Useful expressions

Here's this week's top 5 expressions I hear everyday from native English speakers:

1. You're a star.  - Thanks for your help. You're a star.

When someone helps me out I say 'you're a star!'

Tego wyrazenia uzywamy gdy ktos nam pomoze w rozwiazaniu jakiegos mniejszego badz wiekszego problemu. Anglicy uzywaja go dosc czesto wiec na pewno warto zapamietac.

2. She's got her knickers in a twist.

When your knickers are in a twist, you are angry and snappish over something trivial. 'Whenever he loses his car keys, he gets his knickers in a twist.'

Wyrazenie to uzywamy gdy ktos troche przesadza i puszczaja mu nerwy z powodu blahostek.

Your answer would be: Chill out / relax / stop freaking out about this!!!

3.  It's not rocket science.

"Coaching football is not rocket science and it's not brain surgery. It's a game, nothing more."

                                                      The Daily Intelligencer, December 1985

Tego wyrazenia Anglicy uzywaja dosc czesto, szczegolnie gdy sa poirytowani czyims brakiem wiedzy / kompetencji / pomyslunku, gdy ktos zle cos zrobi.

4. I've got it on the tip of the tongue.

Mam to na koncu jezyka!!! Mysle ze wiecej tlumaczyc nie trzeba :)

Przyklady:

5. Off the top of my head ....
