hello everyone and welcome back to
english with lucy today i'm going to
teach you short and fast business
english this video is going to be
absolutely packed full of vocabulary and
phrases that you can use at work in a
business environment at university at
school basically anywhere but it's
strictly about the topic of business
quickly before we get started I would
like to thank the sponsor of today's
video it is lingo de with their brand
new business English courses if you
haven't heard me mention lingo de before
it's an online language Academy which
offers 24/7 classes with native
qualified teachers a lot of you have
been telling me that you're learning
English to improve your chances of
getting a job or to advance in the
workplace if that's the case for you
then business English is what you need
and lingo to have just launched a new
business English course business English
is a specialist form of English it
teaches you how to communicate in the
workplace write emails conduct meetings
and also addresses the cultural
differences between various
english-speaking workplaces for example
the differences between the UK the US
and then international businesses this
course is for intermediate speakers and
above and consists of 90 classes across
six months and you pay just once the
course opens the door to careers all
across the globe it helps with visa and
residency applications and it looks
fantastic on any CV so there's a one-off
payment of 999 euros which sounds like a
lot and remember that's one lump sum but
if you divide it up that's 11 euros for
an hour-long class in the comfort of
your own home in small group settings
and if you're not completely sure you
can get a free one hour trial class then
you will definitely know if the course
is for you to sign up click on the link
in the description box and use my
voucher code loose EBE for a 50 euro
discount right let's get on with the
lesson
okay so what is something that almost
everyone has to deal with at work
unless you work in like a manual labor
position emails emails are so boring and
so necessary luckily we have found a
clever way of making emails less boring
and less lengthy acronyms and
abbreviations so I'm going to talk you
through a massive load of acronyms and
abbreviations that are really commonly
used in business English primarily it's
really important for you to understand
them and also if you feel comfortable
with them and you feel like you're in
the right situation you can use them as
well so I'm going to put the
abbreviations and acronyms on the screen
and then I'm going to give you a little
bit of time so you can use your brains
and see if you can work out what they
mean before I show you the answer
get out your tablet or your notepad and
pen you're going to want to write these
down and review them later also as
always your homework and yes we do have
homework and online free English classes
on YouTube your homework is to comment
down below with any extra that you think
I've missed and that way we can all
learn from each other right let's begin
with a couple of abbreviations number
one a V on its own ver I invert the hot
the hot what do you think it means it
means very I am very pleased with the
outcome number two what do you think
this one means it means business could
you send that to my business email
address number three this one it means
corporation the corporation tax is going
to be high this year number four what
does this one mean it means Department
tell the marketing department I'm not
happy number five what do you think this
one means
it means limited as in limited company
for example Fine Foods Limited have
called again
number six deaf I bet you can guess this
one I bet you can means definitely I
deaf one to hire him I definitely want
to hire him we also in a this is
strictly slang this is not workplace
speak we can say deaf Oh as well I deaf
I want to go but that's not an emails
that's a little bit too casual number
seven what do you think this one means
it means perfect that looks perfect to
me
number eight this one it means with are
you coming with me and number nine Oh
what could this one be it means without
or are you going without me right let's
go on to the acronyms acronyms of
pronounceable words formed from the
first letter of each word contained
within them so these acronyms will be
found in emails that we found in text
speak but people use them to save time
they might be used a little bit more in
internal emails if you're talking to
clients it's not so polite to use these
acronyms number one tbh what does this
mean it means to be honest to be honest
I don't think the client will care
number two
NBD what do you think it means it means
no big deal no big deal I'll do it
tomorrow
number three e OD
this is an important one and I remember
feeling confused by it when I first
started working in an office aged 17 18
18
it means end of day I need the report by
end of day today number four I am Oh
sometimes I am H oh I wonder if that
helps it means in my opinion or the H in
my honest opinion in my opinion it's not
worth your time
number five LMK let me know when you've
worked that one out oh she said it it
means let me know okay let me know if
you need any help
number six oh I'm kidding it's just Oh
what does it mean it means out of the
office out of office and this is
normally the thing that you will get as
a response if you email someone and
they're on holiday the response will be
automatic ooo until the 6th of July I'm
out of office until the 6th of July I am
out of office on holiday call my manager
if it's urgent
number 7 POC what you think it means it
means point of contact do you have a
point of contact for that company number
8 TOS have a guess oh I'm a poet and I
didn't even realize it I know it should
be I'm a poet and I don't know it anyway
it means Terms of Service have you
checked the Terms of Service for any
loopholes number nine one of my personal
favorites because it can be so
passive-aggressive TDLR if you use
reddit you'll know about this
it's part of reddit etiquette it means
too long didn't read I love it too long
didn't read too long didn't read can you
send me a summary someone sends you
pages and pages of emails oh my god
there's nothing I hate more than
receiving an essay and then having to
read on number ten ASAP or as some
people say sap what do you think it
means and actually is there an
equivalent for this acronym in your
language I'd love to know because it
seems so commonplace in the UK it means
oh and the US it means as soon as
possible I need that on my desk ASAP
number eleven ETA this one's good I use
it a lot especially to will when I want
to know well I want to know what his
estimated time of arrival is yeah what
time he's coming home
ETA estimated time of arrival what's
your ETA to the office what's your
estimated time of arrival to the office
the next one
q1 q2 q3 q4 what do they will mean these
are important in business they mean
quarter one quarter two quarter three
and quarter four it's the three months
sections of the year that's how most
businesses generally work they look at
the first quarter that's January to
March etc etc so profits were down in q2
profits are down in quarter two the last
one I see why am I
Akemi don't try and pronounce that no
one does that it's just written it means
in case you missed it in case you missed
it here are the pictures from the
Christmas party ah
I once disgraced myself at a Christmas
party but that's a story for another day

