B. In some American movies, people often say "move it!" Does this mean "Let's go"? and is it polite to say?
Thanks a million
Namsteven | A. Yes; "to make life come to life" is figurative. Otherwise, your soulmate would have to conceive you to make that sentence a fact rather than a belief or opinion. B. "Move it," can mean more than, "Let's go." It can also mean, "Get out of my way!, or, "Shake what your momma gave you!(Dance!)" I'm not sure that it's ever polite, unless you're addressing a friend or someone with whom you are familiar.  TTFN! |
