People who put in a little effort like that, people who try to find out for themselves, people like that will be able to understand English more deeply. Hello everyone! I'm Nishizawa Roy, an English doctor. This channel explains how to learn English in an unconventional way that makes difficult English easy to understand. Tony, do you know what it means to take a picture in English? Take a picture. Correct! It's like take a picture or take a photo. Then I have one more question. Why do you use the verb take? I don't know. In the previous video, I showed you how to grasp the image and English sense of the verb. In this video, I would like to talk about one of the basic verbs, take. Take also has a lot of meaning and is one of the verbs that are thought to be difficult to learn. How about Tony? Take also has a lot of meaning. Of course, I use it when I take a picture or go to the bathroom. Take is often translated as taking. For example, taking a picture, taking a risk, taking a break, accepting, accepting, as Tony said, going to the bathroom, taking a bath, taking a shower. Taking medicine is also used like take medicine. Also, it takes time, taking it, taking it, choosing it, getting on a public transportation, taking a deep breath, and so on. It's hard to remember all the meanings. That's what you think. If you look at the dictionary, it's written on several pages. If you can sensibly grasp this, it's not difficult at all. Language is something that even children can understand. If you think it's difficult, you're just thinking it's difficult. So I'd like to take a look at the simple form of take today. First of all, the basic verbs and all-knowing verbs are very English-sensitive. It means a lot. When you understand these words, it's important to first grasp the core image. If you compare this core image to a tree, it's on the right. First of all, it's important to sensibly grasp this. So what's at the core of take? It's the action of grasping with your hands. You can actually try this. At times like this, there are quite a few people who try to remember in words. Take is something you grab with your hands and take with your hands. I'm trying to remember like this. I'm expressing the action. Because it's a verb. So it's important to properly imagine this action of grasping with your hands. That's why I'm going to try this action myself. This is also a very good one. For example, take a risk. It means to take a risk. It means to put your hand on the risk and take a risk. One thing I want you to pay attention to is The core of take is the image of grasping with your hands. In the sense of physically grasping with your hands, I don't use it very much. The current take a risk is also grasping what you can't see as a risk. For example, take responsibility. Use it for things you can't see. It's a little different from using it physically. If you're physically grasping with your hands, For example, grab something that's moving. Catch Pick up Hold Grasp Grip Please keep in mind that such verbs are preferred. Take is often used in a slightly different way from the physical meaning. And another important point is What you take is often used as a hub. I explained the hub in another video. There's a space in your body. There's a space like a wire. It's in there. That's why I'm showing you that I have it. If you use it by hand, it's in your body. That's why I often take things. For example, if you say take a risk, It's a hub a risk. The relationship with this hub is also It's an important point to understand take. So the image at the core of take. The trunk of a big tree called take. It's a movement like grabbing with your hands. And there's a lot of branches spreading out of the trunk. There's a lot of branches spreading out. It's a big tree called take. It's important to grasp each branch sensuously. But here's where you can't imagine it properly. There are a lot of people who remember it in Japanese. It's not like that. Please connect everything with an image. From the core image of the trunk to the branch. It's connected properly. Please imagine it well. And if there's something you don't understand, I'd like to look into it a little bit. Ask someone a question. That's how you solve that question. And grab it sensuously. I recommend you try it. Let's take a look at the branches together little by little. First of all, for example, Take this road. You can say that. This is when there are several roads. This road. Take this road. In other words, don't you think it means to choose? So take. It's like grabbing with your hands. It's like being active. It's like going here aggressively. It's like choosing this. There's a nuance of being so active. If you think about it, Take a risk. Take responsibility. If you take that, Don't you feel a little more active? I feel it. Next, take a photo. Take a picture. People who memorize this may think it's easy. But if you take it sensuously, It's pretty deep. Tony, how do you take a picture? It's like holding the camera and pushing the shutter with your hand. I use my hands. Take is related to hands. And when you push the shutter, Take this scene. Take it at this moment. Don't you choose? I choose. It's like a take. And if you say take a photo, What happens to the picture you took? It's going to be a hub. It's like a take. Can you imagine it? I can imagine it. Next, take a break. Let's go to take a break. Take a break. I choose to take a break. By the way, you can say have a break. There's a chocolate called Kit Kat. Have a break. Have a Kit Kat. Have a break. Take a break. Let's take a break. Let's have a break. What's the difference? Let's take a break. Take a break. It's going