Hey there! It’s Michael here, and welcome back to Phrasal Verbs in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Friday with a quick one-point lesson to help you learn a new phrasal verb and sound more natural when you speak.
By the way, if you want to see the video version of this English lesson podcast, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.
Today’s phrasal verb is weigh in on. When you weigh in on something, it means you offer your opinion in a discussion — especially when people want your thoughts or input.
- Like in the office, the boss weighed in on Jack’s new marketing idea.
- And yesterday, my friend Justin weighed in on which laptop I should buy.
- And whenever I post a lesson like this online, you guys weigh in with awesome comments!
And here’s a pronunciation tip: The A sound of weigh links with in, and the N of in links with on. Altogether, it sounds like way-yih-non. Way-yih-non: very smooth and connected.
So how about you? What’s something you weighed in on recently – maybe a decision at work, a family plan, or even a friend’s problem?
Let me know in the comments, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week’s Phrasal Verbs in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening. And until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
