Hello, everybody. Welcome back to daily easy English expression, the podcast. Today's expression, very useful, it is no less so than ...
No less so than ...
We can also say no less than, we don't need to have the word so but what does this mean?
Well what about this.
Do you have a mother?
Very good. Do you have a brother or a sister?
Uh -huh. So have you ever asked your mother, mom who do you love more me or my sister and how does your your mother answer you well I don't know about you but my mother always says I love you more than your sister haha no of course not she never says that if anything she would say the opposite no it's not true my mom always say my mom always says I love you no less So then your sister What a terrible answer, but what does it mean it means I love you an Equal amount to your sister.
I love you the same as your sister.
I love you just as your sister Bad bad bad, bad.
I don't want to hear that.
I want to hear more more Yeah Dear Santa Claus, will you bring me more gifts than my sister?
Shane, I'll bring you no less so than your sister.
Santa Claus, I hate you.
Bring me more. I don't want an equal amount.
I'm older than my sister.
Bring me more. Mom, I'm seven years older than my sister.
you should love me seven years more.
Equal...get out of here!
There's no equal. I'm joking!
Check out the dialogue.
I'm trying to sleep less these days.
Why? Sleep is important.
No less so than food and water.
But I want to start exercising.
Oh, great! But don't reduce your sleep.
Why? Why? So many people, I think, you know, professional people, you know, active people, they want to sleep less.
They look for ways in order to sleep less.
I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I think that's wrong.
I think you should do your best to sleep natural.
I mean if you only sleep five hours, good for you, but if you sleep five hours and you If you use an alarm clock and you're really tired when you wake up, sleep more.
Go to bed earlier. Me, I really do need, I need to have seven hours of sleep a day.
I need to. If I don't get seven hours of sleep in one day, I'm dead the next day.
So usually I'll sleep like four hours and then three hours, something like that.
Sometimes I'll sleep straight, but yeah, I need to have seven hours, even better, eight or nine hours.
If I get like eight or nine hours of sleep, oh yeah.
I'm doing good. I'll have a very good day.
Intellectually I'm more smart, yeah.
So for me sleep is very important, no less so than good food.
Lots of water. No less so than good food, just as important as good food.
The same as good food.
The same as an equal amount to good food.
I need that sleep. No less so than...
That's a good expression.
Can you think of a situation?
Think about somebody you love.
No less so than somebody else.
What if your mother or your wife or your husband asks you What is my favorite thing?
Like, you know, for food Like which food do you like the best that they cook?
Like my mom. She'll say Which do you like better?
My goulash or my stew?
Oh boy, that's a tough answer How do I answer?
I like them both I like the goulash no less so than the stew It's a great expression, the same as yes, it's complicated, but it sounds really intelligent.
No less so than. Today's podcast is important, but no less so than yesterday's podcast. I hope that you're able to listen every day.
