Hey there, Aubrey.

How's everything today?

I am great, Lindsay.

How are you today?

Doing good, doing good.

Aubrey, is there anyone in your life that you consider pretty condescending?

Oh, I do know someone who's really condescending.

And he means well.

I don't think he intends to do it.

But if ever he's talking about something that he's a bit of an expert in, like if he knows more about the other people around him,

his tone is really condescending and the phrases he uses.

There have been a couple of times where I kind of want to pull him aside and be like, yeah

because i don't think we need to repair this right yeah

i i feel like a lot of times people don't realize it

or it happens for different reasons uh for me uh the

triage nurse at my baby's doctor is kind of condescending

and you know when you have a new baby you call

because you're worried about things of course

and i can understand why she is a bit condescending

because she probably gets called and she understands the difference between an emergency and a non -emergency and And, but it's, it's kind of,

yeah, jolting when you hear it as a new mom and you just don't know.

Right.

I have gotten this from medical professionals as well.

And I think it kind of makes sense

if they're dealing with the same questions all day and the answer seems so obvious to them,

it's probably hard for them to keep the condescension out of their tone when they really just want to be like,

seriously, how do you not know this?

But for us, it's the first time it's the first time it's the first time exactly

so condescension i i'm not used to using that noun

but i guess that is a word right condescension is

that yes that's the noun

if someone is being condescending then this yeah they are creating condescension that's the noun yeah interesting

so it is a thing it is out to use a verb yeah yeah

but we usually just use the adjective condescending right exactly much more common

and this is interesting this was inspired by an article in HuffPost, Six Common Phrases You May Not Realize Are Condescending.

This is interesting to read through these because it's going to be interesting to talk about all of these.

Some of them definitely can be condescending depending on your tone, but a lot of them could also be perfectly harmless depending on the situation.

Tone is huge.

What you've said before is huge, right?

For your friend that shows up and every time he's condescending, that means next time he's also going to be condescending, right?

But if he were a brand new person, you didn't know him, he used a different tone of voice, it wouldn't be considered condescending.

So you kind of create a bit of a reputation for yourself, right?

Yeah, that happens for sure.

And I should share this was by Kelsey Morrison in July of 2026.

If you want to check out this article,

we're going to share those phrases and some similar ones that we might say or share and dive into.

We should probably first define condescending.

What does that mean, Lindsay?

So it's basically when we speak to someone in a way that implies our own superiority,

whether that's in terms of knowledge or abilities, right?

Or I don't know, whatever it is, you feel like you're above that person.

And that's when it's really hard to not be condescending for anyone.

If you're an expert and so every, something starts seeming so obvious to you and then someone doesn't know, doesn't realize that's when it's difficult.

It's kind of a fight to keep that judgment, that, you know, that condescending tone out of your voice.

Yeah, for sure. For sure.

All right, Aubrey, where do we start here today?

Yeah, so this is interesting.

So in the article, they interviewed Celeste Headley, who was the author of a book, We Need to Talk, How to Have Conversations That Matter.

And this was really interesting.

Headley said, when you are condescending, you are putting on a false persona of kindness.

But beneath that is a clear message of superiority you're treating them in a way

that shows that they are inferior

so this is really interesting the false kindness is sort of separate right sometimes you someone's an expert

and they know the answers

and then sometimes it's a little separate where it's um in the tone

because you're trying to hide that judgment you're trying to hide

that expertise with this sort of false kindness in your tone

but people can still hear that interesting interesting uh so why do you think people talk down to others?

Like, why do you think people even do this, Aubrey?

Where does it come from?

Yeah.

And that's a great brazil verb you're using there, right?

To talk down.

That's another way we say if someone's being condescending, you say you're talking down to people.

That we use even more in, you know, conversations.

I'd be like, don't talk down to me.

It means please don't be condescending.

Exactly.

We kind of touched on this briefly when we talked about the nurse, for example, they're encountering a lot of information over

and over the same questions it seems obvious to them

because they've experienced it many times right

but for the person on the other end they may have only heard

it once encountering it for the first time not realize how they sound

or maybe they do want the person on the end of the phone to know

that they think like you should have figured this out on your own sometimes there is sort of

that intent for it to let someone know that they think.

there's the reason you know

that they do they like want

you to feel stupid we'll have to see we'll see what happens next time I call her

so maybe you should put her in her place let's say no oh gosh yeah right

but other reasons people might do it is maybe they feel insecure

I mean this we're getting into psychology here right

but it's a known fact that

when someone feels insecure some people puff up right they puff up they get bigger um

and you can see right through it.

