3 Answers 3
Knowing can be roughly sub-divided as knowing how to and knowing that. If the question is about knowing how to, then the normal ‘rules’ apply when deciding on the appropriate tense.
Do you know how to make sushi? (present tense)
When you started school did you know how to tie your shoelaces? (past tense)
When knowing means knowing that, then the past tense is used for knowledge that existed in the past:
Did you know that she was married when you asked her to dance?
You can use the present tense for present knowledge:
Do you know that the meeting has been cancelled?
However, it is also very common to use the past tense idiomatically to refer to present knowledge. So there is no problem asking:
Did you know that the meeting has been cancelled?
Did you know that he’s Bob Dylan’s son?
Did you know that the iPhone 2G is a collector’s item?
Did You Know That Earth Is Getting Lighter Every Day?
«Did» is a past tense verb. Therefore, saying «did you know» asks if you have previously known something. «Do» is the present tense, so saying «do you know» would ask if you currently know.
I too am annoyed by people who use
would more accurately reflect an inquiry.
Therefore, I urge compatriots of the English language to use do you know whenever possible.
you are not asking me if I know now, but you are believing that I now know but that my knowledge of a subject prior to a certain time is questionable.
By walking up to me or abruptly asking without prior discussion on the subject
tickles me as illogical use of language. Because (pls don’t fault me for beginning a sentence this way), you would have failed to specify a timeline before which you believe my knowledge on the subject is questionable.
IMO, the reasonable way to use did you know is with the following similar situation,
You: Yesterday, we discussed that the white-tailed deer is actually a collective subspecies of deer.
Me: OK.
You: Did you know that the white-tailed deer is actually a collective subspecies of deer?
50 Incredible «Did You Know» Facts That Will Astonish You
These are the incredible trivia questions you’ll want to ask all of your friends.
One of the best things about learning something new is being able to share that knowledge with others. And while some facts are weird and wonderful and others are totally useless, there’s a whole category of trivia that is just so incredible you can’t resist asking everyone you meet «Did you know this?!» From why grapes catch on fire in the microwave to how long it takes the average mammal to urinate, these are the facts that will fascinate you and your friends. And for more facts that might shock you, check out these 50 Science-Backed Health Facts That Will Blow Your Mind.
Back in 2011, a physicist at the University of Sydney went viral after he placed a grape in the microwave and filmed the fiery aftermath. And oddly enough, scientists couldn’t explain the phenomenon until quite recently. A March 2019 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that the fruity fireball occurs as a result of the loose electrons and ions that cluster to form plasma when grapes get hot. And here are more of the 100 Fascinating Facts You’ll Want to Share with Everyone You Know.
Each area code has 792 possible prefixes or NXX codes (for example, NXX-XXXX or 555-1234), explains the Public Utility Commission of Texas. And each «NXX» has 10,000 possible phone numbers attached to it. So, with a little math, we know that theoretically, there are 7,920,000 possible seven-digit phone numbers in each area code. Obviously, not all of these numbers are put into use, so you don’t have to try nearly 8 million numbers if you want to randomly dial a friend who lives nearby.
Although it might sound a little strange, the word for an individual piece of spaghetti is spaghetto. The same goes for a single piece of confetti, which is confetto, as well as a single piece of graffiti, which is graffito, according to Merriam-Webster.
McDonald’s is always introducing new items for their loyal customers. And obviously, some are more successful than others. But their bubblegum-flavored broccoli, which the fast-food chain developed in 2014 as a tastier version of the leafy green for children, was a complete failure. McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson admitted that kids were confused by the taste.
No one will blame you if you’ve never bothered to time yourself on the toilet. But you may be interested to know that researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology found that most mammals weighing more than six pounds take 21 seconds to pee. According to Live Science, this oddly consistent time is due to the fact that the urethra is «appropriately scaled» to be a «flow-enhancing device.» And apparently, the perfectly enhanced flow takes 21 seconds to complete.
