Learn the English Phrases "finally done" and "finely done"

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases FINALLY DONE and FINELY DONE

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase finally done. Now, I used this phrase, actually, in yesterday's video. I think I said something like, the school year is finally done. And this simply means that something that you want to be finished has actually finished. And maybe you've been waiting for that for a long time. Maybe you're studying English and you're finally done studying for an exam that you have coming up. Maybe you're working at a job on a big project and it's taken months, but you're finally done and you're happy because you can move on to something new. So when something is finally done, we often use that phrase. We just say, oh, it's finally done. Or I'm so happy that the school year is finally done. That would be another good example.

The second phrase I want to teach you today is finely done. Now, that might sound the same to you, but it's not. Finally done. Finely done. There's one less syllable here. When something is finely done, it means it's done with a high degree of precision, and it's just done really well. The best thing I can think of is if you buy an expensive car and it has a leather steering wheel. The work on the steering wheel is very finely done. They've probably stitched it very precisely. It's probably done in a way where it looks really, really good. You would say that it's finely done.

So to review, when something is finally done, you're just happy that it's over. Sometimes I'm sad, though, when the school year is finally done. But mostly I'm happy. Actually, that's not true. I'm usually not ever sad when the school year is done. And when something is finely done, it means it's done well. Like, if you think about the stitching around the pockets of your pants, it's very finely done. It's done with precision and accuracy. So one more time, just so you can hear the difference. Finally done. Finally done. And finely done. Finely done. I know to your ear they might sound very similar, but they are definitely different in pronunciation and meaning.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Ünsal. Hello, teacher Bob. I'm so glad to see you. I will be looking forward to your trip to the USA, and I'm already curious about what you will do with teacher Brent. Have you made any plans for what you will do together, or will it be spontaneous? Have a great day. Bye. And my response, we haven't made any specific plans yet, but I'm sure we'll think of something.

So, no, we haven't really talked too much about this trip. Brent's actually been on a trip of his own and so it hasn't been like a good time. I've been busy. He's been away to Iceland and Poland and Turkey, I think were the three places that he went. I'm pretty sure he's on his way home now. I did text him a little bit yesterday and we finalized some little parts of the plan, but no, I'm not sure yet what exactly we will be doing. It should be fun. We'll have to see. I'm excited to go, though. I think it will be a lot of fun. But I have a few things to do around here before I head out next week and then I'll be on the road. I will hit the road and drive to Maine, so that will be fun.

A few things around here, though, that I wanted to show you, in particular, I love it when flowers really start to take off, when they start to bloom. In English, when you say something is taking off, it means it's doing well or growing well or things are just going well. So you can see here sunflowers, they grew like crazy. These aren't quite blooming yet, but Jen will be harvesting them soon. But in particular, I wanted to show you the zinnias. Always one of my favorite times of year when the zinnias start to bloom. I think there's a bee working right here on this one. That's good to see as well. Lots of life out here in the flower field. Lots of fun to see when everything is growing and doing well.

Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson. It's fun to be back at it. I'll see you in a few days with another one. Bye.