Some people get smaller, some people get bigger.

We can see this in some well -known politicians at the moment.

I'm not going to name any names.

But yeah, that's true.

100

You can see this feeling of insecurity when someone's trying to make other people feel small.

101

When they're criticizing them or calling them names, most of us can see like, oh, this is just an insecurity in the person who's being rude.

102

Exactly.

103

And again, sometimes they might not realize they're being condescending.

104

We've said that would be another reason people are this way.

105

What else, Aubrey?

106

Or maybe they do want to feel superior.

107

They want to feel like they're in control.

108

They want to show their knowledge, right?

109

That medical professional, they might, they're like, okay, I want to feel the, like all of the medical school I went to was for something.

110

They're sort of lording that knowledge over you.

111

Yeah.

112

This does make me think a lot of bedside manner and how it didn't used to be important or demanded by patients.

113

And now in 2026, it is demanded that doctors not only perform great medicine and be competent,

114

but they also need to be not condescending.

115

They need to be polite.

116

They need to have a good bedside manner.

117

Well, because once upon a time, there were no other options.

118

There was one doctor in the village that you could call.

119

Now we have so many options that doctors also have to be personable.

120

They need to make you feel, um, you know, or you could choose someone else.

121

Right. For sure.

122

Yeah, absolutely.

123

Um, all right.

124

So should we get into some of the phrases

125

that from the article they believe might sound condescending and we'll add our own opinion.

126

We'll add some nuance here, guys.

127

We'll, uh, show you some role plays.

128

We'll bring these ideas to life.

129

Yes.

130

So there are six phrases here.

131

We're going to dive into all of them.

132

The first one is, oh, how cute, or that's sweet, that's cute, or in the South, in the United States, we'll often hear, bless your heart.

133

These sort of all have the same meaning.

134

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

135

So here's a quick role play.

136

I tried to change the oil, but I just made a mess.

137

Oh, how cute.

138

We should probably take it to a mechanic.

139

So this is very condescending, right?

140

There are so many things I could say to be kind of like oh i appreciate

141

that you tried or like you did better than i could do something like

142

that instead to say how cute or like bless your heart right it's so true

143

and i feel like nine times out of ten

144

this is going to be a man speaking to a woman

145

most of the time right like that's that's what we're that's what i'm picturing at least i don't know

146

so there is a phrase of you guys i'm sure out there listening have heard it um mansplaining

147

and that did come up in this article

148

and women can do this of course

149

this is like someone who feels like they know more than the person they're explaining to

150

and so then they explain in a way that's very condescending

151

so it's been coined this sort of mansplaining

152

because men do this a lot not gonna lie

153

but i've definitely seen women do this i have done i have been guilty of this

154

and i catch myself but it's true nine times out of ten you're not wrong yeah

155

but no women's play women's planning is a thing and i call that out too.

156

A hundred percent.

157

We all deserve to be called out.

158

But I think a lot of times when people do the splain, they don't know that they're doing the splain, right?

159

No, they wouldn't do it if they realized how it's coming across, right?

160

Yeah.

161

Yeah, totally.

162

All right.

163

So what else, Aubrey?

164

Is there another one?

165

This is interesting.

166

So for this, oh, how cute, right?

167

If you are being genuine, if you're genuinely trying to express that something is cute or sweet, you could absolutely say this, right?

168

If you say this about a baby or a puppy, it's condescending when someone is trying to do something and

169

if they're failing then you are sort of highlighting the failure by calling it cute

170

or saying bless your heart that's what's condescending about it yeah i think

171

when it comes to gender

172

if you're worried about anything there i would just say ask yourself would you say it to

173

if you're a guy would you also say that to a guy would you say that to a guy

174

if if yes or

175

if not just judge

176

it based on is is it depending on who i'm talking to the gender of who I'm talking to,

177

or is it just what I want to say?

178

That's such a good point, right?

179

Am I changing this because of who I'm talking to, right?

180

Because yeah, that's true.

181

We can diagnose ourselves, our own prejudices, and try to improve that.

182

Exactly, exactly.

183

All right, so the second one that they believe is condescending is, well, actually, or Aubrey, there's a paired phrase here.

184

What is it?

185

It's, don't you think?

186

Yeah, these very similar meanings, right?

187

Let's dive right into a role play and then we'll dive we'll explain here

188

so maybe i'd say i heard the meeting was moved to thursday

189

Well, actually it's still on Wednesday, but it's been moved to the afternoon.

190

Yeah.

191

So it's all about when you're correcting someone, right?

192

If you're correcting someone and you use these phrases, well, actually, or don't you think like, don't you think you should do this instead?

