 What's up guys evil dear here, and I'm back for some more random Esperanto slash perfect dark lessons So in this particular lesson, I'm going to be focusing on two verbs which cause English speakers a little bit trouble And those verbs are C and Connie okay, and I'm kind of drawing at that C the sc sound because I want to Sorry, my phone just went off. I wanted to kind of like Pronounce the sound so you can really hear it normally people just say miss CST on like they really merged the two together But I'm gonna try and more clearly pronounce the sounds right now. Anyway Also, I've had a few people complain about the fact that my voice within these gaming videos isn't the best And that's because I'm using like this crappy little IKEA type of mic I don't know why I said IKEA. It's not really from there, but it's a pretty bad mic It's a pretty bad mic, but now I've just ordered me a blue yeti microphone of death So in a few weeks, I should have some awesome crystal clear sounds coming from my mouth Anyway, let's get into the lesson. Shall we enough with the random distractions? So the first verb C means to know to have knowledge of or to know or to have a precise idea of a K Now the other one Connie means to be acquainted with now Just give me one sec because I just got to do this for the random quest because we are playing a game as Well and take photos. Let's get out of this. Let's get back down to that baby turn around. Ah, no wrong Forgot that you got a person deactivate the cam slide How could I forget that after 20 years of not playing this game? Seriously, okay, so Well, you know like I know I said one means to be acquainted with and the other means to have knowledge of but To me as an Australian English speaker that really doesn't mean much because I never use the word to be acquainted with It just doesn't exist in English to me It sounds like something a stuffy old British guy with a tea and a cat on his lap might say, you know, I'm mildly acquainted with Frank We go way back, but I don't know what about you guys Do you ever say to be acquainted with like is that something that Americans do and? Brits do like I don't know I don't know but anyway Let's work on the example to explain the difference of these two verbs So just remember see means to have knowledge of to have a precise idea of and Connie means To be acquainted with so we're gonna use an ex idea We're gonna use a phrase now where you could use evil or and it changes the nuance of the sentence So miss Cs la poem on means I know the poem, but it means I know the poem So goddamn well that I can recite it from heart. Well, that's gone backwards like I know everything about that poem Well, you can ask the poem on means I know the poem. I'm mildly acquainted with it It's like me and Shakespeare even on the theater theater trained actor. I Still do not know it, you know off the top of my head I can't recite the whole thing from the top of my head unless it's for like a player And then I know my words, but yeah, that's the difference between the two one is like full on knowledge And the other is to be acquainted with Now obviously as I said because we barely ever use these two in English There are times where you might get a little bit confused about which you should use now For instance when you're talking about I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what to eat I know where to go. I know what to do top of thing, you know that one that's talking about a precise idea You're talking about the idea of something to do. Okay, so there you would use see us Okay, and you would never use conus like almost never I've never seen anyone use conus in that type of situation Because like I said, you're talking about a precise idea of knowing what to do. It's not being acquainted with what to do It's knowing what to do. So you'd say I don't know what to do me ne see us key on Fadi. Okay Now when you're talking about say for instance a person, this is where it gets a little bit more muddy So you could say for instance, I know that person you could say miss us to him or me con us to him But there is a difference in modern Esperanto. We almost always use me con us to him for I know that person but Zamenhof the guy who you know the guy who created this language just old Zamenhof him he kind of used both Okay, like sometimes you'd say miss see us to him or me con us to him depending on how much he was trying to put emphasis on the Fact that he really knew that person but modern Esperanto It doesn't matter how much you really know someone you pretty much always just use con us Okay, so just remember that put that into like the back of your little memory bank There's another time. Okay, for instance when you're talking about language where you basically Will never fully know a language as in miss see us lingon again Zamenhof old mate He did every now and then use it button modern Esperanto. How dare you kick me in the back? That is so rude We pretty much always just say me con us lingon me neck on us lingon However, you will see some constructions you pretty much always say con us. Okay, why am I doing that? I'm pulling out the wrong thing. I'm distracting myself with teaching. I've got to stop doing that Not the teaching part the distracting part. Oh my god. I'm getting again. Give me one second activate go There we go. Now I'm hacking that computer You notice how in every movie of the world when they hack a computer There's like all these like 3d effects and stuff but when you really hack a computer it's not that you're sitting there looking for holes and software and More like holes and firewalls and stuff. So you don't sit there for this little magic machine I just like hacks through the air Wi-Fi style. Anyway, I just wanted to get have that like a random, you know, winch So, how would you then say I know his face? By the way faces visage on Me con us lian visage on again is because you're acquainted with a person You're also acquainted with that face In the sense that you've seen it around but you don't know every look and cranny other you haven't sit there studied Every little pimple on his face. Have you now? Have you unless you're like really weird? You're one of those stalkers that hangs out in his rooms when they're asleep, but yeah So you pretty much always use con us there So when you're talking about a person or a trait of a person you use con us when you're talking about a language You use con us, but when you're talking about pretty much anything else You use see us unless you're trying to make it the the whole emphasis that you have a mild Understanding of something you've seen it, but like when you're talking about something like I I can read a book You say miss see us leggy leave it on. Okay, but you could use other verbs obviously, but there you'd always use see us over con Anyway, I've reached the end of this level from memory.
