If you are looking for an interesting quote or just a beautiful phrase, then this article is just for you. From it you will learn famous movie quotes, useful colloquial expressions and just beautiful phrases in English (with translation).

About love

This feeling inspires artists, musicians, poets, writers, directors and other representatives of the creative world. How many wonderful works are dedicated to love! For centuries, people have tried to find the most accurate formulations that would reflect the essence of this spiritualizing feeling. There are poetic, philosophical and even humorous phrases. A lot has been written and said about love in English, let’s try to collect the most interesting examples.

Love is blind. - Love is blind.

It is difficult to argue with this statement, but there is another that can better clarify the idea expressed.

Love isn’t blind, it just sees what matters. - Love is not blind, it only sees what is really important.

The next aphorism continues the same theme. It is originally in French, but is presented here in English. These beautiful and precise words belong to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. - Only the heart is vigilant. You can't see the main thing with your eyes.

Other beautiful saying characterizes not only the feeling itself, but also loving people.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. - To fall in love does not mean to find, but to learn to accept the imperfect.

And finally, let’s give a humorous one. However, it contains a rather serious meaning.

Love me, love my dog (literal translation: if you love me, love my dog too). - If you love me, then you will love everything connected with me.

Movie buffs

People who love watching films will certainly be interested in quotes from popular American films of different times. There are interesting and even very beautiful phrases there. In English with translation you can find a list of the hundred most famous movie quotes. It was compiled by leading American critics 10 years ago. The first place in it is occupied by the words spoken in the scene of the breakup of the main characters of the film “Gone with the Wind”: Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. “Honestly, my dear, I don’t care.”

The list also includes many other recognizable quotes from classic films. Some of these films are quite old, filmed in the mid-twentieth century. Phrases from them are now usually used in a humorous capacity.

No less popular are quotes from other famous American films made relatively recently, from the 80s to the 2000s. Those of them that were especially loved by the audience became sources of wonderful quotes.

To better understand humor in a foreign language, it is good to know at least some famous quotes from film classics, since they are familiar to the English-speaking population of the world in the same way that residents of the CIS are familiar with phrases from Soviet films.

For tattoos

What phrases can you use? For example, summarizing life experience. This tattoo is suitable for a person who has recently experienced a difficult situation, but managed to learn a lesson from his troubles.

You can also get tattoos of words that will inspire you. By applying such a pattern to your skin, you will, as it were, “recharge” with the energy that words that are important to you carry.

When choosing a tattoo with an inscription, it is important to find one that you want to wear on your skin always. The good thing about the English language is that you can choose a saying that will contain a minimum of letters and words, but a maximum of meaning. For a text tattoo, this is the perfect formula.

On a T-shirt

The inscriptions on clothes look very interesting. You can pick up something suitable in the store, but if you want real originality, then it is better to choose a personal motto for yourself, and then order such an inscription on a T-shirt. Beautiful phrases in English are well suited for this purpose. Choose any one or come up with your own, and sample options are presented below.

Music is my language (Music is my language).
I always get what I want (I always get what I want).
Forever young (Forever young).
Follow your heart (Follow your heart).
Now or never (Now or never).
Don’t judge me by my clothes (Don’t judge me by my clothes, don’t meet me by my clothes).
I love chocolate (I love chocolate). Instead of chocolate there can be any other words: music - music, tea - tea, etc.

To status

For social networks, you can also use beautiful phrases in English. You don’t have to place them together with the translation: those who know the language will understand this way, and those who don’t know can ask you. This question may well begin acquaintance and communication. Which of English phrases good for status from a social network? First of all, those that will reflect the current attitude of the owner or hostess of the page. In the list below you will find phrases with both life-affirming meaning and those suitable for a bad mood.

Communication

If you are learning English, you have the opportunity to practice your skills through communication in special chats, forums, and also on social networks. To make the conversation flow easier and more naturally, it is useful to remember at least a few. You can always have a list on hand and read it periodically.

Useful conversational phrases in English can vary - from the simplest, accepted in informal and friendly communication, to ornate polite formulas that are good to use in a conversation with a stranger or unfamiliar person.

Below are examples of some colloquial clichés. The first group consists of those that allow you to thank your interlocutor or respond to gratitude.

Another group is phrases that allow you to calm and support a person during a conversation.

The following selection of expressions can be used to express polite refusal or agreement with the proposal (invitation) of a communication partner.

And the last small list of phrases allows you to ask your interlocutor questions to clarify a particular situation, find out the latest news, etc.