Along with having laws against spitting and urinating anywhere but in a toilet (which you’re then legally obligated to flush if it’s a public washroom), Singapore has also banned chewing gum in an effort to keep the city clean and orderly. The ban was established in 1992. In 2004, exceptions were made for therapeutic, dental, or nicotine gums. And for more trivia tidbits, check out 55 Facts So Interesting You’ll Kick Yourself for Not Knowing Them.
Whether you’ve been inspired by Marie Kondo or not, you probably still have close to a third of a million items in your home. One report found that the average U.S. house has around 300,000 things in it. Yeah, we like stuff. Lots of stuff.
Back in 1939, American author Ernest Vincent Wright published Gadsby, a 50,000-word novel that doesn’t use the letter ‘e’ once. What’s more, it’s not the only novel that ditched the letter. Author Georges Perec also wrote the French-language book La Disparition without the letter ‘e’ in 1969. That’s even more astounding when you consider that ‘e’ is the most commonly used letter in the English (and French!) language. And these are the 23 Words You Need to Stop Mispronouncing.
Most of us are well aware that lobster shells change color when exposed to heat (like in a pot of boiling water, for example). But the sea creatures’ blood is also intriguing. Lobster blood is initially clear and turns blue when it hits oxygen.
Unfortunately, this is one of the facts you probably can’t repeat to your friends—and that’s because it’s nearly impossible to pronounce. Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu is in New Zealand and is 85 letters long. And when it comes to other super long place names, it’s followed by Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales, Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in the U.S., Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein in South Africa, and Azpilicuetagaraycosaroyarenberecolarre in Spain.

More than 300 million years ago, the Meganeura established itself as the largest known flying insect to ever exist on Earth. The dragonfly-like creature had a wingspan that stretched around 2.5 feet. The bugs were also big enough to hunt prey like frogs and newts, which it could eat with its teeth-like mandibles.
If you can’t wait to pop every air-filled pocket the minute you pull a piece of bubble wrap out of a package, can you imagine how irresistible it would be if it were covering your walls? Engineer Al Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes probably didn’t consider that when, in 1957, they invented bubble wrap while trying to create a textured wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together to trap air bubbles.
Shakespeare wrote some of the most beloved and revered pieces of literature the world has ever known, but in order to craft his plays and poems, he sometimes resorted to making up his own words. In fact, The Bard is said to have come up with more than 1,700 words including moonbeam, laughable, eyeball, bump, puking, champion, bedroom, excitement, and zany.
When Santa Claus makes his trip around the world on Christmas Eve, you can rest assured that he’s legally allowed to drive his sleigh—at least in the United States. In 1927, the jolly man in the red suit was given a pilot’s license from the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics William P. MacCracken.
According to the Library of Congress, «The old saint called at the Commerce Department in Washington» and when he arrived, his picture was taken as he was given his license, airway maps, «and the assurance that the lights would be burning on the airways on Christmas Eve.»
When Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein passed away on April 18, 1955, he left behind specific instructions when it came to the disposal of his body, according to one National Geographic investigation. Einstein didn’t want his corpse to be worshiped or his brain to be studied, so he instructed those who were responsible for his remains to «cremate them, and scatter the ashes secretly in order to discourage idolaters.»
However, Thomas Harvey, the pathologist on call when Einstein died at New Jersey’s Princeton Hospital, didn’t quite follow those instructions. Instead, he stole Einstein’s brain. From there, things got even weirder. When Einstein’s family found out, his son apparently didn’t object to the theft and Harvey was able to keep the brain in two jars in his basement before moving it to «a cider box stashed under a beer cooler.»
In 2013, Joao Maria de Souza was lying in bed when a cow that had been grazing on a hill behind his house walked onto the asbestos roof and fell through, landing on de Souza, according to the BBC. The injured man was taken to a hospital where he later passed away. As strange as this incident might seem, locals claim that it was the third time a similar thing had happened in the area in the past three years, although no one was killed the first two times.
