how are you i'm fine okay i think very nice now we tend to use these

expressions over and over again so in today's video

we're going to learn some smart english expressions

that you can use instead of these ordinary expressions

and you can use them in your daily english

casual conversation to sound like an advanced english speaker

so let's get going

hey everyone this is chetna and you're watching ChetChat

and today we're talking about those smart english expressions

that you can use instead of those ordinary terms

and by the end of this video you're going to sound like a fluent english

speaker with advanced vocabulary and you're

never ever going to use those common expressions

ever again so expression number one is how are you how are you tends to be a

very old-fashioned phrase almost like you're saying it without

actually expecting a response so here's what you can say instead how's

it going this one is very popular how's it going

how have you been and you can shorten this to how have you been

this is very warm and friendly and i particularly like using this

how have you been how's everything how are things

or how are things going this one is asking not only about the person

but also about like an overall life update

how are things so how are you doing in fact the r is actually not there it's

like how you doing what's going on this one

is a little american and in fact if you haven't met

someone for a little while and you suddenly meet them you can say

what's going on hey what's new or what's new with you

again another nice way to say how are you is what's new

what's up this one is super super casual in fact it's got shortened to just sup

hey sup what's up now you know more than the

words that you use it's actually the tone and the intent to

be warm and friendly and to find out what the other person's

life has been all about and your sincerity is going to come

through in your tone of voice no matter which words you choose now

quickly put down a comment under this video

telling me which of these was your favorite and if you know any other

beautiful expression to say how are you put that down as well at number two is

i am fine now i'm fine or i'm fine thank you is like too boring and too

overused so let's see what we can say when someone asks us

how we're doing i'm doing well or i'm doing well

thank you how you doing i'm doing well i'm good how about you now we never say

i'm doing good we either say i'm doing well

or i'm good if somebody asks you how are things

things are good how's everything everything's good

how are you i'm good or i'm great not bad how are things with you

not bad how's it going not bad nothing much what's going on nothing

much pretty good this is a popular american

term how have you been pretty good no

complaints or as good as can be now i love using

this especially nowadays in times of the lockdown when someone

asks me how is it going i say no complaints

as good as i can be now you know again a lot depends on your

intonation you could say no complaints and actually sound like you have a lot

of complaints or you could say no complaints as good as i can be and

one of my friends who was super highly positive and optimistic

whenever i ask them how are you said better than fantastic

would be an understatement oh my god how optimistic can somebody be

now which of these was your favorite quickly put that as a comment under this

video and if you have an interesting way to

respond to how are you tell me that as well and if you're

looking for articale with more words and expressions and smart words and phrases

we've got a lot of them listed for you in the description box

under this video expression number three okay

now okay clearly must be the most overused expression in english language

in fact it's got shortened to just one alphabet k now

let's look at some very exciting and interesting ways to

agree with someone i i now this is a naval term but you can

when you want to say okay and yes to somebody you can say i i

it literally means okay okay it's a kind of fun way to say

so if your friend says call me today at 6 pm you can say

aye aye roger that roger that also means copy that

or i understand for example you get together and your friends say

hey we have a zoom call tonight at 9 pm you can say

roger that okie dokie this one is light-hearted and when you want to keep

something fun warm and affectionate you can say okie

dokie so if your elder brother says hey come on quickly let everyone get

into the car you can say okey-dokey now the next three terms are

particularly useful when for example someone's made a plan

and they've suggested it to you and you agree with the plan and you want

to express that now instead of saying okay you can say sure go ahead or

by all means or certainly i agree with your plans sure go ahead by

all means or certainly righto righto is

casual and it's british and if someone tells you

i think we should study right now you can say righto

all righty this one is my favorite all righty

this one is a little casual and fun as well so if you need to go somewhere and

if there's a plan getting made you can say

all righty let's go then sounds good or sounds good to me this you can use

in a sort of formal situation when someone says

this is this is what i'm suggesting to you and you want to agree with them you

can say sounds good or sounds good to me now

once again you surely liked one of these or two of these

and quickly put a comment for me telling me which of these was your favorite

at number four is very nice how's this very nice how's that very

nice now it's not so nice to keep saying nice

all the time so let's look at some interesting new

and different expressions that you can use when you want to say

something is nice amazing you are amazing

or fantastic that meal was fantastic incredible incredible means unbelievable

you can actually even use this to comment on someone's social media post

for instance what an incredible shot phenomenal

this one is a little more than just nice it's like really really nice

for example you read a book and you totally loved it and you could tell

someone it was phenomenal a must-see

this one is when you're trying to talk about a movie or a show or maybe even

the chat chat video series you can tell your friends it's a

must-see lovely oh how lovely this is

extremely quintessential british and it's sort of universal

so you can use this in many different situations

absolutely lovely now in one of our previous articale

we gave you another word that can be used in place of lovely or how nice

and if you remember that word put that down as a comment right now under this

video at number 5 is i think

now i think we need to replace the boring word i think

and here's what you can say instead in all

honesty for example in all honesty what you just said may have been a

little rude in my opinion or in my view now when you want to be

a little more formal maybe you can say in my opinion

or in my view if you ask me now this is something typically that i

would say when i have to express my opinion

instead of i think i would say if you ask me

it seems to me that or to me for example i want to say to me this

color looks better than that color i believe this one can be very easy

because i think comes naturally to you so you

can reprogram yourself to say i believe every time you want to say i think i'd

say you had a party and the party was very

well organized you'd say i'd say it was a very well organized

party and tell me which of these was your