This article presented well-known, useful and simply beautiful phrases in English with translation. They will help you better understand humor, express your thoughts and enjoy communication in a foreign language.

A beautiful company name can attract attention and stand out among competitors. Especially at the initial stage of entering the market. Therefore, businessmen pay great attention to the name of their brainchild. After all, it is known: whatever you name the yacht, that’s how it will float.

Although there are now many companies offering naming and branding services, I still think that it is quite possible to come up with effective and bright names. It’s enough to turn on your imagination and connect your immediate environment. Many names of famous brands originated in this unprosaic way.

For example, the legendary name Apple is not the work of highly paid brand makers, but the result of the “threat” of Steve Jobs. He threatened that if by a certain time he was not given an acceptable name, then he would call the company Apple (Apple). And so it happened.

Brevity is the sister of talent, and this statement applies when choosing a company name. The shorter the better, and this can be seen in the example of IKEA IK are the initials of the company’s founder, EA is the abbreviated name of the Elmtarid farm in the village of Agunnarid, where Ingvar Kamprad was born and raised.

Using the name of your hometown in a brand is also a fairly common way. For example: Nokia is the name of the Finnish village where the company was founded.

There are many examples of successful names, but I would like to suggest creating your own top list of the most beautiful company names. Perhaps this will be useful to someone and give them an idea when choosing a name for their company.

I made a selection of the top 30 company names in Russian and English for various fields of activity, focusing on my taste.

What is the most beautiful name for a company that you can suggest? What should you consider and what should you pay attention to when choosing a name?

Reviews and statements

Well, it seems to me. what is most important is that the company name is memorable, less text is not needed long titles With complicated words so that people remember the company for a long time and the first time. Just like, a window installation company, I came across it on the Internet when I was doing assignments, the company is called OKONIKA, easy to remember, cute name.

It seems to me that the most beautiful company name in English is Google, few people know, but it is a number, one and 100 zeros. Perhaps Google predicted the successful existence of the company with this name; soon there will be Google searches on Google all over the world :) In general, I like English names more than Russian ones.

I agree, it’s a cool name, it’s somehow parallel to me, whether it’s a Russian or an English name, the main thing is that it carries meaning and is easy to remember. Here are some not bad names for asphalt plants, DorLider, and Basalt.

This is a fun name for the company. What kind of counter is this :)?

Varan said about Google, but I think the most beautiful company name, both Russian and English, is Yandex, I think it sounds beautiful and impressive, and the meaning is also there.

Alex, inspired by the news that the Kalashnikov plant is ready to pay 40 million rubles for the creation of a website. A large amount that is difficult to get out of your head. But in my head it plays like “rollback”, “rollback”...hence the name for the company “OtkatKontora” :) It’s a logical process, however.

I think when choosing a name for a company, you need to somehow indicate the field of activity in which this company operates.
I really liked the name "BrocCo" (brokerage company)

The name is beautiful, but in my opinion it is suitable not for a brokerage company, but for some kind of dessert :)

Name your company by your first or last name. This will be the best, as your clients will immediately remember you and the attitude will be respectful. Just as there used to be companies like Smirnoff or Ivanov and Sons.

Maybe a middle name? Nikolaich 🙂
the surname is somehow very traditional: Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Meryl Lynch, Berrings, Barclays - the “s” at the end of the word - plural
but the names with the name of the country sound more global: “Bank of America”, “Credit Suisse”, “Royal Bank of Scotland”, “People’s Bank of China”

I really like it when the name feels lexical originality. When I used to live in another area, there was a dental office called “Dentist and Me.” I always paid attention and looked at this sign. I also like the name of the YouTube service (the name plays on the slang boob tube “telly”, “box”, and you indicates the degree of personal factor).

Shorten it to the point of euphony or take a couple of letters out of the name, like Poroshenko’s. I for a long time and I didn’t know that the candies were named after his last name, I thought it was some kind of French company. There’s nothing wrong with my last name, I got it from my husband and it’s a beautiful one. I called my company “Swan”

It always infuriates me more, and this very often manifests itself in the names of stores, especially grocery stores, when they take names. It’s as if people’s imagination doesn’t work at all, and they came up with the name in the first two minutes. I have a very positive attitude towards short names that carry a lot of meaning, this is a truly professional approach.

There was also a case, by the way, I saw a kiosk with diminutive suffixes (beer, hot dogs, etc.), also cheerful and interesting idea. Those. use a comic component to attract customers.

