7
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:58,120
you dislike something in English. Do you ever wish that you could just hang out with native speakers

00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:03,719
and pick up real English naturally? That's what it's like here on All Ears English. We're two friends

00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,759

Hey there, Aubrey, what's shaking?

15
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,659
Not much. How are you, Lindsay?

16
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,759
Feeling great today, but I have a key question for you today. You ready?

17
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:41,079
Yeah, let's hear it.

18
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,879
So Aubrey, in your daily life or just maybe right now in this moment,

19
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:47,280
is there anything you are loathe to do?

20
00:01:48,179 --> 00:01:54,519
You know, I am loathe to swim with my kids right now. Our pool is still ice cold,

21
00:01:54,819 --> 00:01:59,039
in my opinion. It's way too cold and they are ready to swim. They're getting in. They're like,

22
00:01:59,099 --> 00:02:04,359
mom, come swim with me. And it's way too cold for me. So I make excuses and I really, I'm like,

23
00:02:04,379 --> 00:02:09,560
I'll just dip my toes in. It's crazy. So I am really loathe to get in that cold swimming pool.

24
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,560
It's funny how we lose our nerves as we get older. It becomes harder and harder to get into

25
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,659
swimming pools or cold lakes or the ocean. When we're kids, we just run in like,

26
00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:22,659
we didn't mind at all. I know. Maybe our nerve endings are less sensitive when we're younger.

27
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:24,060
I don't know. We just don't care.

28
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,960
We just don't care. I don't know. We don't think about it. I don't know. We think a lot as adults,

29
00:02:29,099 --> 00:02:29,439
don't we?

30
00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:33,879
Yeah, for sure. Well, this is interesting. This word loathe came up in a recent episode.

31
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,599
Stay to the end and we'll share which one it is in case you missed it. But I realized when

32
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:43,360
proofreading the transcripts that it is spelled differently if it's an adjective or a verb.

33
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,479
That's a really good insight.

34
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,020
So I noticed like the misspelling and I was like, but usually I thought it did end with

35
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:52,640
an E. So this is interesting. We're going to share this today. This is a common error

36
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,979
by native speakers as well. So not something you really need to stress about. But if you can make

37
00:02:57,979 --> 00:03:03,680
this improvement, there will be times where people are impressed. If it's an email or a written memo or

38
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,140
something, especially at work, and you spell this correctly, you're doing better than probably

39
00:03:08,139 --> 00:03:10,259
80% of native English speakers.

40
00:03:10,699 --> 00:03:15,199
Oh, for sure. And I think even beyond just spelling it correctly, just using it is going

41
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:21,739
to put you probably in the top 25% of native speakers, I think. I don't think this is an

42
00:03:21,739 --> 00:03:25,259
average word. I think this is an above average word to use, Aubrey. Don't you think?

43
00:03:25,619 --> 00:03:30,619
Yes, it's an impressive word. We're going to go into both the verb and the adjective. And we're also

44
00:03:30,619 --> 00:03:37,079
going to share a few more interesting ways to share this because connection isn't just about things you have

45
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,580
in common and things you like. We also connect about things we loathe, things we dread, things we hate.

46
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:45,920
So this is interesting too. You need to also have this vocab.

47
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,740
Yeah. And it doesn't mean that you're a negative person. If you're always connecting, there can be

48
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:55,740
very positive connection around something you don't want to do, especially if you share that in

49
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:59,420
common with someone else. That can be a true connection moment as well.

50
00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:05,120
Yes, for sure. We also want to give a shout out. There was a comment on YouTube

51
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,759
from Rehaman from India. And there wasn't a question, but they just said, I love all your

52
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,960
podcasts. Could you please call out my name in your next podcast? So hello, Rehaman. Thank you

53
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,379
for the YouTube comment. And we wanted to give you a shout out. Wonderful. And guys, don't forget to go

57
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Awesome. All right. Let's dive in with this interesting vocabulary. So when we use the adjective

58
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:50,920
loathe, it's always in this chunk loathe to, loathe to do something. And this means to intensely dislike

59
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,980
or hate something. So like at the top of the episode, I'm loathe to swim in our pool. Or you might say,

60
00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:01,520
I'm loathe to go through haunted houses. I really don't like them. This is true for me.

61
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:06,120
I don't like jump scares. I don't want to be like, that's not fun. Do you like haunted houses?

62
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,560
I'm kind of the same way. I love, opposite word, I love going on ghost tours.

63
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:12,960
Oh yeah, that I would like.

64
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Yeah. You could be on the sidewalk and you're safe and it's happening in that house, right? It's not

65
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,819
happening to you. It's very different when you're in a haunted house and things are jumping out at you.

66
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:26,720
Right. I think this is for my brother would do this when I was young. He would jump out from behind a door,

67
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,520
and grab you and scream. And I really hate that now. I'm like, please don't jump scare.

