What gives? - What's going on?

from Daily English Idioms | 英会話力が劇的UP! · host Idiom Lab

Today’s episode is about the idiom “What gives?” It is a casual way of asking "What is the reason for this?" or "Why is this happening?" when something unexpected occurs. The phrase is often used in everyday conversations or even at work when a situation doesn't make sense, and you want to express a hint of surprise or frustration. 📚 For a more detailed explanation, visit my blog ▼ https://xs347001.xsrv.jp/what-gives-meaning/ ▶️YouTube https://youtu.be/nAsxMD_pDHY #WhatGives #EnglishIdioms #LearnEnglish #ESL #EnglishLearning #EnglishVocabulary #EnglishSpeaking #LanguageLearning #EverydayEnglish #EnglishPractice #FluencyTips --- stand.fmでは、この放送にいいね・コメント・レター送信ができます。 https://stand.fm/channels/689c2813f95fb125879d80a3
