Hi this is Tutor Nick  P and this is Adjective Phrase 4.  The adjective phrase

様態の副詞

today is itty-bitty or itsy-bitsy. You know of course you would probably only

程度の副詞

use one of each one. But both of them have almost exactly the same meaning.

Both of them are also used in a way to mean something is you know,

to show that it's cute or small. We use a lot with children or we're trying to be

cute. Okay. So let's take a look at the note here. Itsy-bitsy or itty bitty both

mean very small or tiny. So if we say something is itsy-bitsy or itty bitty

means it's really really small it's really really tiny. Okay. Let's look at

some examples here. Example number one. He nearly ate the whole cake. He only left

me an itty-bitty piece. Yeah. For you really try to emphasize he left you

practically nothing. Just little tiny just an itty bitty piece

hardly anything. Okay. Number two just add an itty bitty amount of cinnamon. Yeah.

Sometimes when you're giving somebody you know directions for a recipe or

something like this that could be one of the steps in the recipe. You know just

add an itty-bitty amount of something.  All right.

Number three. There used to be an old song called Itsy-bitsy Teeny-weeny

Yellow Polka-dot Bikini. Yeah it was another one of those songs that was

meant to be very funny. How did it go ?  It went something like this. Yeah she wore

an itsy-bitsy,  teeny-weeny,  yellow polka-dot bikini. That she wore for the

first time today. Something like that.  Then it goes on and it's kind of a funny

song. That she was almost a little too embarrassed to go out because she was

revealing too much. So they made a joke out of it. It was very catchy,

cute,  cute song. All right. And let's look at number four.  There is a famous nursery

rhyme called Itsy Bitsy Spider. So again you can see. You know,  we might use it

like with children. Nursery Rhymes, you know,  something is really,

really tiny. This is a perfect way that we use it. Okay. Anyway,  I hope you got it.

I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
