Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 172. The verb phrase today is jot
down. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone jots something down, he
or she writes something down quickly or hastily like, like in a rush. Usually
something that is very short. It could also mean to take a quick note about
something. To just jot something down about it. All right. Let's continue. The
origin of "jot" is believed to come from Greek , in reference to being a small
quantity. A jot was referred to as the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet
and corresponding to the Roman" I" like this small lowercase "I" This is also
believed to come from Jod or Jodr . I don't know a Hebrew word from the Hebrew
language. This is the idea of how it formed to mean a brief or short note. Okay.

to get someone's phone number. So let me jot it down quickly. Let me jot down your
phone number, so I can get in touch with you.? All right. Good or number two here . I
jotted down a few important notes from the meeting. Okay. Good. Perfect, number
three. I jotted down some ideas about what I may write a paper on. Yeah. Maybe
the idea was in your head to say I had better put this on paper before I forget
about it. So you jotted down some notes. Probably to remind yourself. All right. Good.

Bye-bye.
