hi everybody welcome back to ask alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and i answer them

maybe okay let's get to your first

question this week

first question this week comes from

hamza hi hamza

hamza says what's the difference between

collaborate

and cooperate and how do we use these

words in sentences

okay well it depends a little bit on the

situation

let's talk about cooperate first

so to cooperate means to do

something in accordance with rules like

to

follow rules to do something that's like

in line with society's expectations this

is one use of cooperate

for example you might have seen a sign

in english that says

no smoking here thank you for your

cooperation

so that's an example of cooperate used

as a noun as cooperation

but it means thank you for following the

rules thank you for your

cooperation so it's like you're

following some kind of societal

guideline so cooperate can have this

meaning

we also see cooperate used to mean

working together

especially when it's like two people or

two groups that might not usually work

together

for example the two countries cooperated

to reduce

pollution in the ocean in that example

sentence

it sounds like the two countries might

not otherwise work together

we use cooperate to express that both

parties both groups

get some kind of benefit from the

situation

so cooperate has these two primary

meanings of following rules

and of working together with somebody

for mutual benefit

usually somebody that you wouldn't work

with so let's compare this then to

collaborate collaborate and the second

meaning of

cooperate share the meaning of working

together with someone yes

but when we use the word collaborate

it's like you're working together

closely with someone to make something

very intellectual like creative or

artistic

so this can be like music it could be a

research paper it could be a movie

it's like two people or two groups

combine their specialties to make

something special to make something

unique so for example

my two favorite musicians collaborated

and made an amazing album

let's all collaborate to make the event

a success

or researchers from the engineering

department

and the computer science department

collaborated on this research paper

so those are situations in which

collaborate is much more natural to use

than cooperate

it also sounds when we use collaborate

like it's kind of natural for those

people to work together

if you use cooperate it kind of sounds

like it's not so natural or they might

not do those things

there's one other meaning of collaborate

which is like to

help the enemy or to work for the enemy

so like if you imagine a spy from one

country

goes to another country and starts

working for the other country

we can use collaborate to describe that

relationship

as in the spy started collaborating with

our enemies

or we suspect that one of our employees

may be

collaborating with a competitor so that

means working together with someone

and it's usually used in a negative

situation

so it's used to mean like someone is

working for someone else

to like reduce our credibility or to

hurt us somehow and give someone else an

advantage

so there is also this meaning of

collaborate but generally you'll hear it

used to mean

the first meaning that i described so i

hope that this helps you

thanks for the question okay let's move

on to your next question