193

Those do sound condescending.

194

Judging, condescending.

195

I know better than you do.

196

Now be careful here because there's a lot of context in which actually, or well, actually, it's still on Wednesday would be okay.

197

So if you take this chunk in itself, out of this context and into another moment, it might not be condescending.

198

So this is a very high level episode today, Aubrey.

199

Exactly.

200

Yeah.

201

If you just say like, oh, I'll be there at eight.

202

Well, actually I probably can't get there until eight 30.

203

I'm just clarifying.

204

Right.

205

So yeah, it all depends on the tone and the situation for this phrase.

206

It's when you're correcting someone or telling them what they should do instead that often comes off as condescending.

207

Oh my goodness.

208

Yeah.

209

So be careful there.

210

Uh, next one that we love here is, or we don't love if you're trying your best.

211

Yeah.

212

So maybe if I say, Oh, I'm trying to get along with my siblings, but it's really tough.

213

Yeah.

214

Well, you know, you're trying your best.

215

Yeah.

216

This is interesting.

217

Cause I could see people saying this and being very well -intentioned, but I get that it, you know, it could definitely come across wrong.

218

Because if someone is having difficulty with something, for example, if you've had a lot of job interviews and no success,

219

and someone says, you're trying your best, you're kind of implying that they're not capable of doing any better, which might not feel great.

220

Exactly, exactly.

221

So you're implying that there's a real ceiling to their ability, right?

222

Yeah, and this is subtle.

223

And so yeah, the person who says it might not even realize um

224

and that almost makes it worse that it's kind of

225

so passive you're trying your best you're trying

226

so what could we say instead i mean what like what should we say in

227

that case to not be condescending yeah i think just to show more empathy like i can't even

228

that must be really hard maybe ask follow -up questions

229

so yeah instead of just making this blank blanket statement

230

that's related to their ability right anything else exactly make comments on the situation like with the job interview situation,

231

you could say, oh, I heard it's a really weird job market right now.

232

You know, let me know if you want to run through your resume or so.

233

I don't know.

234

Offer to help or something.

235

Yes.

236

Anything that shows more empathy.

237

Yeah.

238

Yeah.

239

Okay.

240

Number four, Aubrey, what's the fourth?

241

All right.

242

You just need to or shouldn't you.

243

So this is jumping in with advice when maybe it hasn't been asked for.

244

Like maybe, for example, if I say I'm having a hard time sleeping at night.

245

You just needed to charge your phone in a different room.

246

Yeah.

247

So this, it implies that.

248

Well, it's interesting because maybe, but you've said it in such less condescending.

249

You'd be like, you know, what works for me is, or I heard that you could try this.

250

There are so many better ways to phrase something.

251

Whereas this, you just need to, or shouldn't you consider both our condescending ways to say that, implying that I wouldn't have thought of that before.

252

I think that what both of these do is they oversimplify the person, right?

253

And same with the previous example.

254

They oversimplify the person and what they're trying to do and the circumstance, right?

255

People are not simple.

256

You just need to do this and your problem will be solved.

257

Yeah.

258

It's never that easy, right?

259

Exactly.

260

Yes.

261

So better things, again, you could say, have you considered putting your phone in another room overnight?

262

Or one thing that worked for me was, yeah, like if you guys have been listeners of the podcast for a while,

263

Lindsay has given me that advice, but in a really respectful way, never in a way that felt condescending.

264

Exactly.

265

Exactly.

266

I'm glad she didn't feel like it was condescending.

267

I was panicking there for a moment.

268

Yeah.

269

You wouldn't be like, you just need to charge your phone another room and then you'll be fine.

270

She can see guys, it's all about connection.

271

It's all about the words, the words and the delivery and the context.

272

What you understand about me is that hopefully I'm not a condescending person right?

273

So you don't expect me to be condescending the next time.

274

So you're going to give me the benefit of the doubt that helps in my favor too.

275

Exactly.

276

281

And if this is helpful for you, make sure that you like and subscribe.

282

We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.

283

All right, Aubrey, what's the fifth?

284

All right, number five is it's not that big of a deal or it's no big deal.

285

Dismissive.

286

Yeah, let's not do this, right?

287

For example, it's been three months since I got laid off

288

and I'm starting to stress out oh it's not

289

that big of a deal you'll find something else yeah again totally dismissing the person's situation, their stress.

290

right exactly right and that's not what someone needs to hear

291

because especially if it is a big deal to them right to dismiss it with that's not

292

that big of a deal feels really um like you just

293

really don't care about their situation at all yeah is this

294

ever a good thing to say Aubrey would you would you say

295

or should we always stay away from you know I every now

296

and then do say this to my children who are making a really big deal about something

297

and they are creating more anxiety so then, but I don't know if I phrase it exactly that way.

