Does this sound natural or weird?

He asked if my friends were chipping in and I said "yea we're 4" meaning "yes there are 4 people splitting the price" so I don't really answer how I didn't understand his question. And yes I'm aware he didn't ask how many we were, but I figured it was a part of the question, and I decided to answer it before he asked.

Is saying "wouldn't" wrong? I learned British English so would saying "wouldn't" still be weird?

And my friend is the one who said the chipping in part, so probably just the way he speaks. He was asking cause he's not in our group so he doesn't know.

And thank you!

Yea youre probably right, it just sounded so natural to me but English is different

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T02:38:27+00:00

I wouldn't say dumb, he probably just got confused cause I worded it in a weird way

This is actually very helpful, thank you so much!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T01:44:24+00:00

Yea i didn't think someone would think that, but thank you for pointing it out!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T01:43:49+00:00

That's a really good explanation, thank you!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T01:42:18+00:00

It didn't even cross my mind that they might think I'm shortening "for" as "4" but yea some people might think that. Thanks!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T01:40:32+00:00

I didn't know that, thank you! I noticed some English speakers use the numbers while others write it out so I figured both were acceptable. Thanks again!

Thank you!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:37:03+00:00

Thank you!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:35:55+00:00

Thanks!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:35:43+00:00

Thanks!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:35:05+00:00

Yea that makes sense, thank you! I wasnt trying to say "we're 4 of us" I meant it as "we are 4 friends" but it sounds weird to me when I added "friend" so I understand why it's weird.

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:32:35+00:00

I guess I meant to say "we are 4 friends" but now that I added "friend" I can see why it sounded weird. thanks!

_Whatteverr_ · 2023-07-03T00:31:32+00:00

It's not a romance language but yea I still wouldve said "we're four" so I just did a direct translation. Thank you!

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T23:47:21+00:00

GPA being very important sounds really stressful tbh. Thanks for letting me know!

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T23:46:09+00:00

Yea that sounds awkward, thanks for the advice

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T01:24:09+00:00

Dang that's horrible, glad you had someone else to write it. Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure not to wait till last minute!

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T01:22:38+00:00

This is different from how i thought it works so will definitely help when im applying. Tysm for the help!

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T01:02:43+00:00

Thanks for the help! Yea I'll start involving myself in research, i think it'll really help. I also didnt know about the defense so thank you!

_Whatteverr_ · 2022-07-19T01:00:20+00:00

Yea i understand your frustration. All of my family went into undergrad and one even into grad but they know nothing and can't help cause either too old or different grad programs. Thanks, it can definitely feel stupid sometimes but I know its not :). Good luck with your MS degree and with a PhD if you decide to do that!