68
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:33,400
Yeah, no jump scare. I love it.

69
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,300
But what's interesting is loathe this way as an adjective is spelled without an E. It's just

70
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:45,220
L-O-A-T-H, loathe to do something. So that's tricky. What's another example of using it this way?

71
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:51,320
So someone's habits, right? They're nocturnal. How awake are they? What are their habits? He has always

72
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:57,599
been loathe to get up early. Okay. Yes. He's just a nighttime person, not a morning person.

73
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,360
Exactly. Right. And like Lindsay said, this is a little less common, but it is impressive. It's

74
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,759
impressive vocabulary. You will hear it. You definitely can use it, but the spelling's a

75
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,379
little tricky because there's no E there. What about when there is an E, Lindsay? This is when

76
00:06:11,379 --> 00:06:15,939
it's a verb in the sentence. To be honest, this is a good review for me too, right? Remembering

77
00:06:15,939 --> 00:06:23,360
where the E goes. So we put an E at the end in this case, right? L-O-A-T-H-E, and that becomes a

78
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:30,980
verb. Okay. So for example, I loathe driving in snowy weather. And I think native speakers tend to

79
00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:37,500
punch that loathe too. I agree. That almost would be strange because it's like intense hatred or dread.

80
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,199
So it would be strange to be like, I loathe driving in snowy weather. Yeah.

81
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:44,399
Emphasize it. I loathe driving in snowy weather.

82
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:49,459
And it's also one of those kind of full mouth words. You need everything happening. So we really

83
00:06:49,459 --> 00:06:55,300
indulge in saying that word. Okay. I agree. Absolutely. Or maybe she loathes doing homework,

84
00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:59,160
right? This has, it can't be something that you just sort of don't like a little bit.

85
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,540
It really has to be a pretty intense feeling.

86
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,620
Love it. Love it. All right, Aubrey, where to now? What else do we need to know?

87
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:11,540
Yeah. So just the main thing is that these are pronounced exactly the same. So when you're

88
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:15,639
speaking, you don't have to worry about this at all. It's like effect and effect that we've talked

89
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,819
about recently. Yes. Doesn't matter when you're speaking, but they are spelled differently. So

90
00:07:20,819 --> 00:07:25,180
when you're writing, if you see the word loathe, you need to take a second. Okay. Is this being used

91
00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:31,100
as an adjective or a verb? And the big pro tip here is if it's loathe to, loathe to do something,

92
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280
that's when there's no E because it's an adjective.

93
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,939
Hmm. Really good to know. So if we're taking the IELTS exam, for example,

94
00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:41,579
or if we're just writing a business email, we need to know, or even a text message to a friend,

95
00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:45,659
we need to know the difference here. Okay. Absolutely. But let's share some other

96
00:07:45,659 --> 00:07:51,199
interesting options because if you're talking about being upset about something or angry or

97
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,399
something you dread or hate doing, there are so many interesting words to ways to say this,

98
00:07:56,459 --> 00:08:02,479
right? Yes. Yes. I really like the word abhor. Yeah. This is actually even stronger than loathe,

99
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,860
if you can believe it, because loathe is pretty strong. But if you say you abhor something,

100
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:10,960
that's like the most intense dislike that you can get.

101
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:17,460
Ooh. Okay. So for example, I abhor small spaces. I'm definitely claustrophobic. Are you

102
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:20,340
claustrophobic, Aubrey? Do you mind being in an elevator?

103
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:21,520
I don't think so. What about you?

104
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,700
No, I don't think so. I had an apartment in New York or Tokyo too.

105
00:08:25,699 --> 00:08:29,039
Right. If ever you lived in New York, you can't be claustrophobic.

106
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,819
Basically living in a closet. Yeah, for sure. But if I had to be in an elevator for

107
00:08:33,819 --> 00:08:38,600
hours and hours, then I might start getting claustrophobic. I can imagine the length of

108
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,799
time definitely would affect that. Yeah. Because your mind would start running,

109
00:08:42,019 --> 00:08:42,860
right? That's the key. Absolutely.

110
00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:44,379
Okay. What's another?

111
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:49,680
Or maybe this is about Michelle. She pours olives. She doesn't even like the smell of them.

112
00:08:50,379 --> 00:08:54,500
I know. I think Michelle doesn't love olives. I love them so much.

113
00:08:54,779 --> 00:08:59,820
And I'm sure a lot of our listeners love. I mean, it's a Mediterranean food. I love olives. I can't

114
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:03,980
imagine a life without olives or olive oil. I mean, I eat so much olive oil.

115
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:08,080
I have a feeling Michelle does eat olive oil. I think it's just the taste of like actual olives,

116
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,779
a bowl of green and Kalamata olives, but she is missing out. I love them so much.