从几个缩写开始
你认为这意味着这
意味着非常我对第二个结果感到非常满意
你认为
这意味着什么这意味着企业
你能把它发送到我的企业电子邮件
地址吗第三个这意味着
公司公司税
将会很高 今年第 4
这个是什么意思 部门
告诉营销部门我
不高兴 第 5 你认为这个
是
什么意思它意味着有限，例如在有限公司中
，Fine Foods Limited
再次打电话给

这个我敢打赌你可以肯定意味着我
聋了要雇用他我绝对
想雇用他我们也是
严格的俚语这不是工作场所

我想要 去，但那不是一封电子邮件
，有点太随意了
第七号你认为这意味着
什么它意味着完美对我来说看起来很完美
第八号这意味着
你和我一起来吗？第九号哦
，这意味着什么？ 无论
是没有我，还是你没有我，让我们
继续看首字母缩略词，
由其中
包含的每个单词的第一个字母组成的可发音单词的首字母缩略词，
因此这些首字母缩略词将
在我们在文本中找到
但人们使用它们的电子邮件中找到 为了节省时间
，
如果您与客户交谈，可能会在内部电子邮件中更多
地使用它们使用
这些首字母
缩略词不那么礼貌。 客户会关心
第二个
NBD 你认为这意味着什么
没什么大不了 我明天会做
第三个 e OD
这是一个重要的问题，我记得

你需要任何帮助，请告诉我
第 6 号哦，我在开玩笑，这只是哦，

号码 7 POC 你认为这意味着什么 这
意味着联系点 你有
那个公司的联系点吗
8 TOS 猜一猜哦我是 一个诗人，我
什至没有意识到我知道它应该
是我是一个诗人，我不知道
它 意味着服务条款您是否
检查过服务条款中的任何
漏洞，我个人最喜欢的第 9 号漏洞，
因为如果您使用 reddit，它可能会非常
被动攻击 TDLR，
您会知道
这是 reddit 礼仪的一部分，这意味着
太久没有 没读 我喜欢太久
没读太久 没读 你能不能
给我一个总结 有人给你发了
一页又一页的电子邮件 哦，我的上帝
没有什么比
收到一篇文章然后不得不继续
阅读更让我讨厌的了 第 10 号 ASAP 或者有些
人说 sap 你认为它
是什么意思，实际上我很想知道
这个首字母缩略词在你的语言中是否有等价物，
因为它
在英国似乎很常见，它的意思是
哦，美国它的意思是
尽快我需要在我的办公桌上尽快
11 号 ETA 这个很好 我
经常使用它特别是当我
想知道的时候 我想知道他的
预计到达
时间是的 他什么时候回家
ETA 预计时间
你是什么 r 到达办公室的
预计到达时间 您预计到达办公室

在业务中很重要 他们的意思是
第一季度 第二季度
第三季度和第四季度 这
是一年中的三个月部分 这就是大多数
企业通常的工作方式，他们查看
1 月至 3 月的第一季度
