Hey, this is Seema.

Welcome back once again to another very interesting lesson on different ways to say what to say that I, um, confused.

Well, how many of you feel this emotion all the time?

I do.

We all get confused pretty much all the time, right?

But the problem is, if you are using this word too often, I think that your vocabulary needs a little bit of a push.

Therefore, today, I'm gonna teach you the different ways to say I am confused.

There are many ways to say that there are actually eight different ways that I'm gonna teach you.

So the first way to say that is I, um, perplexed.

I'm perplexed.

The pronunciation is pear plex, not poorer.

That pepper perplexed.

Okay, so what does that mean?

It means that you are confused, but you are also worried at the same time.

Now, that's not a very good combination, right?

You are really confused.

But you're also worried.

How can you use that in the sentence?

Well, Sam was perplexed when the doctor diagnosed her horn, meaning probably his wife with high blood pressure.

Now we're assuming that probably the wife was quite young.

She did not have any ailments before, but all of a sudden, well, Bam, he gets to know that she's got high blood pressure.

He's confused.

But at the same time, he's really worried.

And therefore he would say, I am perplexed.

Okay, so if you're still perplexed or confused, let me show you another example.

So some once he gets to know that his wife was diagnosed, he in the perplexed own.

We'll ask the doctor.

What are you talking about?

He will ask in a perplexed tone, which means he's sounding confused and worried at the same time.

Okay, let's look at another way off saying that I'm confused.

The second way to say that is I, um, baffled.

That's a nice sounding word, right?

But what does it mean?

It means that you're confused and you were surprised at the same time.

I mean, you're confused so much to the point of being surprised.

Well, I don't think that's a very bad thing, but let's see what it really means when you use that in the sentence.

Okay, so I am baffled that those who are even doing a good job get trolled on social media Well, it's quite confusing.

I'm quite surprising that, you know, you do a good job, and you kind of have a great video on social media, but people troll you.

That's not great, right?

So when that happens, you are baffled.

Okay.

Lets looking under example.

Some people are baffled by what celebrities do what I am.

Some celebrities do really outrageous things.

They might just end up, you know, really surprising you.

But they're actually confusing you on surprising you at the same time.

And therefore you get pretty baffled.

Okay, Let's look at the other way of saying I'm confused, which is I, um I will guard.

Okay.

Don't worry about the word.

I know it sounds big, but let me help you pronounce it.

It is a bit withered.

Bewildered.

Okay, not so difficult.

Really.

So what does that mean?

It means that you are confused, Andi, at the same time, you don't know what to do next.

That's not good thing to go through, right?

I mean, you're already confused, but you don't know the next course of action that you have to take.

So in a sentence you could say the teachers were bewildered when they learned that Sarah, who always got an A, decided to drop out.

Well, that happens, right?

Sometimes you have some really good students in school.

For whatever reason, they don't continue with their studies on.

They drop out well, you are bewildered because you don't know what to do next.

You don't know how to help them out.

Or you can also use it in another sentence by saying some shoppers looked bewildered by a wide variety of choices at the sale.

I mean, you know, when it's Christmas time, you go to a mall and they're so meant so much variety in clothes and shoes.

You're bewildered because you're confused.

You don't know what to do.

This too many things you don't know how to decide.

So you're confused to the point that you don't know what to do next.

Okay, All right, then let's look at another interesting way to say that you are confused.

You will say I am them used now.

A lot of people think that bemused and amused means the same thing.

Don't get don't get me wrong.

Amused means it means that you find something very funny.

You know, someone cracks a joke.

Oh, I'm amused.

Ha ha ha.

But when you are bemused, what does that mean?

It means that you are slightly confused.

The degree to which you are confused is a little small.

Not so much A little small.

So in ascendance, you could say she looked bemused when the waiter came to her table with dessert.

I mean, come on, I ordered for the main course.

Why did you get me dessert?

I was slightly bemused.

I was slightly confused.

Or you could say I was a bit bemused when my wife started to suddenly talk sweetly after we had a fight.

Now, guys, I know your wives or your girlfriends.