117
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:19,480
So abhor is a good one. And then disdain is good. This is a noun, right?

118
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:23,899
Well, this is tricky. It exists as a noun and a verb. So let's go over the noun first. So this

119
00:09:23,899 --> 00:09:27,980
is the feeling that something isn't worthy of respect or consideration. So maybe like

120
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:35,000
she looked at him with disdain. So this is a noun here, right? It's what she's using to look that her

121
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,300
expression has disdain in it. Disdain, like not giving the person a chance, very close-minded,

122
00:09:40,299 --> 00:09:42,579
very negative, right? Absolutely.

123
00:09:43,199 --> 00:09:46,979
Or he's always treated her with disdain. Oh, strange word.

124
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,719
Yes. Yeah, it is kind of a strange word. And it also exists as a verb. They are spelled the

125
00:09:50,719 --> 00:09:52,919
same, luckily, unlike loathe. Good.

126
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:58,139
So this is like, if you treat someone like they're not worthy of respect, you can use this as a verb.

127
00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:05,699
So the main way I've seen this is if you disdain to answer questions. This is very rare

128
00:10:05,699 --> 00:10:10,039
in English that we use this as a verb. When I saw this in the dictionary, there's a verb and

129
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:14,319
a noun. I had to think, I'm like, I don't hear that very often. So maybe if someone say like,

130
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,820
I disdained to answer the questions or in present. And this is like, because you dislike the questions

131
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:25,680
or maybe if it were like on a crime show, be like, she disdained to answer. But this is definitely a

132
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,500
connotation of you are not answering them because you disagree with them. Something like that,

133
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:32,379
right? Interesting.

134
00:10:32,379 --> 00:10:34,879
You don't respect the questions for whatever reason.

135
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:38,640
Yeah. I mean, the courtroom idea, I know in a courtroom, well, at least on courtroom dramas,

136
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:43,360
we hear the word sustained a lot, right? A different word, but maybe in a similar family

137
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,519
sort of thing. I don't know.

138
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,799
Good point. Good point. So this is really interesting too, to think about.

139
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:54,460
Some of these we use more often in the past tense, right? We wouldn't really use abhor in

140
00:10:54,460 --> 00:11:00,319
the past tense. We're like, I abhorred that film. I loathed that restaurant. Not really, right?

141
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:06,120
Instead, we usually use these in the present because they're such strong feelings. It's more like,

142
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,960
this is something I always will always abhor or loathe because it's a strong, it's hard to like

143
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,320
hate something that strongly that just happened once, like one trip to a restaurant or something,

144
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:20,820
right? I see what you're saying. So it's almost like a state of being, this feeling.

145
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:22,360
Yes. Almost like state of being.

146
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Exactly. That's how strong it is, right? If it's something we don't like, we probably would say

147
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,820
like, oh, I really hated that. I absolutely detested it. Or I would say, I couldn't stand it.

148
00:11:33,019 --> 00:11:33,279
Yes.

149
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,419
I mean, I really didn't like it.

150
00:11:35,419 --> 00:11:39,819
Yes. I love that. That's a really important point. So it's the things that we really hate

151
00:11:39,819 --> 00:11:46,819
and we've always hated. We just don't identify with those things. We're using abhor or loathe,

152
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:53,000
whereas it's a single experience or a movie or a meal, lighter things like hate. I mean,

153
00:11:53,059 --> 00:11:57,939
light is not, hate is not light, but like we don't get that passionate about like an individual

154
00:11:57,939 --> 00:12:03,360
experience, right? So these words, this is what's important to, to pay attention to here is

155
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,940
these words really signify that a passionate dislike. And so it is strange if you use them.

156
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,379
We don't even really use them jokingly to talk about how much we dislike something. I guess you

157
00:12:14,379 --> 00:12:21,120
could be like, oh, I loathe spinach. And you're just joking, right? But for the most part, it's for

158
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,039
things that you really hate, feel very strongly about.

159
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:30,019
All right. Good to know. Excellent. Okay, Aubrey, we are back from break. Let's do a role play for

160
00:12:30,019 --> 00:12:35,059
today. Here we are discussing the foods that we dislike. Okay. Let's see.

161
00:12:35,059 --> 00:12:39,980
I'll start us out. I'm not usually picky, but I absolutely abhor eel.

162
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Really? I love eel rolls at a sushi place. Eel sauce is delicious.

163
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Yeah. It's not for me. I'm loathe to even think about eating eel. What about you? Are there any

164
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,560
foods that you can't stand? Hmm. Yeah. I've always had disdain for masago.

165
00:12:57,060 --> 00:13:02,039
Oh, that's fish eggs, right? Yeah. I don't know what it is, but I loathe it.