Cornell University researchers carved the tiny musical instrument out of crystalline silicon and claim that it’s the world’s smallest «nanoguitar» at 10 micrometers long. The guitar’s six strings are each about 50 nanometers (100 atoms) wide. And while it was «made for fun to illustrate the technology,» it also demonstrates how this tech could be used in fiber optics, displays, sensors, and electronics.
Frank Duryea reached a top speed of 7 mph when he raced the second car he had ever built with his brother, Charles, on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1895. The Chicago-Times Herald sponsored race featured a 54-mile course that ran from downtown Chicago to Evanston and back.
For reference, that’s about 19 football fields. The U.S. Antarctic Program also notes that if the ice sheet ever suddenly melted, it would raise the sea level worldwide an estimated 200 feet and submerge much of the Gulf and Atlantic coastal areas of the U.S.
It’s pretty common to be afraid of heights and scared of spiders, but if you have arachibutyrophobia, you’re among the smaller group of people that suffer from a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouths. This phobia is often connected to a fear of choking or a fear of sticky textures, but it can also be its own isolated fear. ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
The game, which took place between LSU and Auburn University, took place in front of a crowd of 79,431 fans at LSU’s Tiger Stadium. The crowd’s reaction to the game’s final pass registered as an earthquake by a seismograph located around 1,000 feet from the stadium. A seismologist noticed the reading the next day and the game went down in LSU history as the «Earthquake Game.»
Garry Turner from the U.K. holds the Guinness World Record for the stretchiest skin thanks to the fact that he can extend the skin on his stomach 15.8 centimeters. Turner is capable of such an elastic-like feat thanks to a collagen-defective condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil recently confirmed that she also has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, even demonstrating the stretchiness of her skin on social media.
If you’re not able to travel all the way to Egypt to see the great pyramids in Giza, then you might want to plan a trip to Memphis, Tennessee, to see the local Bass Pro Shops Megastore. At 321 feet tall, with a 535,000-square-foot interior, it’s one of the largest pyramids in the world and features a hotel, an indoor swamp, an aquarium, a bowling alley, and the world’s tallest freestanding elevator, which can take you to an observation deck.
Fictional Marvel characters aren’t the only beings with superhero-like powers. A few lucky mice were given the ability to see perfectly in the dark when scientists utilized nanoparticles that convert infrared light to visible light. The same method could be used to give humans the same night-vision superpower sometime in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see.
There are plenty of extreme sports out there if you happen to be an adrenaline junkie. From the classics like skydiving and surfing to newcomers like parkour and blobbing (A.K.A. human catapulting), there’s truly something for everyone. But if you want to combine your love of cleaning with your love of getting wild, then perhaps you’d like to try extreme ironing, which was founded in 1997 and has been challenging competitors to press shirts in unexpected locations—like high up in trees, hanging over cliffs, or paddling white-water rapids—for more than two decades.
Other than the fact that it hit an iceberg and sank, a lot went wrong during the Titanic tragedy. But one of the most jaw-dropping facts about the incident is that, according to passenger Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, who later recalled what had happened during his testimony at congressional hearings in Washington, a routine lifeboat drill was supposed to take place the morning of the disaster, but the crew never assembled and the drill was canceled. And for more on this disaster, check out the 13 Surprising Artifacts Found in the Titanic Wreckage.
It’s not quite true that there’s a Starbucks on every single corner in every major city. But there does happen to be a Starbucks cup in every scene in the 1999 movie Fight Club starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. The cup’s appearance was reportedly inspired by a line in the film, when Norton’s character explains, «When deep space exploration ramps up, it’ll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.» You can view all of the cups on this comprehensive Tumblr page.
