go under. Okay. Let's take a look at the notes here. We have three meanings today

and of course we'll have three definitions that go along with the three

meanings. All right. Let's look at the first one. If a business or organization

goes under, it no longer can continue to operate and stops existing. So this, this

is actually one of the most common ways that we use to go under. And here it

basically is another way to say that a company is going out of business or a

store is going out of business. You say, yeah. That store , that store went under.

Or they're going to, they're probably going to go under. Okay. So let's look at

the first example that goes along with that. That business was barely hanging on

for over a year and once the recession hit, they finally went under. They had to

declare bankruptcy. Yeah. That's a pretty common one. If there's a business that's kind

of barely surviving and a bad recession hits, they're the first businesses usually

to get knocked out. If , if a recession or from really bad recession hits. So. Okay.

Good. Let's look at the second example here or the second meaning. If a person

or object goes under, he or she sinks below the surface. Well this is probably

the original one. So this is where we even got the idea for the business. So if

you go under, it means you sink below something. All right. So let's look at the

second one here. The Titanic struck an iceberg and went under the sea. It wasn't

found until many decades later. Yeah. So we might say that somebody went below

Some ... somebody went under. The surface of the water. They started to

sink or maybe somebody could go under quicksand. You know that he go under that

too. If they go under something, they fall below the surface of something.

Okay. Good and number three here. This is probably the one that maybe students

know the least but it's still common like in a hospital. If someone goes under

he or she becomes unconscious due to an anesthetic. Yeah. So if that you're having

a serious operation and they're giving you the drug to knock you out , that's

referred to as an anesthetic. So we might often say that the patient went

under. All right. So let's look at number three here. They decided it was better if

I were unconscious for the operation. The nurse gave me an anesthetic and I

immediately went under. I didn't awaken until after the

operation was over. This is another way. So in a hospital when you after you've

got the drug or some sort of anesthetic, you could go under.So the patient falls

into an unconscious state. Okay. Anyway, I hope it's clear. I hope you got it. Thank

you for your time. Bye-bye.
