#19 A Good Laugh: The Expert

▶️ The corporate world (=private companies) is so full of professional bullshit that it can make you feel quite lonely. This is certainly how ‘The Expert’ feels. Don't just laugh, pity him as well!

🎉Special Day: Afandi Pranksters

▶️ April Fools’ Day is our long-awaited chance! Instead of fooling subscribers, today Afandi English is giving you 7 easy pranks (=actions to fool people):

😂 Dirty clothes: Tell your friend there’s some dirt or bird poop on the back of their jacket or trousers. They’ll twist their body but there’s nothing!

😝 Phone prank: Call your friend from another phone and pretend to be someone else.

😜 What?: Pretend you’re not hearing your friend. Say “What?” until they get crazy and shout.

🤓 Sticky note: Place a sticky note with a message on someone’s back.

😅 Toothpaste biscuits: Fill biscuits with toothpaste and put them on the table. Wait till someone takes a bite!

😏 Toilet paper: Put toilet paper into someone’s shoes and they’ll wonder why their shoes are too small.

🤪 Soupy shower: Put soup powder into the showerhead. The one taking a shower will have a great experience.

#143 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar & Vocabulary

▶️ Please translate the following sentence:

Qimmat bo’lsa ham sotib olmoqchiman.


Perhaps you think it is:
Even it’s expensive I want to buy it.

Well, it should be:
Even if/though it’s expensive I want to buy it.

Why?

❗️ Even cannot stand on it’s own here. There is no difference in meaning between if and though that follows it but you have to use one of them.