298

It would be more like, I probably would say something like, okay, let's step back and think about like trying to give them some perspective.

299

And I don't know if I would just be like, this is not a big deal.

300

Why are you making a big deal about this?

301

Right, right, right, right.

302

Yeah, that's true.

303

I don't know if we should ever say this.

304

It's all about the words.

305

It's all about the words.

306

All right.

307

You wouldn't understand

308

or you wouldn't get it oh again this is putting someone in a box yeah um right

309

so let's do a role play okay my brother

310

and i got in a huge fight and aren't speaking i'm sorry to hear

311

that well you wouldn't understand you've never fought like this with your brother

312

yeah don't say that that's bad that's blatantly that's probably the worst of all i agree

313

and i i agree this is another one of those i don't know

314

if there's ever a time where you would say this

315

because whoever maybe it's true that they can't really understand

316

but they're trying to sympathize they're trying to feel empathy even

317

if they haven't been in that exact situation

318

and to totally discount their attempts at feeling

319

that sympathy is really cruel that's exactly what i was just going to say aubrey

320

there's never a time we've talked about maybe with some of these

321

there's another time another context another scenario not with this one

322

it's a really rude way to phrase things you wouldn't understand

323

or you wouldn't get it you're implying that they're not emotionally intelligent enough to understand an experience that they haven't been through.

324

And people do, people work to, to build that emotional intelligence, that empathy, that even if they haven't been through exactly that,

325

that they can still feel for you and care about your feelings.

326

Completely.

327

Especially if they're reaching out, they're trying to help you, right?

328

Don't, don't, don't bite them.

329

Don't turn around and bite them that way.

330

Right.

331

Exactly.

332

Okay.

333

Let's do a role where we have a few of these.

334

I'm sure how they might come up in a conversation.

335

And here I have just gone on a date and I'm telling you how it went.

336

So this is maybe us 30 years ago.

337

20 years ago.

338

20 years ago.

339

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

340

Perfect.

341

Let's do it.

342

I went on a date last night and I think I really like him.

343

Oh, let me start again.

344

Oh, how cute.

345

Tell me everything.

346

Well, we talked for three hours and I think we really connected.

347

Well actually you said that about the last guy too and you remember how that turned out.

348

I know but this feels different.

349

Okay well you're trying your best.

350

Maybe you're just getting a little carried away.

351

I don't think so.

352

I think it might work out this time.

353

Well if it doesn't it's not that big of a deal.

354

You'll meet someone else.

355

Don't tell me that.

356

I'm so sick of dating.

357

You wouldn't understand.

358

You've been married for ages and he's really great.

359

He might be the one.

360

Bless your heart.

361

You're already planning your wedding, aren't you?

362

I love this.

363

Oh my gosh.

364

Oh wow.

365

This is pretty bad.

366

We cannot be friends.

367

I know, right?

368

After this, the friendship might be over.

369

Yeah, it might be over.

370

I think I would blatantly end a friendship probably with someone if they were that rude.

371

I don't know if we would have been friends in the first place

372

if we were the type to use phrases like this.

373

Maybe you're like a distant aunt or something you know

374

so let's go through these the first one you said is oh how cute

375

and like this maybe could work if you're

376

if this is in your personality if someone's like i want a date

377

and you're like oh how cute but it also could be really condescending

378

if someone's like i went on a date

379

i'm excited to say oh how cute sort of um trivializes

380

it right it makes it seem like it's for babies yeah

381

if exactly i think i think the problem is the packaging here the whole the how

382

and the q oh how cute right it's very condescending

383

if you want to say this you're excited about your friend you know you see

384

that they're all um they're all excited

385

and they're you know they're really high on the event maybe say oh you look

386

so cute right now it's so exciting that you met someone you like

387

that could be okay right i would just be like that's awesome that's exciting, right?

388

Oh, how cute.

389

Just because it's so, it can easily sound condescending.

390

I would avoid it if you're talking about anything but like babies and puppies, things that are really cute.

391

Babies and puppies.

392

Stick to babies and puppies.

393

I think you're right.

394

That's really safe.

395

Right.

396

And then you said, I was like, oh, we talked for three hours.

397

We're really connected.

398

And you say, well, actually you said that about the last time.

399

So you're really taking the window out of my sails with this phrase.

400

Well, actually you're sort of correcting me and bringing me back to reality

401

and you could see how a friend would do this if they're like okay, let's calm down.

