What's 'bugging you'?

Yishu H.

Hello, and welcome to Speak good English with me, Yishu. There's an English phrase to descirbe something that is really annoying or irritating. If something or someone bugs you, it means you are irritated by it or them.  

Let’s listen to some examples of this expression, shall we?

  • My car is always breaking down. It really bugs me that they can't fix it.
  • My friend is bugging me about going to the cinema, but I really don't feel like it
  • I'm sorry. I don't mean to bug you by asking you again, but I forgot if you wanted tea or coffee.

You' are listening to Speak Good English with Yishu and we are hearing about the expression 'bug someone', which means something is irritating or annoying someone. It can be used to talk about a thing or a person that we find annoying. 

Do you like the phrase today? I am Yishu. See you tomorrow and bye for now!
