Right, let's take a look at the first part. Why can't you keep your nose clean? Hmm, let's talk about keep your nose clean. I like this picture here. We'll talk about it in just a moment. But I'm going to give you other ways to say keep your nose clean.

This is the EDM, right? So it doesn't actually mean you know, get a tissue like she did in the conversation and clean your nose. It means something different. Okay, so here we go. First one, it means stay out of trouble, right? So don't do things that are going to get you in trouble.

Keep your nose clean, right? Don't look, look, I can type I know it. Don't look for problems. Right. Keep your nose clean, avoid problematic situations. And don't put your reputation in danger.

In other words, keep your nose clean. Stay out of trouble. Uh huh. We have somewhere in the comments. Bonnie Beth says hi. Say hello, welcome.

Okay, so here we are other ways to say keep your nose clean. Let's do some pronunciation. Repeat after me. And if you're doing pronunciation with me, put some apples in the comments and it lets me know that you're participating. All right, here we go, repeat. Keep your nose clean.

Stay out of trouble. Don't look for problems. Avoid problematic situations. Don't put your reputation in danger. Hmm. Let's talk about a few of these.

Your reputation is your history. what people think about you, right? So if you have a bad reputation It might be difficult for you to get business to get friends, or to have people want to deal with you, right? So don't put your reputation in danger. If you do bad things, then your reputation is in danger. Uh huh.

Mustafa rz is here. I salute everyone. He says hello, hello and welcome. Alright, so right now we're talking about other ways to say keep your nose clean, avoid problematic situations. So avoid means don't go there. Right?

Stay away from it. problematic is the adjective right? So problem is the noun. What is it? It's a thing. It's a problem.

If we avoid problematic situations, what kind of situation? Well, it's a problematic one. So the adjective here is problematic. It's describing what kind of situation I see. I turned her into Han says Hello, everyone. Hello and welcome.

Okay, so these are other ways to say keep your nose clean. I have to talk about this picture. Maybe in the comments, you guys can help me describe this picture. So this would be a good example of not keeping your nose clean because this guy, I think it's a guy. He's basically looking for problems, right? So he's laying down in the middle of a road, it looks like a hot day, he has his hand over his face, and his arms are spread out, his legs are spread out, and he's just waiting for a problem.

But this would be the opposite of keep your nose clean, right? This would be the opposite of stay out of trouble. Because if you're laying down in the middle of the road, and you're taking a nap, you're just waiting for a car truck to come and go. Right and run you over. So that's not really good. Bonnie Beth says he wants to die.

It's possible. Maybe he's just so tired and he's like, oh, the middle Love the road looks like a great place for a nap. But I think this was, this is what you would call a problematic situation laying in the middle of the road. And he is not avoiding it. He's going straight into it. Alright, let's move forward in the conversation.

Here we go. I can I have a tissue right here? That's not what I mean. You need to be more careful who you hang around. Uh huh. The first part?

That's not what I mean. Ah, Mustafa rz says he has a problem. Maybe his car was broken in a remote area. Let's go back to the picture. Yeah, it's possible. And I still have to ask the question, why?

Why are you laying in the middle of the road? I don't know. Okay, so let's talk about other ways to say that's not what I mean. Once again. In the conversation, he says not what I mean. That's not what I mean.

Okay, so here are other ways to say, That's not what I mean. And if you guys have other ways, put them in the comments and I will talk about them. Okay. So you can say, That's not what I'm trying to say. Right? I'm trying to say something else.

So similar words, but a different order to still say, That's not what I mean. You could say your assumption is incorrect. Right? So if I'm saying something, and then or someone else some says something I say that's not what I mean. What I'm trying to talk to them is okay, well, what you're thinking about what I'm saying your assumption is incorrect. Write your contract.

Using the situation, right? So the information that I'm trying to tell to you, you're confused somehow. And you can also say that's not what I want to say. So some of these are very similar to that's not what I mean. Right? But here we go.

Let's see, let's do a little pronunciation repeat after me. That's not what I mean. That's not what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say something else. Your assumption is incorrect. You're confusing the situation.

That's not what I want to say. Right? So these are all other ways to say this, pretty much the similar thing on That's not what I mean. Mustafa rz says Your guess is not as good as mine is the idiom is usually Your guess is as good as mine, which means, you know, I don't really know. But your guess is not as good as mine. I think that communicates that what you're thinking is not what I'm trying to say.

Right. So I'm trying to communicate something. But your guests, your guests at what I'm saying is not correct. Okay. And in the picture, I guess we have a toy. And he's got his arms up and he's like, ah, ah, that's not what I'm trying to say.

Your assumption? What you're assuming is incorrect. Okay. All right. The next part of this conversation is still in this section. Let's take a look.

That's not what I mean. You need to be more careful who you hang around. Uh huh. Let's talk about hang around. So this is a brace, right? It's not a full sentence.

Oh, and this picture will I will be talking about this picture in a moment. But first, let me give you other ways to say hang around. And if you guys have ideas, put them in the comments. Okay? So we could say spend time with, right, who you hanging around? Who are you spending time with?

Right? It's the people that you're, you're with, we could say, and I'll put the quotes so that we know that it's a phrase, it's not a full sentence. Okay? So we'll say share your time with if you spend your time with someone, it's kind of like spending money, right? You're using your time for something you use your money for something now using your time, you could share your time with something Uh huh. Mustafa rz says do something with right.

That means like take action. You're doing things with people, right? You're hanging around them. Very nice. We could also To say this is a bit more formal, but I'll give you guys some other ways you could say, with whom you associate. And associate is a really good way to just say hang around, right?

Who do you associate with? With whom you associate? Mm hmm. Okay, let's say with with whom you keep company, right? Keep company is just describing the company, the people that you spend time with the people around you. Okay?

We can also say, with whom you socialize, hmm. So we are very social people, right? That's inside the word, socialize, socialize basically means to interact with other people, right? So if we're talking about who do you hang around, we're talking about with whom you socialize with. Mukesh company, like Mustafa says do something with Who do you do things with? Who do you hang around?

Right? Right. Okay. And the picture I have I found this picture. So, you might ask, Who do you hang around this nice lady who loves to walk in the woods with her tongue like this. It looks like Little Red Riding Hood.