In October 2018, the Gilbert Minnesota Police Department issued a public notice about birds that appeared to be «under the influence.» It turns out that the airborne animals were apparently eating berries that had fermented due to early frost, which was making them «tipsy.» Unfortunately, this meant that the buzzed birds were acting confused and flying into windows. Hopefully, they were able to sleep it off.
It’s no secret that the Statue of Liberty is a mighty monument. The copper section alone is 151 feet and one inch tall. But if Lady Liberty needed a new pair of sandals, it would take size 879 shoes to cover her massive feet.
Guinea pigs are social animals that prefer the companionship of another guinea pig. That’s why it’s illegal to own just one of the little critters in Switzerland. Thankfully, if one of your fuzzy pets passes away and you’re not ready to commit to another, Switzerland also allows you to rent a guinea pig for your remaining pet.
In 2010, the FIFA World Cup South Africa was shown in every country and territory on Earth, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, which meant that a record-breaking 3.2 billion people around the world watched the game in their homes, or 46.4 percent of the global population. Four years later, FIFA World Cup Brazil drew the same staggering number of viewers.
«The Highest Court in the Land» is the name given to the basketball court that’s located in the U.S. Supreme Court building. Located on the top floor (and therefore higher than any other court in the building, which is how it got its name), the former storage room was turned into an exercise area for courthouse workers in the 1940s before nets were eventually installed.
Not every celestial object has a shape that’s as perfectly majestic as planet Earth. In fact, some of them are downright hilarious to look at. Take Haumea, for example. This dwarf planet is cool for a number of reasons. About the same size as Pluto, Haumea orbits the sun beyond Neptune and has rings similar to Jupiter. But what makes this object even more interesting is that it’s shaped like a potato.
There are also 119 ridges (which are called reeded edges) on the side of a quarter, 150 on the side of a half dollar, 198 on a dollar coin, and 133 on a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin.
Wombats produce around 80 to 100 pieces of excrement each night and until recently no one knew why it was cube-shaped. But in 2018, researchers concluded that it’s the wombat’s intestines, which are made up of some «stretchy» and some «stiff» sections, that create «the edges and the cubing» during the digestive process.
Beat Wampfler, a Swiss cheesemaker, plays songs from bands like Led Zeppelin and A Tribe Called Quest during his cheese-producing process and, with the help of students from the University of the Arts in Bern, he’s studying to see if and how music can change the flavor of his Emmental cheese. Wampfler told AFP, «I am convinced that humidity, temperature, or nutrients are not the only things that influence taste… Sounds, ultrasounds, or music can also have physical effects.»
Just one drink can quickly go to your head, whether you feel it or not. Researchers at Heidelberg University Hospital found that just six minutes after consuming alcohol, changes are already taking place in the brain. So even if you don’t feel tipsy right away, you’re definitely not totally sober either.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production team also made 40 versions of Salazar Slytherin’s locket, 250 paintings for the Marble Staircase, 900 Memory Vials for the cabinet in Dumbledore’s Office, and 210,000 coins for the Gringotts bank scene in the last two films alone. And for more on the wizard phenomenon, check out the 35 Ways Harry Potter Is Still Crazy Relevant.
Every vehicle needs maintenance to stay in tip-top shape, especially if it’s expected to transport a country’s leader around the world. So when Air Force One’s SAM 28000 Boeing 747-200B plane is getting a tune-up, there’s an identical SAM 29000 standing by. One plane is always ready for the president’s use whenever needed.
With nine letters and eight of them being consonants, «strengths» is the longest word in the English language with only one vowel, according to the Guinness World Records. Which, on reflection, makes it a really weird looking word.
If shark attacks give you the chills, you’re not alone. And the people over at Google can sympathize thanks to the fact that they deal with shark attacks that threaten the internet. And this isn’t a new problem. Back in 1987, The New York Times reported that is was an issue with phone lines at the time due to the fact that «sharks have shown an inexplicable taste for the new fiber-optic cables that are being strung along the ocean floor linking the United States, Europe, and Japan.»
