Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions.

You and me every day, come on, let's master English.

Hello, everybody. Thank you very much for downloading daily easy English expression.

Today's podcast is brought to you by D.D.M. Daily Dictation members, today's expression is, I beg to differ. I beg to differ.

This is an excellent expression when you disagree with somebody else.

I beg, B-E-G, and B-E-G, oh, please, give me some money, please, give me some food.

I beg to differ, D-I-F-F-E-R.

So I beg to differ actually means, please let me tell you my different thoughts.

It means I disagree. So if you're talking with somebody and they say something that you don't agree with, if you say, I disagree.

That can actually make the listener feel bad.

Maybe that you are ignoring what they have to say or maybe you think they're ignorant or stupid.

But if you say, I beg to differ, it's much more polite.

So especially in a public negotiation, maybe in a business sales meeting if somebody says,

but your product is no good.

Oh, I beg to differ.

That's really the most polite way to disagree with somebody.

It's a great expression.

I beg to differ.

Let's check out the dialogue.

Oh, don't these ugs look good on me?

I beg to differ.

What?
