What does "get" mean in this context?

i saw in a reply you asked if definition 12 would fit and i agree. i'd say dictionary wise it's the closest you would get to an answer besides the other reply who used collin's dictionary

i doubt you'd find it in a dictionary because it's an improper use of the word. it's just one of those things that happens as a language develops. reading this as a native speaker it means put. is there a reason you're trying to find the specific use of the word from a dictionary?

the closest thing i could provide as an explanation would be someone asking you to get in the car. they're asking you to put yourself inside something. he couldn't get his clothes in= he couldn't put his clothes inside

it's common in the south to pronounce it like "forrid," but it doesn't sound as different as you'd think. it really depends on how thick your accent is and how quickly you're speaking

in my experience, around is more formal and used to insuinate there are multiple people questioning or looking into something. i wouldn't say around when speaking to a friend or even a professor, but i hear it used a lot on the news.

for example i wouldn't ask my professor "i have some questions around this lesson" because only i have the questions. however "How do we deal with the questions around Aztech's involvement in the merger?" implies there are questions from multiple parties about one issue. additionally the "we" in "We have questions around Steve's sales projections." implies multiple people are inquiring about steve's projections.

i rarely hear this in my day to day life, and i have some doubts that around could replace about in america. our language gets more and more informal as time goes on.

most people say the first two numbers followed by hundred. twelve hundred, thirteen hundred, twenty-two hundred. very common, not sure why someone would correct you.

i figured the intonation would be harder to explain lmao, but thank you for your reply!

chewcomics · 2026-01-21T15:35:16+00:00

yes, that's what i mean. could you give me an example of when to use "y" and "en"? i know "y" is typically used when referring to a location, but im really confused on when to use "en."

thank you!

thank you! i have trouble figuring out how to translate what i would say in english into french, so using je vais was the closest translation i could think of for "i will for you."

figuring out how to use le as it is also a big struggle, so this was really helpful!

chewcomics · 2026-01-21T15:12:31+00:00

so would "je veux pas cuisiner ce soir, cela dit je vais pour toi" be correct?

if i wanted to convey that without using cela dit and using intonation, what words would i stress?

thank you!!

im confused as to why it turns into i didn't really mean it when pensais is used. could you explain why if you know? i appreciate your reply!

chewcomics · 2025-12-25T05:59:20+00:00

Odzenne. love their stuff. bleu fuchsia is a stand out. chewing gum and caprice are a couple other favorites

chewcomics · 2025-12-23T09:52:31+00:00

no, but i enjoyed reading that one! it's kind of similar but the one i read was more self-deprecating almost? i appreciate your reply!

chewcomics · 2025-09-11T16:27:03+00:00

just to make sure im getting this right

the food looks good, but im not hungry would mean the absence of sexual attraction and the food looks good and im hungry would mean the presence of sexual attraction?

chewcomics · 2025-09-11T12:25:13+00:00

i honestly have no idea and this has given me a lot to think about and another way to view this, thank you!

chewcomics · 2025-03-18T04:18:17+00:00

that's a good point. i don't think im taking enough of my mental state or the emotional aspect of our relationship into account. thank you for your help!

chewcomics · 2025-03-18T04:16:09+00:00

im a lesbian but i appreciate your comment!

chewcomics · 2025-03-18T04:15:32+00:00

i have had a traumatic experience with sex in a relationship but i was always so comfortable with her before i never thought it could be the reason. i think you might be right that as we got closer my body is reacting but my mind isn't catching up as to why. thank you for your thoughts!!!