What state do you live in? Does it have a «q» in the name? We can guarantee that it doesn’t because that’s the only letter that doesn’t appear in any U.S. state name, from Alabama to Wyoming and everything in between.
If you’ve ever considered getting your entire body tattooed, be sure not to forget about your eyeballs. Hardcore body-art fans have started inking their eyes all kinds of colors, from purple to green. But beware of the risks that come along with such an extreme modification.
Jimmy Carter won three Grammy Awards in the Best Spoken Word Album category for Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis in 2007, A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety in 2016, and finally Faith: A Journey For All in 2019.
In 2004, Bill Clinton won Best Spoken Word Album for My Life, just a year after he earned the Best Spoken Word Album for Children thanks to Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf/Beintus: Wolf Tracks.
Barack Obama has won two Grammys, including Best Spoken Word Album in 2006 for the Dreams from My Father audiobook and another in 2008 when he took home the Best Spoken Word Album Grammy for the audiobook version of The Audacity of Hope.
The Sulabh International Museum Of Toilets in New Delhi, India, features a rare collection of objects «detailing the historic evolution of toilets» from 2500 BCE to right up until today. Learn about the toilet systems of ancient societies, the elaborately decorated toilets of 18th- and 19th-century Europe, and even a toilet from Austria that’s shaped like a lion so that you can feel like you’re riding the wild beast while doing your business.
You might think that throwing a little bread to the birds is a nice thing to do, but in San Francisco, it could get you into trouble. That’s because it’s illegal to feed pigeons in the streets or on the sidewalks of the California city. San Francisco’s Public Works Department explains that there «are dozens of reasons why» you shouldn’t feed our flying friends, «but mainly: feeding pigeons harms our neighborhoods and also harms the birds.» And for more crazy facts check out these 35 Fascinating Fast Facts for When You’re Bored.

This is Everyday Grammar. I’m Lucija.
Это «Грамматика на каждый день». Я Лусия.
And I’m Kaveh. Lucija, do you know the new guy down in marketing?
А я Каве. Лусия, ты знакома с новым парнем из отдела маркетинга?
YOU KNOW, not really, but I did meet him.
Знаешь, не совсем, но я встречалась с ним.
Oh, that’s great. Can you, YOU KNOW, maybe introduce me? I need help with a marketing presentation and I want to impress my boss, YOU KNOW.
О, здорово. А можешь познакомить меня с ним? Мне нужна помощь с маркетинговой презентацией, знаешь, я хочу произвести впечатление на своего босса.
Sure! But let’s talk about our lesson first!
Конечно! Но давай сначала поговорим о нашем уроке!
You know
The words YOU KNOW can have many meanings. They can be used in the literal sense of familiarity with something or someone.
Словосочетание you know может иметь много значений. Оно может использоваться в буквальном смысле знакомства с чем-то или кем-то.
But you can also use it in casual conversation. Experts call this use of YOU KNOW as «acknowledgement marker.»
Но вы также можете использовать его в обычном разговоре. Эксперты называют такое использование you know «маркером подтверждения».
It softens a statement, especially an opinion. Used this way, it can appear almost anywhere in a sentence.
Оно смягчает высказывание, особенно высказывание своего мнения. В этом случае оно может появиться практически в любом месте предложения.
YOU KNOW can also be used to suggest agreement or shared understanding.
You know также можно использовать, чтобы договориться [о чем-либо] или добиться взаимопонимания.
Other times, English speakers use YOU KNOW as a way to fill space in a conversation if they are unsure of how or what to say next.
В других случаях носители английского языка используют you know как способ заполнить паузу в разговоре, если они не уверены, как или что сказать дальше.
YOU KNOW, you shouldn’t use YOU KNOW too often. It can be a sign of, YOU KNOW, poor speech.
Знаешь, не следует использовать you know слишком часто. Это может быть признаком бедного словарного запаса для общения.
Or if someone is really, really nervous, YOU KNOW?