402

You've said that about every guy you've ever dated, but how cruel to do that.

403

If someone's excited about a date, let them be excited.

404

Yeah.

405

It's just straight up mean, right?

406

It's just, you want, let them have that excitement, that optimism, not knowing what's going to happen.

407

It's exciting.

408

Right.

409

Yeah.

410

Um, and then you said, I know, but this feels different.

411

And I said, okay, well you're trying your best.

412

Yeah.

413

You're like, cause you really feel like i'm getting excited before i should right you're like you

414

and you say

415

that you say you're getting a little i think

416

you might be getting carried away like you're trying to get me to manage my expectations

417

because i've clearly come

418

and told you about lots of guys i was excited about it didn't work out

419

but the phrases that you're using yeah are kind of condescending critical

420

right well you're trying your best exactly good job putting yourself out there

421

right very condescending and then you said i don't think so i think it might work out this time

422

And you said, or I said, well, if it doesn't, it's not that big of a deal.

423

Yeah.

424

This is terrible.

425

It doesn't matter anyways.

426

Especially if someone's been dating forever and they're so sick of the apps or whatever to tell them like,

427

oh, it's not a big deal if it doesn't work out.

428

It would be really terrible to hear.

429

No. Yeah.

430

Really bad.

431

You don't want, none of this is good.

432

And then you said, don't tell me that.

433

I'm so sick of dating.

434

You wouldn't understand.

435

Now you're going to bite me back.

436

Right?

437

Yeah.

438

I'm getting frustrated.

439

I'm like, you wouldn't understand how hard it is to be still dating, especially if you've been married for ages, right?

440

Yeah, this is exciting.

441

And then you said, bless your heart.

442

Those first ones we shared are, I think, the worst here.

443

Bless your heart.

444

I don't know that this could ever not be condescending.

445

I don't think so.

446

Yeah, guys.

447

All right.

448

So for a takeaway, I mean, this has been a great episode, Aubrey.

449

I'm glad we're able to grab these phrases from the Huff post, this article.

450

Again, guys, go check out the original article.

451

It's by Celeste Headley.

452

As we said, we need to talk how to have conversations that matter, right?

453

Don't be condescending.

454

That's kind of our message for connection.

455

Condescension does not lead to connection, right?

456

Yes, exactly.

457

And I think the two, I was kind of looking over the phrases.

458

I think we kind of mentioned this, but I don't know if I would ever say to someone,

459

it's not that big of a deal about anything they've shared that they do think is a big deal.

460

And also you wouldn't understand.

461

Those are two that I just don't know that there's ever a good time to say that.

462

Yeah, there's never a good time.

463

So just be aware of what you're saying, what the impact is that it's having.

464

Maybe observe people around you if you're not quite sure.

465

Observe when other people use those phrases, how people react, but always go for that connection moment.

466

Always go for that positive connection.

467

All right.

468

We don't want to hurt people for sure.

469

Yes.

470

Awesome.

471

Thanks for talking about this today, Lindsay.

472

I agree.

473

This is such an important connection moment to avoid accidentally being condescending.

474

That can really hurt a relationship.

475

That could be a deal breaker for a friendship.

476

Huge.

477

Absolutely.

478

All right, Aubrey, I'll talk to you very soon.

479

Have a good day.

480

Awesome.

481

See you next time.

482

Bye.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
शर्त वाले वाक्य if + उपवाक्य, will/would + क्रिया — शर्त और उसका नतीजा	if you're a guy would you · If you just say like, oh, I'll be
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है	have been · have gotten · you've said
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	was inspired · be considered · is demanded
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	someone who feels · person who says · children who are

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 202 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे you're, don't, I'm। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

“th” की ध्वनियाँ: empathy /ˈɛmpəθi/, beneath /bɪˈniːθ/, sympathy /ˈsɪm.pəθ.i/
“sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: friendship /ˈfɹɛn(d)ʃɪp/, gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, reputation /ˌɹɛpjʊˈteɪʃən/, intention /ɪnˈtɛnʃn̩/, politician /ˌpɑ.ləˈtɪʃ.ən/
लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: superiority /sʊˌpɪə(ɹ).iˈɒ.ɹɪ.ti/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, reputation /ˌɹɛpjʊˈteɪʃən/, superior /sʊˈpɪɹ.i.ɚ/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

/v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: dive /daɪv/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/, verb /vɝb/, solve /sɒlv/, whoever /huˈɛvɚ/
/z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, resume /ˈɹɛz.ə.meɪ/
/æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, panic /ˈpænɪk/

0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
