Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 123. The noun phrase today is
-
heart-to-heart. Okay. Let's continue here. As a noun a heart-to-heart refers to a
-
very private and personal conversation between two people, especially expressing
-
their personal feelings. Yeah. We don't usually say that a heart ... you know, we
-
don't have like a heart-to-heart with three or four or five people. Then... No
-
that sounds strange. It's mostly just two people and you can just stop at
-
heart-to-heart. Like you could say they, they had a heart-to-heart. But when we do
-
say that it is implied that you had a heart-to-heart you know connected to
-
like what we sometimes uses the adjective phrase. Meaning like either a
-
heart-to-heart talk or a heart-to-heart conversation or something like that. All
-
right. Let's continue. Heart-to-heart can also be an adjective
-
phrase, but it is mostly used with nouns. Nouns that have something to do with
-
talking. So you can words, such as nouns as talk. So you can have a heart-to-heart talk.
-
A heart-to-heart conversation . A heart-to-heart discussion. . A
-
heart-to-heart communication etc. As an adjective it means one is very frank,
-
sincere , you know Frank meaning like honest and direct. Sincere, serious or
-
personal. Okay. Let's continue. It seems obvious that we say this phrase. Okay
-
because one is communicating one's personal feelings in hopes of touching
-
the other person's heart and vice versa. And we just we have three examples here
-
to show this. Example number one. You need to stop those bitter feelings. The two of
-
you need to sit down and have a long heart-to-heart. So here's where we really
-
just used it as a noun. We don't .. we don't need to say the word talk or
-
communication or discussion. We know that somebody could just have a
-
heart-to-heart. So somebody maybe these two people have
-
been arguing for a while. This is the third person that probably knows both of
-
them who says you just got to get together and have a heart-to-heart
-
now get these bad feelings out. Something like that. Let's look at number two here.
-
Bill and Jane had a heart-to-heart talk last night and decided to try to work it
-
out rather than break up. So this is probably a romantic couple. Yeah. We might
-
hear it in this sort of situation. It can be very common. Okay. And number three here.
-
She has not been on speaking terms with her daughter for a long time. So if
-
they're not speaking terms. They are not communicating for a long time not , not
-
writing letters. Not calling nothing. However, they recently got together and
-
had a heart-to-heart discussion and now things are getting better. Okay. Good.
-
So this is exactly how we use it. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. I hope it was
-
informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