Или, если кто-то очень, очень нервничает.
Wait, why are you nervous?
Подожди, почему ты нервничаешь?
YOU KNOW, my presentation.
Ты же знаешь, моя презентация.
And that’s Everyday Grammar.
И это была «Грамматика на каждый день».
In the film «Caddyshack,» American actor Bill Murray plays a golf caddy. He carries golf clubs for other people and offers them advice on how to play the sport.
В фильме «Caddyshack» американский актер Билл Мюррей играет роль подручного при игре в гольф. Он носит клюшки для гольфа за игроками и дает им советы, как играть.
At one point in the film, Murray tells an outrageous story. He claims to have traveled to the Himalayas and helped the Dalai Lama play golf. After one game, Murray says he asked the Tibetan spiritual leader for money.
В одном из эпизодов фильма Мюррей рассказывает скандальную историю. Он утверждает, что ездил в Гималаи и помогал Далай-ламе играть в гольф. Мюррей говорит, что после одной из игр он попросил у тибетского духовного лидера денег.
Here are a few lines from the movie.
Вот несколько строк из фильма.
«So we finish 18 and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, ‘Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something? You know, for the effort, you know.’ And he says, ‘Oh, uh, there won’t be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.'»
«Итак, мы проходим 18 (последнюю) лунку, а он ничего не собирается мне платить. И я говорю: «Эй, Лама, постой, как насчет кое-чего? Ну, понимаешь, за мои старания». А он отвечает: «Нет, никаких денег не будет. Но когда ты умрешь, на своем смертном одре ты обретешь полное самосознание»».
Today, we will not explore the world of golf. Instead, we will consider the meaning of two words: you know. You heard them used twice in our example.
Сегодня мы не будем изучать мир гольфа. Вместо этого мы рассмотрим значение двух слов: you know. Вы слышали, что они дважды были использованы в нашем примере.
We will show you how and why Americans use this expression. You might be surprised to learn how «you know» has many uses.
Мы покажем вам, каким образом и по какой причине американцы используют это выражение. Возможно, вы будете удивлены, узнав, как много значений имеет «you know».
Acknowledgement markers
Маркеры подтверждения
If you listen to Americans as they speak, you will often hear them say «you know» in strange places in a sentence. You might hear it at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.
Если вы слушаете, как говорят американцы, вам часто будет встречаться выражение «you know» в неожиданных местах в предложении. Вы можете услышать его в начале, середине или в конце предложения.
When Americans say «you know,» they might mean it in a literal sense, as in the following:
Когда американцы говорят «you know», они могут иметь ввиду его буквальное значение, как в следующем примере:
«Do you know that person?»
«Ты знаешь этого человека?»
However, today we are talking about how English speakers use «you know» in other ways. These include social uses, such as saying «you know» to soften the meaning of a statement.
Однако сегодня мы говорим о том, как носители английского языка используют «you know» другим образом. Выражение «you know» используется при общении, чтобы смягчить значение высказывания.
Language experts have a term for such an expression: an «acknowledgement marker.»
У языковых экспертов есть термин для такого выражения: «маркер подтверждения».
You do not need to worry about the term now. Just remember that English speakers choose some words for social uses. They mean more than the individual words suggest.
Вам не следует сейчас глубоко задумываться о значении этого термина. Просто помните, что носители английского языка употребляют некоторые словосочетания в процессе общения. Смысл этих словосочетаний более широкий, чем смысл составляющих его слов в отдельности.
Do not fear: we will clarify these points by giving you examples from popular culture.
Не пугайтесь: мы проясним эти моменты на примерах из поп-культуры.
«You know» in social situations
«You know» в сфере общения
«You know» gives other people the idea that you have some kind of shared knowledge with them. People use it to show that they have a common understanding.
«You know» дает другим людям представление о том, что у вас есть какие-то общие знания с ними. Люди используют его, чтобы показать, что у них есть взаимопонимание.
