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.
