به انگلیسی مودبانه مخالفت کن

Hello ladies and gents

today we’ll learn how to disagree with something

without coming off rude.

Scene one

a casual situation in a shopping store

where your friend is trying to buy something.

But the dress is not that good.

She asks:

“what do you think about this dress?

I like it.

You have two options.

One

being a complete A-hole

and say no…

But come on

you’re not that rude, Right?

You can use three words

before disagreeing with your friend.

Number 1

actually

You can say: actually I think the blue one

suits you better.

Number 2

well

well, I think the other one is better.

Number 3

to be honest

to be honest

I don’t think this is the one for you.

You see?

It’s much more polite.

Scene two

a formal situation in which a co-worker

brings a proposal for a pay raise.

But you are the boss

and usually, you want all the money for yourself

you won’t even give blood to mosquitoes

giving a raise to a present employee?

Is this a joke?

But still

you wanna look caring, polite, and professional

so you don’t suddenly say no.

Instead, you can use three words

before disagreeing with your employee.

Number 1

with respect

with respect I think this proposal would not

effectively help us in achieving our goals.

Number 2

as a matter of fact

Certainly we would like to consider this proposal.

But as a matter of fact,

The company has some other priorities

that we have to take into account.

So for now

I will put this proposal in my drawer.

Number 3

frankly

frankly I don’t think this proposal

is being presented at the right time.

I think you should wait a little longer

for this to be considered.

Alright ladies and gents

Use these 6 words as often as possible

to look more classy and polite.

That’s it.

see you my classy friends!