next question comes from andrea olivier

hi andrea

andrea says hi alicia i love your videos

very much cool

could you help me with the differences

between warranty

and guarantee yeah sure nice question

as nouns warranty and guarantee these

two mean the same thing

they both refer to a promise it's some

kind of promise about like a product

or a service so when you buy a product

like a new

piece of equipment or you buy some kind

of

like machine for example you might see

it says like two year warranty

or lifetime guarantee so that refers to

the length of

time that the person who made the

product

promises it will be good so if it breaks

you can get a refund or you can exchange

it for free or something like that

so in this sense warranty and guarantee

have the same meaning this kind of

product promise however guarantee

can be used as a verb and in some of

these verb uses

it has a little bit of a different

meaning than just simply promise

so one of these is like to say something

with confidence one of the meanings of

guarantee

is like to say something or to share an

opinion with confidence

for example i guarantee you'll love this

restaurant

so that's like someone saying i know 100

i am very confident that you will enjoy

this restaurant

we can't use warranty to describe that

we can't use that

in any way to describe that kind of

confident opinion sharing

so guaranty has this meaning we also

have another meaning of guarantee which

is to secure

against so for example the insurance

company

secured the house against storm damage

another way to say that is the insurance

company promised the house would be

safe from storm damage so to secure

against is a special meaning of

guarantee and again we cannot use

warranty to have this meaning at all

so a good way to know which meaning of

guarantee is being used is to look at

the word that follows the verb

so guaranteed the house against storm

damage if you look after the word

guarantee

and you see against is somewhere after

it it's a pretty good chance that it's

this

secure against meaning if however it's

just someone kind of sharing an opinion

it's probably that asserting something

with confidence saying something with

confidence meaning

and yes we can also use guarantee as a

verb to mean

making a promise so i hope that this

helps you understand

warranty and guarantee and the different

ways that we can use the word

guarantee as a verb thanks for the

question okay let's move on to our next

question next question comes from bianca

hi bianca

bianca says hi alicia i think the words

to

also likewise even and as

well have similar meanings what are

their differences and in which

situations do i use them

yep common question okay so let's review

two

also and as well have the same functions

so we use them in just different parts

of the sentence

so two tends to fall at the end of a

sentence like

i want to go to the movies too or she

bought a coffee

too as well typically falls at the end

of a sentence

but it sounds a little bit more formal

than two

in everyday speech we tend to use two

more often

you may see two used before a verb

like i too want to go to the movies or

she too

bought a coffee this use however sounds

a little bit old-fashioned and we tend

not to use it

seriously if you hear this it's probably

being used for

humor so keep in mind again in some here

to and as well can go at the end of the

sentence that's typically where they go

