Hey everybody, welcome back to let’s talk this is me, Meera. Today we’re going to
talk about certain things which are ‘real’, why did I choose this word? Because I have
observed that a lot of people struggle using the correct word or even phrase or even slang
language for that matter when it comes to real things. Let me ask you guys, think about
it when I ask this question, what all things can be real? So whenever you think of using
the word real what all do you connect it with? Did you think about it? Okay I’ll tell you
what, we think about real as objects could be real, right? Places could be real, documents
could be real, feelings could be real, right? General vibes or atmosphere could be real,
obviously documents are also real, right? But all these words right here actually are
just different words used to describe the word ‘real’. Like I said the correct word
for the correct situation especially when we want to identify something as ‘the real
thing’, okay?
So let us begin the class with the first word as ‘de facto’. Now de facto means things
which are in effect at this point of time are currently are working and that is what
you mean when you say de facto. So de facto means in practice okay, or in effect okay?
So what more all things can be de facto? Well your training schedules can be de facto in
practice, in effect. Your umm probably computer languages or the coding that you’re doing
for your offices could be de facto and in working and which is currently in process
right now, which is being used right now, which is in effect. Laws can be de facto as
well which are in effect, which are in practice, okay? Would you remember this? De facto for
things and situations which are in effect or in practice.
Alright moving from de facto to ‘tangible’. Tangible usually comes down to things which
are which you can touch and feel, okay? So I’m gonna write here touchable. You would
find that a lot of companies these days special, specifically the ones which sell items or
objects, usually have their sales or marketing system or plans in more tangible ways. So
often you can go to a supermarket and you would find customer service people or the
workers from those, those companies coming to you and saying that, ma’am would you
like to have a bite of our new dip or salsa dip or would you like to taste few of our
chips? They are basically getting you through a tangible experience a touchable experience
so that it’s not just an advertisement that just showcases on your YouTube channel or
on your TV sets but the ones which you can taste, eat, touch, feel and then believe in
it has a real thing and that experience is called tangible experience, alright? Tangible
is touchable.
From here we’re going to move on to ‘unquestionable’. Well the reason why I this on board is because
these things when it comes to unquestionable anything which is so real that you don’t
even need to question is which is undoubted. Unquestionable which is without a doubt, right?
No doubt. So, so well if you ask me about maybe we’re playing truth or dare and I
have to talk about truth, all right? And you asked me a question and I for which I give
you the answer that yes I do have a twin sister and you don’t know me yet. You would say,
hey don’t that’s not true that’s not real you’re lying I said I would say no
doubt or I can say unquestionable it’s the truth I do have a twin, right? That’s just
an example of how you can use unquestionable or are you coming to office tomorrow without
doubt or unquestionable I am which is again in reality, in fact which is the truth, okay?
Moving on from unquestionable we have ‘palpable’. Well guys you might have heard of this word
quite a lot of times where palpable is usually connected with vibes and feelings which people
can literally feel or sense. Do you, have you ever come across a situation where you
can literally feel someone’s anger in the room? Or have you come across a situation
where you feel someone’s chemistry glooming or blowing in a room? Feelings which actually
you experience, right? Those are palpable, palpable and real. So when we talk about palpable
we usually talk about feelings, okay existing, existing feelings or vibes, right? Okay so
let me just put this, alright? Vibes or feelings which are so real that you can feel, okay?
So you can always say that the energy in the room is palpable, which means you guys are
so energetic that I become energetic because of you all. Now that’s the kind of atmosphere
and vibe certain classrooms or meetings or offices have. Or the love in this room is
palpable that means someone is in love and um it’s so strong that you too can feel
it or sense it that is palpable.
Moving on from there we have ‘concrete’. Concrete simply means things which are existing
solid, right? And that is why it’s that real when things are so concrete sometimes
your decisions are concrete, right? You have solid decisions are you sure you want to change
your career path from being an engineer to a stand-up comedian? I’m absolutely concrete
about it. I’m sure about it and it’s that is why it is real, okay? Now that is also
concrete probably your relationship could be concrete as well which is existing which
is real, all right?
Moving on from concrete we have ‘genuine’, which means there is no other copy of it,
there is no, nobody can copy it or there is no copy or documentation off the same thing,
it could be just an object, it could be a painting, it could be someone’s personality
or characteristics even, right? So genuine means something which has no other copy of
it. True, no copy, right? Which is absolutely true, the one and only without another copy.
You might have heard this genuine leather, right? That means it’s true it’s the real
rather it’s real leather, okay? Genuine truth, genuine human being, right?
From moving from genuine we have ‘authentic’. Now what does authentic mean? Authentic means
anything that is reasonable, right? So something that you can say that hey my earrings are
authentic or the gold that the jewelry that I’m wearing is authentic, right? Something
that is reasonable, okay? Now here you can use it with so many things again, like I said
someone’s personality could have been authentic, someone’s jewelry too can be authentic,
which is quite reasonable and real at the same time.
Okay moving on from authentic, we have right here ‘certain’ okay now certain again
means I’m absolutely sure about it, okay? Sure about certain things and that is why
it becomes real there are you sure that you want to go to Mount Everest? I’m most definitely
certain about it and I will go for it and that is what certain means and that is why
it also connects with, connects with real okay? Certain is real.
Now moving from certain we have ‘valid’ right there. Now valid basically means something
that you can prove that it’s again it also relates with existing, right? So valid is
something that you can prove, okay? Although valid can be used for we you might have heard
medicines and the validity of medicines that means for how long it can be used for right?
And it can actually mean that it is fine to use it for so many days after one year the
validity of the product is actually over, right? So you that is where you use the validity
after which you must throw the medicine or take another one with existing validity, okay?
Moving from validity we have ‘legitimate’. Legitimate is something that you can reason
with logic or even legal rules, okay? Logic all or legal rules. Information is legitimate
that means it is definitely based on logic, correct logic and legally it is correct, okay?
That is legitimate and that is also connecting with real information. Legitimate information,
real information okay?
Now I actually have few slang words for you and you probably might know these so this
is the ‘real deal’. You might have heard usually probably in American TV serials or
some movies that hey don’t worry about this you can borrow this car this is the real deal.
They’re basically trying to tell you that we are not trying to fake it, we aren’t
trying to scam you, this is the real deal you can go for it and you can seal the deal,
okay? Not fake, okay? Something that you can put your faith in and go for it or buy it,
okay?
Moving from real deal we have the last word slang term most mostly it’s ‘get real’.
Now there are some times you probably face situations with your friends or family where
someone’s too emotional or not so practical about certain situations. Well you might find
yourself saying this to that person, hey get real, you are not being real right now, you’re
being completely unreasonable and you need to get real. Which means get out of your depression
zone or get out of your imaginary zone and get into real business not imaginary which
is again face facts. Face facts and face reality is simply what it means to get real, all right?
But make sure that you do not use these slang terminologies anywhere in your professional
life make sure that it is reserved for only those who are your close ones your near and
dear ones who would take you not would not take offense of it, okay?
Well this is all for today. I want you to, I want to make sure that you guys use these
terms especially when you want to talk about things which are real, feelings which are
real, documents which are real or advices or statements which are real. Well with so
many words in your pocket today, I’m sure I have made you at least two words richer
than what you were five minutes ago. Well I will see you soon with another interesting
topic until then make sure that you’re practicing, make sure that you’re smiling, spread a
lot of love, this is me Meera signing off for the day guys, bye.