Sometimes people use an acknowledgment marker because they want to know if you agree with them.
Иногда люди используют маркер подтверждения, потому что хотят знать, согласны ли вы с ними.
Other times, they use it as a way to fill spaces in a conversation or discussion. Saying «you know» gives the speaker time to think of what to say next.
В других случаях они используют его как способ заполнить паузы в разговоре или обсуждении. Высказывание «you know» дает собеседнику время подумать о том, что сказать дальше.
The context tells you which of these purposes «you know» serves.
Контекст подскажет вам, какой из этих целей служит «you know».
Example #1
Пример #1
Let’s study an example. Think back to the line from «Caddyshack»:
Давайте поупражняемся на примере. Вспомните строку из «Caddyshack»:
«And I say, ‘Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something? You know, for the effort, you know.'»
«И я говорю: «Эй, Лама, постой, как насчет кое-чего? Ну, понимаешь, за мои старания».»
Here, Murray is asking for a tip – a small payment. When Murray says «you know» before and after the words «for the effort,» he is suggesting that the Dalai Lama knows he has worked hard.
Murray uses «you know» to offer a suggestion. He does not want to ask for money directly. He wants to improve his chances of getting the tip by using indirect language.
Мюррей использует «you know» как намек. Он не хочет просить деньги напрямую. Он хочет повысить свои шансы на получение чаевых, используя косвенные выражения.
Murray’s caddy could have simply said, «Can you give me a tip for helping you?» Such a direct question would be considered disrespectful in American culture.
Помощник Мюррея мог бы просто спросить: «Можете ли вы дать мне чаевые за то, что я помогал вам?» В американской культуре такой прямой вопрос считается неуважительным.
Example #2
Пример #2
Let’s look at another example. Consider this exchange from the 1994 film, «Leon The Professional.»
Давайте взглянем на другой пример. Рассмотрим такой диалог из фильма 1994 года «Leon The Professional».
— «My parents died in a car accident four weeks ago. It was terrible.»
— «Мои родители погибли в автомобильной аварии четыре недели назад. Это было ужасно».
— «You know, we didn’t have the time to get to know one another when you first came here. But I want you to know that I’m not the kind of woman who’d let down a child, whatever her situation, whatever her mistake.»
— «Знаешь, у нас не было времени, чтобы познакомиться друг с другом, когда ты впервые пришла сюда. Но я хочу, чтобы ты знала, что я не из тех женщин, которые оставляют в беде ребенка (девочку), независимо от ее состояния. несмотря на ее ошибки.»
Here, the second speaker begins her sentence with «you know.» In this situation, she wants to gain the trust of the young girl.
Здесь вторая собеседница начинает свое предложение с «you know». В этой ситуации она хочет завоевать доверие молодой девушки.
She begins her sentence with «you know» so that it gives the girl the idea that they have a connection. She wants to give her new information, but she also wants to make her words sound familiar. She also wants to improve her chances of a positive response from the young girl.
Она начинает свое предложение с «you know», давая, тем самым, понять девушке, что между ними есть связь. Она хочет дать ей новую информацию, но она также хочет, чтобы ее слова звучали по-дружески. Она также хочет повысить свои шансы на положительный ответ от молодой девушки.
Example #3
Пример #3
Here is one final example. Imagine two people are staying late at work. One person might tell another person they need to go.
Вот последний пример. Представьте, что два человека задерживаются на работе. Один из них может сказать другому, что им нужно уходить.
Она может сказать:
«Hey, Jane, you know, the last train leaves in 15 minutes!»
«Знаешь, Джейн, последний поезд отправляется через 15 минут!»
Here the speaker is presenting information about the train, as if it is known information. Jane probably does not know that the train is leaving soon. But her coworker wants to soften the statement by using language that suggests she does know that the train is leaving.