also on the other hand typically comes

before a verb like i also

want to go to the movies or she also

bought a coffee so

we typically find it before the verb you

may see

also at the beginning of a sentence this

happens when the speaker wants to add

some information and they kind of just

forgot it in the first sentence

so you might see it at the beginning of

a sentence as well

likewise to move on to the next item in

your list

tends to be used by itself it's like a

response to something someone else said

it's like saying me too

and it's kind of friendly but a little

bit polite so for example if speaker a

says i had a great time chatting with

you

b might say likewise it was fun so it's

like saying me too but it's a little

more friendly and polite

and usually we just use it alone finally

even so even is probably the most

different of all of these words that you

introduced

before we talk about even let's take a

look at an example situation

i'm so excited for my friends to come

over to my house this weekend

i deep cleaned my house i bought a bunch

of snacks and drinks and i picked out

some movies to watch

i even bought some games to play so

you'll notice that even

comes before the last item in this

situation

i even bought some games to play so we

use even

in place of like and when we want to

emphasize that we're doing something

with all of our effort or that we're

kind of really focused on something

so the speaker expresses this excitement

and the speaker did

thing a and b and c to prepare for her

friends to come over

and then there's this other thing that's

even more like intense so she's

she's kind of expressing excitement by

using even here

instead of just and so we tend to use

even to express

emphasis this sounds like a lot more

like excited than just saying and i

bought some games to play if you say i

even bought some games to play it's like

showing your commitment i guess or like

your intensity in this situation

so i hope that this is a good

introduction to the differences between

these words

maybe i can make a whiteboard about this

in the future thanks very much for the

question

okay let's move on to your next question

next question comes from emma hi emma

emma says hi alicia i'm wondering when

we use the expression

you guys can i use this in a formal

situation

and can i use this with male and female

friends

what about kids when my kids are

fighting is it okay to say

you guys stop fighting thanks yeah

nice question generally when you say you

guys or even hi guys or hey guys is a

greeting

it means everyone or everybody it refers

to

all people whether they're men or women

so this is also like a very common way

for people on youtube to say hello to

their viewers they maybe start the video

by saying hi guys or hey guys

it's very common to do but it is

important to note that especially over

the last few years

people are considering carefully the

words that they are choosing

and guys in this expression can for some

people

feel like it's a little too male-centric

and like women are kind of getting left

out of the expression

so because of this situation

some people are trying to use different

ways to greet people

or using different words instead of you

guys as in the expression that you

introduced

so it's good to consider this for

example i don't start videos by saying

hi guys i say hey everybody

or hi everyone that's what i prefer to

