Have you ever heard English speakers talk like this? What do you think? What do you want? What do you say? What do they say? What do they mean? Let's examine this a little more closely. In English, we sometimes squeeze together or reduce words that aren't so important for our meeting. And we emphasize or expand words that are. It's kind of like an accordion. Squeeze together. Expand. Squeeze together. Expand. What do you say? What do you know? Notice the first three words, what do you do? Are squished together as if they are one word. What do you? What do you? What do you? What do you? What do you? What do you? What do you? Or what do you? Even though we say this, we seldom write it down. Let's put it together with other words. You can say it the slow way or the fast way. The slow way. What do you want? The fast way. What do you want? What do you do? What do you do? What do you know? What do you know? What do you say? What do you say? What do you see? What do you see? Here's where it gets a bit complicated. What are you doing? This is short form. What are you doing? Wait a minute. Aren't those two different kinds of grammar? Yes, they are. But sometimes we say the phrase is so fast that they sound alike. Compare. What do you do? What are you doing? What do you do? What are you doing? What do you do? What are you doing? Notice you hear a very clear r sound. What are you doing? What do you do? What are you doing? Sounds almost the same. What are you? Special meanings. Some of these phrases and sentences have special idiomatic meanings. For example, the sentence, What do you do? Can mean, What is your occupation or job? What do you do? I'm a mechanic. What do you think? What do you think means, What is your opinion of my idea or this proposal? We ought to get a new tech person. What do you think? What do you say? This is similar to what do you think, but it carries a slightly different meaning. It can mean, I'd like your agreement or confirmation. Let's take a break. What do you say? It can also be used at the beginning of a sentence when making a suggestion. What do you say we go see a movie? What do you know? I'm surprised to hear or to learn of that. It is often preceded by, Well, Well, What do you know? Jim got first place. What do you want? Be careful with this one. It often carries a negative meaning. It can imply, Don't bother me. Or why are you asking me that? Can't you see I'm busy? We're finished. What do you think? Was that helpful? If you'd like more information, please check out our websites.
