  • Hi. My name's Ronnie.

  • I'm going to teach you some words.

  • The inspiration came as a sign, literally.

  • I walked into the magical place of unicorns and magicians, where we record

  • these videos, and I saw a wizard holding a sign that said: "OVER", and I said:

  • "Oo, cool sign. It says 'OVER'."

  • Lesson, lesson, lesson, done. So, I'm going to teach you some expressions

  • that we use with "over".

  • Now, the cool thing about "over" is if you look at this side of the board,

  • all of these words are going to have one thing in common, and it is, of course, the word "over".

  • So, in English when you're learning new vocabulary and you see the word "over" plus another word,

  • it has a very, very important meaning. And this one means "too much" or "too many". So,

  • if you're learning new vocabulary, if you're reading something and you are not sure what

  • the word means, you're going to know "over", "over" means too much or too many of something.

  • So, let's check out what these words mean.

  • First of all: "overreact". This means you take something too far. Let's say that, for

  • example, I drop my marker. Instead of picking it up and going: "I dropped my marker",

  • I would freak out and go: "Oh my god! I dropped my marker! What am I going to do? Oh!"

  • This is overreacting or being overemotional.

  • You tell the person: "Hey, calm down. Do not overreact. You're reacting or being too emotional."

  • So, "overreact" means too many or too much action;

  • too many emotions are coming out. Chill down and relax.

  • "Overused". "Overused" means you use something too much.

  • So maybe you overuse your cellphone,

  • maybe you always use your cellphone, and one day your cellphone dies and goes "ppft", nope.

  • You've overused something because you've used it too much.

  • This is my daily life. Every day I wake up, have a shower, smell good,

  • and I listen to the radio.

  • Now, I like music a lot, but I have a big problem with the radio and the

  • problem is that they "overplay" or they have "overplayed" songs. This means they play one

  • song every day. Guess what? There are millions upon millions of songs out there. I do not

  • want to have to listen to the same song every day at the same time. Without fail, they will

  • overplay a song. Usually what happens is you hear the song, you're like:

  • "Enh, I don't mind it." You hear it again a couple times, you're like:

  • "Oh, I quite like this song."

  • And then the magic happens, they overplay it - "ppft", it's gone.

  • You can't stand the song because it's overplayed.

  • They play it all the time. You go shopping:

  • "Oh, there's that song again." Every place you go, you hear that song. The song is overplayed.

  • This is what happens at work. Do you work too much? If you work too much, you say:

  • "I am overworked." It means I work too much.

  • Uh-oh, sometimes maybe once in a while if you are lucky, you would get to go on vacation

  • -woo-hoo-

  • so you have your airplane ticket, you're on your flight, you get to the hotel and they say:

  • "Uh, we don't have a room for you."

  • "This is my reservation number, this is my name.

  • Why don't you have a room?" They will say:

  • -"We're overbooked."

  • -"Uh, you have too many books?" No.

  • "Overbooked" means they have too many reservations and not enough rooms, or

  • they don't have enough space. Overbooked can happen in a restaurant, it can happen with

  • reservations, in a movie theatre, no, or... Not a movie theatre. If you book a play or

  • something, they have not enough seats, too many people. Also an airplane, if you book

  • a ticket, it's overbooked, there's too many people. Not enough seats, too many humans.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • If you don't understand something, it's "over your head".

  • Maybe you go to school or maybe

  • you're talking to someone, and what they're saying to you does not make sense,

  • you can say: "It's over my head." You don't understand. No comprende. Don't understand.

  • Next: "overdrawn". Uh-oh. This is really, really, really bad because it has to do with

  • money. If your bank account is overdrawn, it means you've taken out too much money that

  • you don't have. If this happens to you, the bank will also charge you fees.

  • They're called "overdrawn fees" maybe. This is a bad situation.

  • Something else you can be is "overloaded". You can be overloaded with work, or you can

  • be overloaded with projects. Never overloaded with money. That's a problem.

  • This is a good thing. Maybe you're going to go to the store and they have a sale-oo-or

  • they advertise a sale of something being "overstocked".

  • So, "overstocked" means they have too much

  • or too many of one product. What the store will do is reduce the price, and get it out

  • of the store. Maybe it's expired, which means it's a little old. Nevertheless, overstocked

  • is a good thing for you, because you get a discount.

  • And last one: "overfriendly". Do you know a person who is overfriendly?

  • "Overfriendly" means they are too friendly. You just want to smack them,

  • because they're always super, super, super friendly to you, and maybe

  • you don't really like them or you just don't want

  • to be their friend, they're overfriendly; they're too friendly.

  • Now, one thing that's really important in English that you have to really, really, really,

  • really understand is that in English, if you have too much or too many, or just "too",

  • it's always a negative situation.

  • "Too" is never positive. You will never say:

  • "I have too much money."

  • Never, ever. Okay? So "too", "too much", "too many" is bad. "Over" is bad.

  • Let's go backwards. Dunh-dunh-dunh. What we're going to do is some expressions that use "over".

  • So, if something is "all over", it means it is finished. So the play's all over,

  • or your life is... No, your life is not all over.

  • You can "knock someone over",

  • so you might knock them over in a car-don't do that-or

  • you could hit the person-don't do that-and they fall down or they "fall over". Mm-hmm.

  • So "knock someone over" is the action that you hit them and they fall. "Fall over" is

  • the same as like collapse or fall down.

  • This we will use a lot in business, a company will "take over" another company.

  • This basically means that they will eat your company,

  • and you will lose your job. This is not a good

  • thing. The other thing... The other way we use "take over" is a person who is domineering

  • can take over something. So, maybe you're having a conversation with your friends, and

  • another person who's maybe a little overfriendly comes in, and starts talking louder and more

  • than the other people in the conversation. They're taking something over. This is never

  • a good thing. People can take over a country, people can take over your apartment, cockroaches

  • can take over your apartment, they can invade your apartment; take over.

  • If this happens, you have to "start all over".

  • You don't need to say "start all over", you can just say "start over". So,

  • "start all over" or "start over" means to begin again.

  • "Over and over" just means again and again. This expression, this slang:

  • "I'm so over it!"

  • means I've had enough, I'm done, I'm out of here.

  • I'm over it.