When you have a fight, the last thing you expect is for them to come and talk to you so nice and sweet.

But well, when that happens, what happens?

You were slightly confused.

You know, you don't know what's going on, right?

So you are amused.

All right, then let's look at the next way of saying you are confused.

I am muddled Now.

This word modeled comes from the word mud.

Mud means too much of dirt, right?

So what does it mean?

It means that things are mixed up in your head.

Does Dort in your head you are so confused because nothing's clear because everything is like dirty in your mind.

Everything is mixed up in your head, so let's see a sentence.

I always get muddled when people talk too fast.

Yes, that's true.

You know when I'm on the telephone.

And if someone's not talking slow enough for me to understand, I, um, really models.

I don't like that, but well, some people do tend to talk a little fast, right?

Or you could use it in the sentence by saying John is a bit muddled about his investments after the market's crashed.

Well, sometimes when the market's not doing too well, there's just too many things that you have to consider as faras your investment options are concerned on.

That's when you may feel a little muddled.

So the next way off saying I'm confused is I, um, disoriented.

Now don't get worried.

Looking at the word I know it's looks very big, but let me help you pronounce it this oriented, disoriented and what does that really mean?

It means that you lose sense off direction.

So let's say you want to go in this direction, but you're not able to do that because you've lost sense of direction and you end up going here, are probably here, get on a very smart thing to do.

But mostly this happens due to drugs or any kind of alcohol abuse, Right?

So how do you use that in the sentence?

How do you use?

I am disoriented when you're talking?

You could say he walked out of the bar completely disoriented, and they had to call a cab for him.

Obviously this guy walks out of the bar.

He can't even walk straight on what happens.

He can get a cab.

So someone has to call the cap for him because he is disoriented, very confused, and he has lost his sense off direction.

We can have another sentence, which says most teenagers get disoriented under the influence off drugs.

That's quite an awful thing, but it happens.

You know, a lot of teenagers at a very young age.

Obviously they are disoriented in life because they've allowed the influence of drugs or alcohol to take over, so they probably drop out of school.

They don't do very well with their grades on their life is pretty much not so great.

So they are disoriented in life.

All right.

And then we move on to another way of saying I'm confused, which is I, um, dazed.

Okay, What does that mean?

It means that you were unable to think clearly because off a shock or a blow to your head.

Now, mind you when I say shock, it means a mental blow.

When I say a blow to the head, it means that it's a physical blow.

Like something has really struck me on the head.

So it could be a mental or a physical blow.

Okay, but in a sentence, How could you say you could say after the accident, Maria was dazed for many days.

Well, the sad thing is that when you have a really nasty accident, you can really be confused to a point where you are dazed.

You don't know what's happening because you're probably under medication.

You're under great pain under great stress.

So you are dazed on dhe.

We have another sentence which says, after the sudden death off his wife, Patrick looked quite dazed.

Well, when you have events in your life, which are very disturbing.

It's more of her mental shock, right?

Not a physical shock like Maria did, but a mental shock.

So he was dumbstruck.

He was dazed.

So after the sudden death of his wife, Patrick looked dazed.

And we have another one, which is I am puzzled, but this one's quite common, and one of the most most often used ones I am puzzled, basically means that you don't understand something.

I don't know how many if you have solved the puzzle, but a puzzle is not easy to understand, right?

You have to really figure it out.

You've got to really understand what it means, but it's not easy to do that.

So when you say I am puzzled you, it just means that you don't understand something, and therefore you are confused so I can say something like, I am puzzled by her strange behavior.

So maybe my friend, who was a really good friend of mine all of a sudden she doesn't want to talk to me.

She's kind of acting very weird, and that's why I am puzzled.

I'm confused, but I use the word puzzle because I don't understand her.

She's acting very strange.

I don't understand her behavior.

So that's it for me on this lesson.

On the different ways of saying I am confused.

I would encourage all a few to go out and use it because the more you learn, the more you should be able to apply it in your conversations in order to learn and speak great English.

Until then, keep watching, keep learning and keep practicing.

I'll be back with some more lessons.

Take care and see you soon.
