Po Valentinovem

Vem, da sem malo pozna, a kaj, ko sem danes našla en simpatičen članek o ljubezni oziroma o tem, kako se v angleščini o njej pogovarjamo. En kup koristnih izrazov je, zato priporočam branje :)

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE
As today is Valentine’s Day, I thought I would look at the language of love, in particular, the verbs and prepositions of love! Of course, you all know that when you are lucky enough to meet that special someone, you fall in love; if you are really lucky, you may fall in love at first sight! If you spend all of your time with your loved one, your friends may say that you are crazy about him or her. Take care here, because if you say that someone is driving you crazy, it means they make you really annoyed and angry! This is not a good phrase to use about your sweetheart!

Did you know that before you fall in love, you might fancy someone? This means that you like them a lot, and would like to know them a lot better! If you manage to get to know the person you admire, you can go out on a date, and hopefully, you will get on well. But, you may just have a crush on him or her, which means that your feelings may change in time… You can also fall out of love, and in this case, you may break up, or split up with your beloved (who then becomes your ex). But this is not a very good topic for Valentine’s Day! So if you have had an argument and fallen out, today of all days, you should try to make up with the person who is close to your heart. As the custom on Valentine’s Day is to send cards or flowers, you have the perfect excuse to forgive and forget whatever happened in the past, and make a fresh start!
