CNN: Ellen DeGeneres says she was ‘kicked out of show business.’ Is it time to welcome her back?
Ellen DeGeneres says she was ‘kicked out of show business.’ Is it time to welcome her back?
Dear all, I was wondering whether "take seriously" (as the dictionary says) means the same as "take serious". E.g. a) I take my job seriously. b) I take my job (more) serious. Thanks a lot for your help!
Hello. Here I bring you a new issue. After posting a question in a forum (asking for or against in relation to a certain matter), some people answered me the words "like seriously" (without any exclamation nor question mark), which I didn't know how to interpret (it may be some form of slang)...
In Do you seriously mean that?, seriously is, indeed, an adverb of manner, but in my father is seriously ill, it is a synonym of extremely and very, and so an adverb of degree.
I mean, seriously? I spend hours cleaning the whole house and then she wants to know why I haven't cleaned the table. (the implication being that the thing left to do is so small, it pales into insignificance compared to what has been accomplished). Me preguntó por qué no había limpiado la mesa. Quiero decir, ?en serio?
Greetings, What does " Don't take yourself seriously" mean? Does it mean that : you shouldn't think you and your work and whatever you do are so important. Don't solemnify yourself. or Take it easy, problems will pass and go away. Things are hard and don't make it harder for yourself.