Здесь один собеседник дает информацию о поезде таким образом, как будто она известна другому собеседнику. Джейн, вероятно, не знает, что поезд скоро уходит. Но ее коллега хочет смягчить высказывание, используя речевой оборот, в котором предполагается, что она знает, что поезд уходит.
History and «you know»
История и «you know»
The term «you know» is not a new form of slang. «You know» has a long history, according to John McWhorter, a language expert.
Выражение «you know» не является новой формой сленга. «You know» имеет долгую историю, по словам Джона МакВортера, эксперта по языку.
He says that English speakers have long used words and expressions such as «you know.»
Он утверждает, что носители английского языка уже давно используют слова и выражения подобные «you know».
McWhorter points to lines in Geoffrey Chaucer’s «Canterbury Tales» as an example. Chaucer wrote the now famous work in the 14th century.
В качестве примера МакВортер указывает на строки из «Кентерберийских рассказов» Джеффри Чосера. Чосер написал эту знаменитую в наше время книгу в 14 веке.
In the Knight’s Tale, the character Emily says the words «thou woost.»
В «Истории рыцаря» персонаж Эмили произносит слова «thou woost».
The word «thou» later became «you» as the English language changed over time. «Woost» is the verb that eventually became «know.» McWhorter notes that «thou woost» was the 14th century version of the modern-day «you know.»
What can you do?
Что вы можете делать?
The next time you are listening to an English speaker, try to find examples of «you know.» How often does the person use those words? Why do you think they are using them?
В следующий раз, когда вы слышите, как кто-то говорит по-английски, попробуйте найти примеры «you know». Как часто человек использует это словосочетание? Как вы думаете, почему оно используется?
You should be careful about using «you know.» Sometimes English learners become nervous and use «you know» too often. This overuse of «you know» means that they do not practice using other expressions or vocabulary.
Вам следует проявлять осторожность при использовании «you know». Иногда изучающие английский язык начинают нервничать и слишком часто употребляют «you know». Это чрезмерное использование «you know» означает, что они не практикуются в использовании других выражений или не расширяют словарный запас.
The point of today’s story was to show you how English speakers use certain words and expressions for social uses. There are many others – which we can explore in another Everyday Grammar program.
Смысл сегодняшнего сюжета состоял в том, чтобы показать вам, как носители английского языка используют определенные слова и выражения для социальных целей. Есть и много других, которые мы сможем изучить в другой программе «Грамматики на каждый день».
— «You know, I think we should end our report now.»
— «Знаешь, я думаю, что теперь мы должны закончить наш репортаж».
Should I use «did you know» or «do you know» to introduce a fact?
Now I know someone’s already asked «Which is correct? “Did you know?” or “Do you know?”», but the question was unclear. Mine could be more specific.
Should I use «did you know» or «do you know» to introduce a fact?
I’ve only seen «did you know» in action. My logical deduction is that before the «question» (which is not much of a question because you’re not asking for an answer), you wouldn’t have been sure whether the listener’d known about what you’re about to say or not. But by the time you say the «question» and introduce the fact(oid), you would know for sure they do. Why? Because you’ve just told them! It’s like when saying «Did you know strawberries aren’t berries, but bananas are?», I didn’t know if you’d already known about that factoid prior to my «question», but at the time I say it onward, I know you know it because I’ve just told you. Therefore, it’d be reasonable to use the past tense with «did». It’d be pretty much the same with «What if I told you. «
(And I just realized I made it pretty confusing by using a lot of «know’s»)
However, a public speaker (who I’m supposing doesn’t have a very good grasp of English because she thought a «kickass person» meant someone who encourages people to do things by kicking in their asses) told me that when you said «did you know», you implied that the listener’d already known what you were about to say, which is completely opposite to my reasoning. If I’d imply such a thing, I’d use «do you know», with a «duh» face or an annoyed tone: «Do you know/have any idea how many sleepless night I had to endure to make this and now you’ve just ruined it all?»
So which one should I choose to introduce a fact?