166
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Okay. Nice. So this is possible that you like really dislike certain foods and we would use,

167
00:13:08,179 --> 00:13:12,740
you know, abhor, loathe, whatever. But if you just mean to say like, I don't really like that very much,

168
00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:17,519
we wouldn't use these bigger, stronger words. I think a lot of people have issues around texture,

169
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:21,159
right? The texture of things. Even some people don't like the texture of eggs,

170
00:13:21,860 --> 00:13:25,500
but sort of fish eggs, the texture, I think people probably struggle with.

171
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:29,820
That's why I like eel, but I know someone who doesn't and I think it's a texture thing.

172
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:34,680
Yeah. No, eel is great. When I lived in Japan for my last meal there, my friends,

173
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:39,720
my Japanese friends took me to an eel restaurant, a place like in the mountains that specialized just in

174
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,180
eel. It was amazing. Wow. That's awesome. And I do love eel sauce. This is me. I think it's so

175
00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:50,300
tasty. It's a little bit sweeter on some rolls. Oh, so delicious. Yes, exactly. Let's go through

176
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:56,379
this. So again, you said, I'm usually not picky, but I absolutely abhor eel. It's kind of a weird

177
00:13:56,379 --> 00:14:00,720
word too, because we are kind of pronouncing the H, aren't we, Aubrey? Yes, we do have to,

178
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:05,160
right? You hit that H kind of hard, abhor. And this is another one where you have to like

179
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,639
hit the word hard. You have to emphasize it just like loathe. It's a little strange. We're like,

180
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,819
I really abhor that. No, you need the intonation needs to be powerful because the emotion,

181
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,579
the passion about the dislike is powerful. The word implies that.

182
00:14:19,019 --> 00:14:21,980
Yeah. We don't want to have that flat affect, right? We want to make sure we're

183
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:24,659
putting life into our words here. What else, Aubrey?

184
00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:30,199
Yeah. And then I said, oh, it's not for me. I'm loathe to even think about eating eel. So this is where

185
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,740
it's an adjective. I'm describing myself, myself as loathe to think about something.

186
00:14:36,259 --> 00:14:38,740
Hmm. Very interesting construction too. I'm loathe to even think.

187
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:40,879
Yeah. So it would be written without the E there, right?

188
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:47,620
Okay. No E there. Good. And then I said, hmm, yeah, I've always had disdain for masago.

189
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,000
Hmm. Yeah. Since I've always, and this is an interesting thing to say, like disdain,

190
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,800
because it does often imply more of like a lack of respect. So this would be sort of joking even to

191
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,559
say this about food. Be like, oh, I have such disdain for masago. Like I would probably laugh

192
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:08,819
at that. I'd be like, that's really funny because it usually does imply more like, um,

193
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:14,419
you, you, you are critical of something. You, you disrespect something.

194
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,019
Right. For bigger things than just food. Like food is just a taste. That's all it is. It's

195
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:25,019
sort of one dimensional. Right. But for example, like political parties or certain ways of thinking

196
00:15:25,019 --> 00:15:29,139
would be more common for disdain, right? That's where you would use it more literally,

197
00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:33,340
right? This is kind of more joking, but yeah, you could say you have disdain for a certain

198
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:37,899
political candidate or people who agree with a certain policy. That would be more because it's

199
00:15:37,899 --> 00:15:42,699
more of a lack of respect for that for sure. And then the last thing that was said was, yeah,

200
00:15:42,699 --> 00:15:48,600
I don't know what it is, but I loathe it. Right. So they just mean like, I really hate it. Yeah.

201
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,300
And this is because it's a verb. This would be spelled with an E L O A T H E. All right. Good

202
00:15:54,300 --> 00:16:00,200
high level episode for our listeners today at the B2 C1 level. I love it. Yes, absolutely. We want to

203
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,060
make sure that you don't miss the episode that inspired this and 2402 right here on All There's

204
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:11,600
English. Should you call someone cheap in English where we said sometimes people are loathe to spend

205
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,019
money. So use it as an adjective there. So it wouldn't have an E. Yes. And the connection piece

206
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:22,079
here guys for today is it's not always, it doesn't have to be about these positive, amazing things

207
00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:27,500
that you're connecting over. You can build just as strong of a connection over things that you loathe

208
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:33,079
and have disdain for. Okay. Absolutely. Yes. Right. I feel like that would even bond you closer with

209
00:16:33,079 --> 00:16:38,279
someone if you are sort of willing to admit these more negative things. I don't love everything,

210
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:42,699
right? The people I'm close to, I want to build a stronger connection with. I'm going to admit the things

211
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:47,820
that I really abhor. Especially if it's very, like most people love this thing, but you actually

212
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:53,080
have disdain for it, right? Yeah. A hot take. Yes, exactly. That could build a really strong sense

213
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,740
of trust and connection right there. So that's what we're going for. All right. Good stuff, Aubrey.
