There's nothing wrong with saying no thank you. If you say it with a polite tone, no one is going to fault you. Remember it's not always what you say but how you say it- learning mannerism is just as important as learning the language itself. And honestly, every English speaking culture is different so perhaps you should highlight that. I'm British and I prefer people being more specific than answering with ambiguous answers- you're good you want it or you're good because you don't? Could go either way.

其實"Am I making this clear?"、"Did I make myself clear?"本身語境上也是不適用大眾的。雖然句子本身相對婉轉,但比較像是上對下、長對幼、權威者或是不客氣時所用的句子,也就是「這樣你聽清楚了嗎?」(你最好給我聽清楚了)的語氣。

No one would ever say his goldfish (or any animal) "passed away" in any country I know. That expression is largely for persons only. Similarly, if you say "I lost my goldfish/dog", most people would actually think your pet is missing (unlike, say, "I lost my husband" meaning that he died). "Am I making this clear?" or "Did I make myself clear?" could also be interpreted as rude, depending on the context (suggesting you are annoyed that the other person is not paying sufficient attention).

@@user-zq5tv9dc7z 不知您的朋友介意否? “cheap” 這個詞,和steal相仿,會使對方覺得您至少是文學造詣夠 “low”,甚至覺得他自己也受到冒犯 。 與其企圖直接用它(們)的褒義,不如用其褒義方面的同義詞(組): 首選:inexpensive、competitive,(最好用) 次選:low-price、low-priced、cost(ting) (very) little、damage less on your pocket/wallet。(夠平實) 再次選:a. affordable (有點暗諷別人消費能力不高的嫌疑,慎用) b. reasonable 祇可用於讚對方物價,不可自贊((自贊時,有暗諷對方國家(地方)物價高得不靠譜之嫌) c. economic/economical,(口語慎用)。 以上僅爲本人看法,未知然否?
其实很多词外国人都常用,不是不礼貌,而是用法不一样。1,dead,表示机器坏了,比如my phone is dead。2,wait,是等等,不对,在考虑或者否定自己,比如wait,sorry, I actually like that one. 3,I know,是表示同情,理解,失望,比如A:do you still have this bag in store? B: sorry we sold out this. It’s very popular so…… A: yeah, I know. 4. No thank you. 只要口气不要很不客气,都没什么,也是日常听到的用语,当然I am good. & That’s all I need.也很常用。
最近都要用我的破英文加上客戶的翻譯網頁跟他們RD討論問題, 剛好碰上對方使用 on the same page回覆我 "One last thing I want to emphasis - just to make sure we are all on the same page as it is very important" 讓我思考了很久..., 加上你的講解, 映像更深刻了, 感謝@@~
日常口語和禮貌用語使用時機略有不同,試想如果上司揪你吃飯,不論英文 No, thank you或中文「不了,謝謝」都透露出想離職的感覺吧。在母語裡,當我們遇到需要禮貌的求生語境時,生命自然會找到出路,Lily是讓我們多得到英文禮貌用語的資料庫,就像貝爺告訴我們也為求生可以吃蟲,但日常生活中我們很少主動吃蟲。
I really like this kind of videos that show right way or better way to express. I thought many of not courteous short sentences is right before I watched the video. Please make more the sort of video.
Wait minutes, we don't say thin or skinny(瘦皮猴) to a person, actually skinny is kinda insulting, "slim" (苗條) is appropriate. There is nothing wrong if you say "No, thank you, I am fine" if combined a smile at the same time. Also " I am good" is a common mistake, means " 我是個好人", my English colleague taught me, to reply a greeting to someone such as "how are you", you can say "thank you, I am very well".

If they ask you a second time, just say no thank you. Doesn't mean you're rude they would in fact appreciate you being more specific. I think english depends on what country you're at as every culture is different. I've never heard saying no thank you is rude and I'm a born and bred british. If they think you're rude then it's purely because it's the way you say it. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Lily 你好! 請問 ”Did I make myself clear.” 和 “Do I make myself clear.” 在語意上有差別嗎?
如果想回應對方他的行為“無妨,沒關係” 該說It doesn’t matter 或 Never mind 再接Leave it to me. 比較有禮貌?

You could, however, "Did you get?" Is often used to asked if someone has gotten the item/thing. So let's say you asked friend to get something for you from the store, you may ask him "did you get it?" when he comes back. Which phrase and how to use it is depended on the situation. Generally, "am I making sense?" wouldn't be used unless you, yourself, are also unsure. For example, I am trying to understand a concept and I am not 100% sure my thought process makes sense. I may explain my thoughts to someone else and ask "am I making sense?" Essentially I am asking that person if my thoughts make sense. If you are trying to confirm whether others understand or not, you may say "does that/this make sense?"/ "Was that clear?" (If you aren't sure what you said was clear). You can say "do you understand?" as well. It just really depends on the tone. Like " DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Is different from "do you understand?" XD Hope that makes sense!

@@chinghuichen8486 It depends on the situation and what you are trying to say. For example: If someone asks you to do something, then "leave it to me" is more appropriate. If someone asks you if you want A or B (but you know your choice didn't really matter), you may reply with "It doesn't matter" or "it doesn't matter since the xxx will be making the decision" You may say "never mind" in situations where you repeatedly say the same thing but the other person have trouble hearing or understand. So in the end, you give up trying to explain and say "nevermind". I would say the best way to figure out/understand when and how to use each is to not trying to translate or associate fully with 中文 phrases. Instead, try to watch/listen more english to understand how it's used. :)
