Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 167 ”You got it.”

Hello everyone, Justin here with another

Bizmates for beginners video lesson.

This week we are going to cover the expression:

you got it.

So, what does this mean and how do we use it?

Well, we'll find out in today's class

but first, a quick review of last week's expression.

OK everyone, imagine I say:

Wow! The negotiation today is really tough!

How do you respond?
I'll give you five seconds, OK? Go!

And time is up.

If you said "Yes! I need a breather!"

then nice job and thank you for
remembering last week's expression

OK, so moving on to today's phrase

You got it.

This is what I sometimes hear:

Now imagine I'm talking to my good friend

and colleague Taro, and I say:

Taro, can you get me a coffee
when you go to the convenience store?

And Taro, he's a really nice guy so he says:

Sure.

OK, now there's nothing wrong with this

expression. I think it's perfectly fine.

But if you want to add a little

excitement or a little spice to your

English then you can say...

that's right.

You got it!

OK so when someone asks you to do

something for them you can say
you got it.

Okay? So for example let's imagine I asked you

to make a reservation for our dinner party next week

How do you respond?

You can say...
that's right.

You got it.
Okay?

So when someone ask you to do them a favor

or when your boss asks you to do something

a task, for example, you can respond with
you got it.

Alright, so pronunciation and rhythm

is fairly simple this week.
Just one small point.

So combine the two words here to

sound more natural.
So "you... got... it" becomes

you gotit.
Okay?

You got it.
Alright please repeat after me, everyone

you got it.

Good! Now after my sentence:

Can you get me a coffee
when you go to the convenience store?

Exactly. Thank you.

Okay, everyone, now one more
special point for this week's expression.

You got it has on more

additional or one extra meaning,

and that is "you're correct."

So if you ask someone a question

and they give you the right answer,

you can say
you got it okay?

So there are two different meanings.

So when you use this expression or when

you hear this expression, context is very

important so keep that in mind.
Okay everyone?

Alright, so today's bonus question is

another way to say:
Revenge.

Alright? So if you know the answer please

leave it in the comments below but if

you don't know the answer you can find

it in one of our previous Bizmates for

beginners video lessons, so check it out.

Alright everyone so that is it for me this week.

Thank you so much for watching.
As always,

have a great weekend, everyone and
I'll see you next time.

Thank you.
