And these really are used more among close friends or co-workers you know really well.

You know, they're very informal.

Right.

It's interesting.

So interesting.

And coming up with examples for this episode, it was interesting how some of them sounded so rude to me.

But then others, I'm like, okay, I could hear that among friends, but they were very informal.

And we are going to be talking about intonation a lot because that matters a lot too.

A few of these I'm definitely going to give kind of the rude intonation and the more polite intonation because they can come depending on the intonation you use.

They often can sound rude when you don't mean to.

No, exactly.

Right.

So, for example, you know, oh, close the door, will you?

Like this is polite.

This is you're just being you're just asking someone to close the door.

But then with different intonation, you can sound irritated and rude.

Like, yes, like you think they should have closed the door and they didn't.

Right.

Close the door, will you?

It's very different.