to be like that. Using have to say let's have a break. Have is a verb that originally shows the state. So it's not an aggressive move. If you translate it into Japanese, Take a break. It's an aggressive way to take a break. Have is a little more natural way. You can use it for taking a break. So I hope you can take it like that. Next, what do you say when you take a bath? Take a bath We use take a bath a lot. Especially in American English. This a bath means the act of taking a bath. We use take a bath when we take a bath. We choose to take a bath. In American English, we use take a bath a lot. But in English, we use have a bath a lot. You can say take a bath or have a bath in English. There is an interesting story. I heard this when I was studying linguistics. There is a desire of a baby. Babies ask their parents to take a bath. That's not a take a bath. Babies don't think they're going to take a bath. Babies are more receptive to be bathed. Babies have the act of taking a bath in their own habitat. That's why we say have a bath. But when adults take a bath, they take off their clothes and go in. That's a take a bath. Next is take medicine. Many people just memorize that they use take medicine when they take medicine. By the way, in Japanese, we say drink. Some people think of drink in English. We don't say drink in English. Why? Drink is a verb that means to drink liquid. Basically, we use it for liquid. There are a lot of drugs that are not liquid. That's why we don't use drink. In Japanese, drinking is not limited to liquid. It's like passing through your throat. For example, we don't chew solid food. It's not limited to liquid. That's why we use drink in Japanese. So why do we use take in English? People don't drink unless they actively drink. Some people forget to drink. Some people say, I got medicine from the doctor, but I won't drink it. That's why it's important to choose and drink every meal. In addition, many people use their hands when they take medicine. They grab the medicine with their hands and put it in their mouth. I think that's why we use take in English. Next, let's look at the expression used by foreigners. Let's look at take two. Two is basically an arrow. For example, there is a saying, go to doko doko. For example, go to the park. It means to go to the park. This is an arrow that represents the destination. Two is an arrow. The arrow points to the park. It's an expression called take two. For example, take my camera to the park. If you say it like this, take my camera and point to the park. Then you can interpret it as take. Yes, you can. For example, take my son to the park. If you say it like this, take my son to the park. Then you can interpret it as take. This is a Japanese question. In Japanese, we distinguish between people and things. But in English, people and things are basically indistinguishable. In the same way, you can say take two. Anyway, it's good to feel the movement of grabbing and moving. Next is take out. When I say take out, I think of fast food. In American English, people often say to go. In English, it's like take away. There are many people who use away rather than out. So don't stick to take out. Take out means to take and out. Out is the opposite of in. In other words, the movement of going out of the inside is out. In other words, take and out. I think you can imagine the movement of taking something out of something. For example, taking something out of your bag is also take out. You can also use take out for people. Then you can imagine the movement of taking something out of the house. I think Tony likes baseball. There is a song that is often sung in Major League Baseball in the United States. Take me out to the ball game. There is a song like this. This is the end of the 7th inning. There is a song like this. Even if you just say take me to the ball game, Take me and go to the ball game. It means to take you to a baseball game. By adding out, Take me out to the ball game. It's like taking you out of the house. It's like taking you outside. That's the nuance. By the way, at first, take means to grab it by hand. I said I don't use it much in the sense of physically grabbing it. Take to and take out that came out now. Some people may have felt that it was a little physical. I'm not just grabbing it. I'm moving it from there. Move it outside with out. Take it somewhere with to. The focus is on the movement. So it's not just a physical grab. So I've introduced you to the branches of Take. Take is really a tree. There are many branches. I've introduced you to some of them. There are many branches other than this. By all means. I want you to feel the movement of grabbing the core image by hand. Then you'll use your hands. I think you'll be able to feel the will to choose and be proactive. I hope you can find out about it while feeling the nuance. People who make such small efforts. People who try to find out for themselves. People like that. You'll be able to understand the language more deeply. It's not about teaching me anything. It's important to find out more about yourself. By all means. I want you to actively look into yourself. Take is really interesting. When I was a student, I was excited to look into Take. I think it's well done. I hope you enjoy learning while enjoying it. Thank you for your story today. Take is a core image of grabbing by hand. Especially the difference between the words and the words. It was very interesting that there was a will. I thought it was a core image of Take. I'd like to look into the branches other than the ones you introduced today. I'm really excited. Thank you for today. Thank you for watching the video today.
