Learn the English Phrases "You can't take it with you!" and "YOLO!"
<p>Read along to learn the English phrases YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU and YOLO!</p><p>In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English saying, "You can't take it with you." When you say you can't take it with you in English, it's a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die, it's a loud train, eh? Can you guys hear that? I'll just keep going.</p><p>It's a humorous way to talk about the fact that when you die you can't take your house, your car or your money with you. And so it's kind of suggesting that you should either, a) Spend all of it before you die, or what I think is a better idea, b, give away generously some of the money to causes that need it.</p><p>So you can do either, and the phrase can mean the same thing for both. You can't take it with you simply means, well, why are you saving all of your money for a later day when eventually you're going to die and you can't take that money with you to whatever lies beyond. The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is YOLO.</p><p>It's actually an acronym. I think I might have taught this one before, but YOLO is kind of like a young person's way of saying you only live once or just have a really good time because you're gonna die eventually. You only live once. YOLO.</p><p>You'll hear this sometimes when you watch TV or other shows. So to review, you can't take it with you. A humorous way to talk about money and things and material possessions. You can't take it with you, so you might as well enjoy them while you're here. And my suggestion would be is if you can afford it, donate to worthy causes.</p><p>And the second one is YOLO. Sorry if you're wondering what all the noise is, we now have a garbage truck going by. YOLO means you only live once, so enjoy life as much as you can. By the way, did you see the there's an actual barber pole here.</p><p>That's kind of that's kind of a Blast from the past, but hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Unsal. I was wondering how common are fences in residential areas in Canada? Is privacy that important for most homeowners, or are fences mostly used to mark property lines?</p><p>Just to mark property lines. Thanks for another great lesson. You're awesome. Have a great day. Bye. My response: Very common. It is usually the first thing a homeowner builds when buying a new house in a town or city. Th
