Neil: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.
-
I'm Neil.
-
Feifei: Hello, I'm Feifei. All well, Neil?
-
Neil: Not great, Feifei.
-
Feifei: What's up?
-
Neil: I'm just so done with writing this report.
-
Feifei: You're done with it? You've finished?
-
Neil: I wish. The opposite. Lots more to do.
-
Feifei: So you're not done yet?
-
Neil: No, sadly. If you say you're 'so done with'
-
something - it means you are irritated and bored by it!
-
It's often a task that you don't want to do.
-
Feifei: Indeed. For example, I could say:
-
"I'm so done with recording with Neil."
-
Neil: Well, you could say it, Feifei. But it wouldn't be true!
-
Feifei: Of course it's not true. Let's hear some examples.
-
Examples : I need a new job. I'm so done with
-
delivering pizza.
-
I need to get to bed earlier. I'm so done with
-
feeling like a zombie every day.
-
I'm so done with learning Hungarian.
-
The grammar is so hard!
-
Feifei: So Neil, do you need some help with the report?
-
Neil: That's kind. I just need to sit down, focus,
-
and write the thing. It's just boring.
-
Feifei: If you like, we can swap. I'm making an incredibly
-
dull spreadsheet right now.
-
Neil: Wow. Sounds great.
-
Feifei: I'm so done with it.
-
Neil: Tell you what. Let's work hard all afternoon
-
and then treat ourselves to dinner.
-
Feifei: Done! Which means, of course, that I agree
-
to your suggestion.
-
Neil: Perfect. Bye for now.
-
Feifei: See you later!
