Explain, please!

Recently I've found it in my news feed on facebook. Just got interested what it means :)

Go easy on the egg nog. You never know what could go down...

 

Hi Anna! It's been ages. Hope you had a great Xmas and new Year. "Go easy on" in this context means don't have too much, or be careful of how much you drink. Regarding "you never know what could go down...", this means that if you DO drink too much, anything could happen afterwards as a result of your drunken state!!!

 

Hope this helps :)

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I want to learn English because it would be beneficial it's actually for me. I need to aquire very good English skills for my job, and I want to talk on in English with a foreign friend.

 

Well done!

Thanks :) I prefer this version, "Что ты хочешь от меня услышать?". I can see that literally this means "What do you want to hear from me?", which is more appropriate for quarrels!. I was also thinking of a situation when I was chatting to a Russian language partner on Skype for the first time, and they asked me to say something in Russian. I wanted to reply "What do you want me to say?", but didn't know how. Would "Что ты хочешь от меня услышать?" still be better than "Что ты хочешь, чтоб я сказал?", or is the first version really just said when two people are arguing together? Thanks in advance.

Craig you nutter! That first post cracked me up..... Despite being 3 months late, I suppose I should really add something constructive to the discussion, so I'd just like point out that Snoop's request "to axe somebody", no doubt made after consuming a shed load of gin'n'juice, sounds like a call to arms for all axe wielding cycle paths, and as such should be "axed" from the album.

I'm waiting for this answer too, i can't find the chat function anywhere!
