Hi everybody, welcome back to Ask Alisha, the weekly series where you ask me

First question comes from Eugene Datskiy.

Eugene says: Hi Alisha, what's the difference between "almost" and "barely"?

In my native language, they have similar meanings.

Almost is an adverb (so is barely), but almost is an adverb which means "not quite" or "not

Each sentence here shows us something that very nearly happened.

It was very, very close to happening, however, it did not happen.

So, barely is also an adverb, but think of barely as "almost not."

Or like, "scarcely," or "hardly" something.

It can also mean, like "only just," or "nothing to spare."

I barely made it to the bus stop on time.

So, barely means like "almost no," or "scarcely," or "only just" able to do something.

Almost is for something that didn't happen, then.

It's very nearly something, or it came close to something, but not quite.

(Good) Uh, I wanna ask you about the word "spoilt."

Can you explain the different meanings it has in a couple sentences?

I believe perhaps in British English and Australian English.

In American English, we use "spoiled" with an "ed" ending instead of a "t" ending.

But anyway, this word has a couple different meanings.

So, first, when we talk about spoiling a person – to spoil a person, to spoil a pet – it

Like, if they want something, like candy, or sweets, or attention, or whatever it is

that they want to do, or they want something to consume, we give it to them.

Some examples: I spoiled my son with candy and presents.

Um, but the second one here that you mentioned, uh, "to spoil an experience" means to make

To cause the experience to become negative.

So, this is usually like a fun experience or a happy experience, and there's some new

information or some change in the situation which ruins – spoils – makes the experience

Examples of this: I hate to spoil your good mood, but you got

Sorry to spoil your party, but the police are here.

So, these meanings relate to the base meaning of "spoil," which is "to cause or to allow

So, to spoil a person means to allow that person to become bad, because you're giving

In the second meaning, it's that something outside – there's been some outside influence

on a situation that causes it to become bad or unpleasant.

Amr says: Hi Alisha, what is the meaning of "darn it to heck"?

Darn it to heck is a very mild curse word.

"Heck" is the mild version of the word "hell."

Darn is a mild version of the word "damn," which is a fairly light, I suppose, curse

Darn it to heck is like a mild substitute for a more severe, or I guess, a stronger

You might hear parents teach this expression to children.

An adult would use this if they are uncomfortable using swear words, or maybe they are near

children, where they do not want to use swear words.

Or there's just some other situation, like they're in a polite situation where it would

So, darn it to heck is a very mild, like, "ah, I made a mistake" expression we use in