use so

some other words that people have

suggested are words like

you all or y'all or folks or fam

or you can choose words that are

specific to your group like in your case

if you are talking to your kids you

could say kids

stop fighting or like in our case if we

want to talk to the people who watch our

videos

or if i'm making something for like

video or for audio content for the

internet i might

say learners for the people who watch

this channel or i might say viewers or i

might say listeners

so instead of saying you guys you can

kind of pick a more specific word

that's general for all genders so

yes to answer your question directly you

can use

you guys to refer to your kids or to

refer to your friends

but i think it's maybe just good to

consider that more and more people are

being conscious

and thinking carefully about the best

words to use so that

all genders can be covered in these

everyday expressions so i hope that this

helps you thanks very much for the

question

okay let's move on to our next question

next question comes from sergey hi

sergey sergey says hi alicia

you are a great teacher and a jolly girl

i really like it

i heard the phrase go big or go home

could you please explain what it means

yes first as an american english speaker

just a small side point

i strongly associate the word jolly with

santa claus so that's why your question

made me laugh a little bit

jolly usually is only used to describe

santa claus but

just a funny little note there anyway

regarding your main question

go big or go home go big or go home is

an expression that means

do something with all your effort or

your full intensity

or don't do it at all it's like saying

uh

do something if you came all this way to

do it or if you've worked this hard to

do it you should do it or you should

just

stay at home so you would hear this

maybe in like extreme sports or other

kinds of like intense activities or

maybe if you go to a restaurant and

there's some amazing food there and you

have one chance to eat it

your friend might say go big or go home

it's a very casual

friendly kind of rough expression i used

to use it a lot in videos i guess i

don't use it so much these days

but it's kind of like a an encouragement

phrase to say like

you know do it with all your effort or

don't do it at all

so go big refers to doing something with

your effort like having

big effort or go home like don't do it

just stay in your house

so i hope that this helps you thanks

very much for the question

礼物大家好欢迎回来询问艾丽西亚

您问我问题的每周系列

，我回答他们

也许好吧，让我们来

回答你本周的

第一个问题本周的第一个问题来自

hamza 嗨 hamza

hamza 说

协作

和合作有什么区别以及我们如何

在句子中使用这些词

好吧，这取决于

情况

让我们谈谈 首先合作

所以合作意味着

按照规则做某事喜欢遵守规则做一些

符合社会期望的事情这

是合作的一种用法

例如你可能看到一个

英文标语上写着

禁止吸烟谢谢 感谢您的

合作，这是一个将合作用作名词作为合作的示例，

但这意味着感谢您遵守

规则 感谢您的

合作，就像您

遵循某种社会

准则一样，因此合作可以具有这个

含义

在那个例句中，两国合作减少了海洋污染，

听起来这两个国家可能

不会合作

遵循规则

并与某人一起工作以

实现互惠互利

通常是您不会与之共事的人

，所以让我们比较一下然后

协作协作和协作的第二个

含义

共享

与某人一起工作的含义是的，

但是当我们使用协作这个词时

就像你正在

与某人密切合作，制作出

非常聪明的东西 tual 喜欢创意或

艺术，

所以这可以是音乐，也可以是

研究论文，也可以是电影

，就像两个人或两个小组

结合他们的专长来制作

一些特别的东西，从而制作出

独一无二的东西，例如，

我最喜欢的两位音乐家

合作制作了 一张了不起的专辑，

让我们一起合作以使

活动成功，

或者工程系

和计算机科学系的

研究人员在这篇研究论文上进行了合作，

所以在这些情况下，

合作比

合作更自然

就像那些人一起工作是很自然的，

如果你使用合作，

听起来不太自然，或者他们可能

不会做那些

事情。合作的另一个含义是

帮助敌人或为敌人工作

所以就像如果你想象一个来自一个国家的间谍

去另一个国家并

开始为另一个国家工作，

我们可以 使用协作来描述这种

关系，

因为间谍开始与

我们的敌人合作，

或者我们怀疑我们的一名员工

可能正在

与竞争对手合作，这

意味着与某人合作

，它通常用于负面

情况，

所以它曾经表示喜欢 某人

