Now the way we use this expression is like this.
Oh, that song is to die for.
That food is to die for.
You are to die for.
But we don't say to die for we say to to die for ah You're to die for that food is to die for that song is to die for What does it mean?
Well, if you listen to my voice, you might be able to guess that it has a positive meaning and yes It does if something is to die for it is excellent For example, if you're watching that movie and you die you will die happy.
If you listen to that song and you die you will die happy.
You don't have to die.
Of course, we do not want you to die.
It just means it's so good you could die happily.

Maybe something that your mother cooks or if there's a famous restaurant or a bakery in your town.
Or maybe there's a special person.
Maybe a singer or a movie star or a English teacher.
That is just so wonderful.
that person is to die for.
His lessons are to die for.
Or, I guess, maybe her lessons, I mean if there's a woman teacher that you really like but if it's a guy, of course, like me, I mean like his lessons are to die for.
