  • Hey friends, welcome back so how's it going? How's the weather out there? Hello, you must

  • be wondering, why did I just leave? So imagine you are having a conversation with someone

  • you can't just get up and walk off. Well there are phrases that you need to use to exit a

  • conversation and that's what we are gonna learn today.

  • Hey friends, you're with me Niharika, well there are plenty of situations

  • hat we come across that demand for different kinds

  • of exits, so when you have to leave a conversation, how do you tell the person that you have to

  • go? Well here are some English phrases that you can use when you have to really go, okay?

  • So the word exit when we talk about exit it means when you have to leave a place, when

  • you have to leave a situation. So these are some 8 phrases for you that you can use, the

  • very first one and the most common one isexcuse me”. Now yes when you are talking

  • to someone, you're having a discussion about something but you have to leave, probably

  • you have to go pee or you just want another drink for yourself, so you can just use the

  • word, “excuse me, please”, okay? You can add please as well to be polite. So you can

  • say, ‘excuse me’. Now there's no need to justify your phrase excuse me, it’s okay

  • well as I said probably you have to go use the washroom, you have to go pee. So you're

  • not gonna say okay, ‘I have to go pee, excuse me, please’. So there's no reason to justify

  • your excuse me, it's okay to just say excuse me and then leave the conversation but if

  • you have to say it then that's all right. Moving on to another phrase that you can use

  • is, “I'd better be going”. Now when you use this phrase, you can also follow it with

  • another phrase which is, okay so for example you are talking to someone or you bumped into

  • someone maybe in the elevator and you have a flight to catch and this person in the elevator

  • is talking about something really important but then you are getting really late or else

  • you will miss your flight. So how do you cut that conversation and how do you exit? So

  • this is the great phrase that you can use, especially when you're getting late or especially

  • when you have too many things to do. So you can say that, ‘I’d better be going’,

  • okay? So you can use this phrase and then leave, okay? Moving on to another phrase that

  • I have for you is, “I really have to go”. Now when do you use this phrase in a conversation?

  • When you want to be direct and say that, ‘yes, I have to leave right now’. So this is a

  • very direct and formal way of informing the person that you're chatting with that yes

  • you have to leave now. So probably you are having a discussion with your team members

  • at work and your boss has called you for a meeting and you have no time to complete this

  • discussion, so you can be very direct with your colleagues and say that, ‘Oh! I really

  • have to go.’ Okay so because your boss is waiting for you and your boss is an important

  • person, so yes you cannot continue the discussion right now, so you can be direct by saying

  • I really have to go and then leave the conversation, okay? Moving on to another phrase that I have

  • for you is, “I'm sorry, but I have to leave now.” Now when do you use this? Well firstly

  • you're being extremely polite by apologizing by saying that, ‘you know, I'm sorry but

  • I have to leave now’. You can use this when you realize that the person that you're chatting

  • with wants to continue having a discussion with you, wants to continue the conversation,

  • has no intentions to leave or to end the conversation but guess what you have no time or probably

  • you are really bored, yeah! You can't take it anymore and you just want to exit the conversation.

  • So if you feel that the person that you're having a chat with, well has intentions to

  • continue the conversation and you are not keen on it then please go ahead and use this

  • phrase. Be nice and polite by saying I'm sorry and then just mention that but I have to leave

  • now, all right? Moving on to the next one, “It was so nice seeing you, take care.”

  • Okay here you met someone, maybe an old friend of yours and probably you guys have not met

  • for a very, very long time and well it was a great coincidence that y’all met in this

  • party or maybe in a conference y'all bumped into each other and then to part ways okay,

  • so now if you have to say a nice goodbye and leave or exit then this is a great phrase

  • to use, ‘it was so nice seeing you’, so here you're showing that happiness that yes

  • it was so nice seeing you and then a very courteous remark by saying thattake care

  • so probably you will not be seeing this person for a while again, so you are saying take

  • care, all right? So when you meet someone, so when you meet someone after a long time

  • and probably you won't be seeing him or her for a while, it's a great expression to use.

  • Moving on to another one which is, “see you laterorsee you around”. So see

  • you later or see you around is a great phrase to use when you are talking to someone and

  • then now you are probably wanting to talk to someone else or go grab a drink, so you

  • will say, okay, ‘see you laterso yes y'all have met, y’all are talking about

  • something but now you want to go grab another drink for yourself, so you can say okay, ‘see

  • you around’. So it's a very informal way of exiting, so it's a very informal phrase

  • to use, right? Then another one that I have for you is, “it was nice meeting you”.

  • Now this is a great phrase to use when you are meeting a person for the first time. So

  • you are at a conference or probably you are at a party and you just met someone, you've

  • just been introduced to someone new, you're meeting him or her for the first time you

  • all talked about something y'all had a conversation about something and now it's time to go, you

  • have to leave, so a great phrase to use is, ‘it was nice meeting you’, okay? So you're

  • really happy and now that you have to exit then you can say oh it was really nice meeting

  • you. Okay that's how you will use this phrase. And then the last phrase that I have for you

  • can be used similar situation, “hope to see you again”. Either you can use it separately

  • or you can use it was nice meeting you, followed by hope to see you again. So again you can

  • use these phrases when you are meeting someone for the first time and you kind of clicked

  • with this person you are getting along and you're looking forward to see or meet this

  • person again, that would be great. So it was nice meeting you and then followed by hope

  • to see you again or you can just use it separately all right, you take care, hope to see you

  • again, okay? That's how you will use this phrase. So you got it there are certain situations

  • when you have to leave but just as I mentioned that you can't just get up and walk off the

  • situation, unless you're very angry or upset about something but yes you have to be nice

  • and polite and mention the partner that you're discussing with or talking with that yes you

  • have to leave. So these are the great eight phrases that you can use for exiting a conversation.

  • So keep using them, keep practicing them and I'm sure you'll get it. I'll be back with

  • a new lesson soon, till then you take care.
