Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here, and welcome back to English

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,519
Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:14,359
week with a short, simple tip to help you speak

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:20,679
English more naturally and confidently. Today, let's look at a

5
00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:26,879
really conversational response, fair enough. We use fair enough when

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920
we want to acknowledge what someone said, even if we

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:37,079
don't completely agree. It's a polite and natural way to say, okay,

8
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:42,200
I understand your point. Like imagine you're choosing a restaurant

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,880
with the friend and they say I don't like spicy food.

10
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,640
You could reply, oh, fair enough, we can find a

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,840
different place. Or maybe you invite a friend out after

12
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,799
work and they say, oh, thanks, but I'm a little

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,000
too tired to go out tonight. You can reply with, oh,

14
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,480
fair enough, let's go out a different time. And here's

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,920
another situation. Maybe you suggest watching a horror movie and

16
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,120
your friend says I can't watch scary movies before bed.

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,040
You might reply fair enough, let's pick a comedy. We

18
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,599
often use fair enough to show respect for someone's opinion

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,519
or situation. It keeps the conversation friendly and relaxed, and

20
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,239
it's a short, natural response you'll hear all the time

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,319
in every Day English. Why not leave your example in
