Question!!!!!!!!!!

[eric2004]

I'm all over you.
Means I like you?
or dislike?
How to use " all over "?

Where can help me to find out the meaning of "English expressions', such as "take the first shot" and "odds and ends"?

Hi, buddy. I am far from a Teacher, but allow me to present my two cents here. It seems to me that "I am all over you" suggest "I had liked/loved you before, but I don't now".

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is a good choice. I am talking about the CD version.
:wink:

 

[Tdol]

You're right. ;-)

 

[Susie Smith]

You're right. ;-)

Eric2004, you can visit http://www.phrasefinder.co.uk to find the meanings of many expressions, as well as the stories behind them.

 

[Tdol]

Good site. ;-)

Susie Smith, wow, wow. thanks a million. Nice to meet a Brazil ... girl? I like your football stars, especailly Kaka because I'm a Milan's fan. He's great and you're very helpful.

Eric2004, I'm glad to have been of some help to you. When you're a grandmother it's flattering to be called a girl, so thanks for that. I don't care much for soccer, but my sons love it. BTW, I do live in Brazil, but I'm an American.

Oops, I always made mistakes here. So Mrs, good for your sons, surely they will be able to compete for soccer with other American guys in the future, coz Brazil is the heaven of soccer. :wink: But only for soccer.

Eric, the word you were looking for is Brazilian. Also, say: "I always make mistakes." (Not exactly true, I think, but you are learning, aren't you?)

 

[eric2004]

Yeah, Brazilian, I reallh have issues on spellings of English words, like Japan VS Japanese, here Brazil VS. Brazilian, as well as other kind of spelling. Why didn't your ancestors just add "ese" into all countries' names in order to easily be rememb :wink: :?: :?: ered?

They liked making things complicated for learners. ;-)

Although I rather like Tdol's answer, I suspect it isn't accurate. :wink:

There does seem to be something of a pattern. If the name of the country ends in a it tends to get an n ending: America--American, Australia--Australian, Austria--Austrian, India--Indian, Jamaica--Jamaican, Saudi Arabia--Saudi Arabian. On the other hand, there's China.

Here are a few nationalities ending in ese: Chinese, Japanese, Burmese, Nepalese, Portuguese, Senegalese.

(Say: "so they can be more easily remembered")