正在为别人工作，

以降低我们的可信度或以

某种方式伤害我们并给予他人

优势，

因此也有协作的含义，

但通常您会听到它

曾经

表示我描述的第一个含义，所以我

希望 这可以帮助你

感谢你的问题好吧让我们

继续你的下一个问题

下一个问题来自安德烈奥利维尔

你好

安德烈安德里亚说你好艾丽西亚我非常喜欢你的视频

很酷你能帮我解决

保修

和保证之间的区别吗是

的 名词保证和保证这

两个意思相同

他们都指一个承诺 它是

某种承诺，就像一个专业人士 管道

或服务，因此当您购买

新

设备之类的产品或购买某种

类似机器时，您可能会看到

它说像两年保修

或终身保修，这是指购买

的人的时间长度 让

产品

承诺它会很好，所以如果它坏了，

你可以得到退款，或者你

可以免费换货或类似的东西，

所以在这个意义上，保修和保证

具有相同的含义，这种

产品承诺但是保证

可以用作 一个动词，在其中

一些动词用法中，

它的

含义与简单的承诺有点不同，

因此其中一个意思是充满信心地说某事保证

的含义之一

是喜欢说某事或与某人分享

意见 信心

，例如我保证你会喜欢这

家

餐厅，就像有人说我知道 100

我非常有信心你会喜欢

这家餐厅

我们不能用保修来描述

我们不能使用

以任何方式来描述那种

自信的意见分享，

所以保证有这个含义，我们

还有另一个保证的含义，它

是为了

防止，例如，保险公司

保护房子免受风暴损坏，

另一种说法是

保险公司 承诺房子不会

受到风暴的破坏，所以

防止是保证的特殊含义，

而且我们不能使用

保证来表示这种含义，

所以了解所使用的保证含义的一个好方法

是查看

这个词 跟在动词

后面所以保证房子免受风暴损坏如果你照看保证这个词

并且你看到反对是在

它之后的某个地方它是一个很好的机会它是

安全的反对意义如果它

只是某种分享

观点的人可能是

自信地断言某事 以自信的意思说某事

，是的，我们也可以将保证用作

动词来表示

做出承诺 所以我希望这

可以帮助您理解

保修和保证以及

我们可以将

保证一词用作动词的不同方式谢谢你的

问题好吧让我们继续我们的下一个

问题下一个问题来自比安卡

你好

比安卡比安卡说你好艾丽西亚我 认为这些词

也同样甚至

也有相似的含义它们有什么

区别以及我在哪些

情况下使用它们

是的常见问题好的所以让我们回顾

两个

也有相同的功能

所以我们只在不同的部分使用它们

句子

so two 往往落在句尾，

比如

我也想去看电影，或者她也

买了

咖啡，通常落在句尾

，

但听起来比

每天两个更正式 演讲我们更经常使用两个，

你可能会看到两个用在动词之前，

比如我太想去看电影，或者

她也

买了咖啡，这个用法但是听起来

有点过时，我们倾向于

不

如果你听到这个，请认真使用它，它可能

被用于

幽默，所以请再次记住这里的一些

to 和 as well can go 在句子的末尾，

这通常是他们去的地方，

另一方面，通常出现

在像 i 这样的动词之前

还想去看电影，或者她还

买了一杯咖啡，所以

我们通常会在动词之前找到它，你

也可以在句子的开头看到这种

情况，当说话者想要添加

一些信息而他们只是

忘记了它时会发生这种情况 第一个句子，

因此您可能会在句子的开头看到它，

同样，移至列表中的下一个项目

往往会单独使用它就像

对别人说的话的回应，

就像在说我

，这有点像 友好但

有点礼貌，例如，如果说话

者 a 说我和你聊天

很愉快 b 可能会说同样很有趣，所以

就像在说我一样，但它

更友好和有礼貌

，通常我们只是单独使用它 最后，

即使如此，甚至可能

是您在我们谈论之前介绍的所有这些词中最不同的一个，

甚至让我们

看一个示例情况，

我很高兴我的朋友们

这个周末来我家

我深深地清理了我的 房子 我买了

一堆零食和饮料，我挑选了

一些电影看

我什至买了一些游戏来玩所以

你会注意到，

在这种情况下，甚至在最后一个项目之前

我什至买了一些游戏来玩所以我们

甚至使用

代替like，当我们想要

强调我们正在

尽全力做某事，或者我们

有点真正专注于某件事

时，说话者表达了这种兴奋

，说话者

做了a、b和c来准备 让她的

朋友过来

，然后还有另外一件

更激烈的事情，所以

她有点

用 even here

而不是 just 来表达兴奋，所以我们倾向于用

even 来表达

强调，这听起来像是很多 我

喜欢兴奋而不是仅仅说我

买了一些游戏来玩如果你说我

什至买了一些游戏来玩这就像

表明你的承诺我猜或者喜欢

你在这种情况下的强度

所以我希望这是一个很好的

介绍

这些话

也许我将来可以为此制作一个白板

非常感谢这个

问题

好吧让我们继续你的下一个问题

下一个问题来自艾玛你好

艾玛艾玛说你好艾丽西亚我想知道

我们什么时候使用

你们可以的表达 我在正式

场合

使用这个，我可以和男性和女性朋友一起使用这个

当我的孩子们在打架时，孩子们怎么办？

可以说

你们停止打架

吗？

伙计们是一种

问候，

它意味着每个人或每个人它指

的是

所有人，无论他们是男人还是女人，

所以这也是

youtube 上人们向

他们的观众打招呼的一种非常常见的方式，他们可能是明星 在视频中

通过打招呼或嘿家伙

这很常见，但

重要的是要注意，特别是在

过去几年中，

人们正在仔细考虑

他们选择的词语，

这种表达方式中的家伙可能会让一些

人

觉得它是 有点过于以男性为中心

，就像女性一样

，这种表达

方式会被排除在外

考虑一下这个很好，

例如，我不会通过打招呼来开始视频，

我会说大家好

或大家好，这是我更喜欢

使用的，

所以人们

建议的其他一些词是像

你们所有人或你们所有人或伙计们这样的词或 fam

或者您可以选择

特定于您的群体的词语，例如

如果您正在与您的孩子交谈，您

可以说孩子们

停止战斗，或者如果我们

想与观看您的人交谈，您可以说孩子们停止战斗或喜欢我们的情况 r

视频，

或者如果我正在为类似

视频或互联网的音频内容制作内容，

我可能会

为观看此频道的人说学习者，

或者我可能会说观众，或者我

可能会说听众，

所以不要说你们，你们

可以 选择一个

对所有性别都通用的更具体的词，所以

可以直接回答你的问题，你

可以用

你们来指代你的孩子或

指代你的朋友，

但我认为

考虑到越来越多的人

有意识可能是件好事

并仔细考虑

要使用的最佳词语，以便

这些日常表达中涵盖所有性别，

所以我希望这

对您有所帮助非常感谢这个

问题

好吧让我们继续我们的下一个问题

下一个问题来自谢尔盖嗨

谢尔盖谢尔盖说 嗨，艾丽西亚，

你是一位伟大的老师和一个快乐的女孩，

我真的很喜欢它

我听到了这个短语 go big or go home

你能解释一下它是什么意思，

首先作为一个美国英语使用者

，就像 商场方面的观点

我强烈地将欢乐这个词与

圣诞老人联系起来，这就是为什么你的问题

让我笑了一点

欢乐通常只用来描述

圣诞老人，

但无论如何只是一个有趣的小便条，

关于你的主要问题

去大还是回家去 big or go home 是

一个表达方式，意思是

全力以赴或全力以赴做某事，

或者根本不做这就像说，

如果你一路来

做某事，或者如果你已经如此努力地工作，那就做某事 要

做到这一点，你应该这样做，或者你应该

呆在家里，这样你可能会

在极限运动或其他

类型的激烈活动中听到这一点，

或者如果你去一家餐馆，

那里有一些美味的食物，你

有一次机会 吃它

你的朋友可能会说去大或回家

这是一种非常随意

友好的粗略表达我过去

经常在视频中使用它我想

我这些天不太使用它

但它有点像一种鼓励

说喜欢的短语

你知道全力以赴或

根本不这样做，

所以“大”是指用

你的努力做某事，比如

付出巨大的努力或回家，比如不要这样做，

只是呆在家里，

所以我希望这会有所帮助

非常感谢你的问题

好吧，这就是我
