his toe and started crying. She thought to herself: He's such a crybaby, he'll never get a girlfriend!
I had to look these ones up:
"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater": an old saying, meaning, don't throw out what is important when trying to throw out what isn't important.
I know this computer program is a piece of junk, but when you reprogram it, make sure that you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
"Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings": another old one, from the Bible according to Google, it means when something very wise is said by someone very young.
Her toddler had asked her mother to quit smoking, because "it was going to kill Mommy someday". Out of the mouths of babes...

So: Neither/nor: Not one, and also not the other Neither he nor I know English. Neither the dog nor the cat could enter the house. I did not know the answer, and neither did she. She did not want to draw, nor did she want to eat. Either/or: One or the other Either she or he needs to clean the house. Either you eat your dinner, or you will get no dessert. She wanted either the purple or the red dress. He could write his exam, or he could play video games.0 votedDecember 24, 20160
Vu Lan Festival
Today it's is a special day in Vietnam; that's it's the day children show gratitude to one's parents. Buddhists always get vegetarian menu on at Vu Lan festival always,;even people doesnt be who aren't Buddhists they still eat vegetarian. So our company had a vegetarian lunch, and people seemed to enjoy with the vegetarian dishes so very much. And people will go to a pagoda to pray for their parents to be healthy, peaceful...etc. Especially when we go to a pagoda, there are monks group groups of monks who have many roses (two kinds of rose: red and white), and they will ask of about your mom. If somebody's has a mom who is living, then they will give put a red rose on your shirt,; and a white rose will give be given to somebody's whose mom who has died. I am not a Buddhist but I love this day. Today it's is the first time I have had a vegetarian menu for 3 meals. I wish to for all parents to have health, and happiness, and I want to say thank you to all parents in the world. For me, every day it's is Vu Lan festival. :)