I can’t help but agree with Helen, the traditions of old merchant houses were and still are... . The proposed list contains just a selection of the ugliest names. The owners want, first of all, to reflect what their company specifically does. But I like more mediated titles. where originality is combined with purpose. For example, Firefox.

When I dreamed of my own cafe, and a children’s cafe at that, I wanted to call it Peter Pan. Now I’m thinking about the name of the pizzeria, I decided to name it Pizza-Vera in honor of my sister, it turned out it was already taken.

Well, this is just your opinion, in my opinion, several of the company names presented in the first post are beautiful and memorable. And I don’t think that a company should have the most beautiful name, it should be original and memorable, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s in Russian or English.

For example, “Prorabych”, it may not be the most beautiful for the company, but it is sonorous, original and memorable. It will immediately stick in your head and be remembered. When choosing names for a company, first of all you need to think not about beauty, but about simplicity, this is, of course, just my opinion. And if you just pay attention to beauty, then I like English brands more.

Yes. Alex, there is also Mobilych. And so on... But why attack English names so much? But here you are also right... Not everyone speaks English. And for them these words mean nothing. Regarding Google, I think you should ask exact value this word. I haven't been interested in this yet.

The way you speak and the words you choose can reveal a lot about your education, status, mood and attitude towards the person you are talking to or the situation. Many people use language to sound “cool.” For example, when I was in the USA, I wanted to sound like American teenagers. Even this eternal “like” through every word could not break my firm intention to speak like them. And now I use all sorts of colloquial words so as not to sound dry, but, on the contrary, funny and even funny. Of course, the choice of words depends on the situation. In an official setting, such words would be, to put it mildly, out of place. But when you are surrounded by friends, why be neutral? Language has many means to defuse the atmosphere, not just to convey your thought, but to present it in a special way, with a certain emotional overtones. I have already given a selection of modern English. If you want to seem cool, show off and impress your fellow dude, I offer you the following words and expressions.

What's up- A chic alternative to the boring “How are you?” Regarding pronunciation and even spelling, there are several options: What’s up / What up / Wassup / Wazzup / Wazza / Sup

A few more conversational “How are you?”

How do you do?(Remember Joey from Friends)

How's it hanging?

How's it going?

Que pasa?

What's cracking?

Spare me the bullshit- Stop talking nonsense

- I didn’t sleep with your sister, Mary, I promise!

- Oh, spare me the bullshit, I saw you two yesterday enter the hotel at night.

(Yes, I didn’t sleep with your sister, Mary, honestly! - Stop pouring in. I saw you come into the hotel last night)

Cut the crap- Let's not make long speeches (you are trying to stop the long and often empty stream of speech of your interlocutor and force him to get to the point)

- Cut the crap, I don’t have time. (Let's, less words, more to do. I have no time)

Everyone knows the words cool / awesome meaning “cool, cool.” Instead you can say:

wicked- steep: This car is wicked! (This car is cool) In American English, “wicked” means “very”: That car is wicked cool - This car is very cool.

sick- cool, cool: Man, that song is so sick! (Dude, this song is so awesome)

badass- steep: I have a bad-ass car with a kickin sound system and bitchin rims. (I have a cool car with a chic system and awesome wheels)

dope- steep: That movie was dope! (That movie was cool) This is dope! (Cool!)

Sweet!- oh, gorgeous!

- Oh, sweet!

(Here, I bought you a ticket to Sunday's game. - Oh, great!)

Very popular calls like “ Dude”:

Hey what's up dude? (Hi dude)

That dude crashed into my car. (This dude crashed into my car)

Dude is good, but it can be replaced with other equally colorful words:

Brotha That's right, brotha. (Exactly, brother)

With the increased popularity of the appeal “ bro” the number of variations on the same theme has increased; that is, instead of the laconic bro, you can say broseph / broski / broseidon(my favorite) /broheim/brohan/broham

Homeboy/Homie- appeal to to a close friend: wazup homie!! how's it going!!

Compadre

K man= Ok, man. Expression of consent. Man can be replaced with another address.

- I think we need to buy more cookies.

- K man.

(I think I need to buy some cookies. - Okay)

Do you get me?- You understand me?

Take it easy- relax, don't worry

Keep it real- Be yourself, be simpler. Often used when saying goodbye, sort of like a wish to remain yourself and be true to your principles.

Later bro, keep it real!

Later.- See you later. Short for “See you later.” Agree, why unnecessary things when you can say everything so simply?

hella(= very) - very

I am hella tired tonight! (I'm very tired today)

LA is hella far away. (Los Angeles is very far from here)

You"re hella dumb. (You are very dumb)

Question word + the hell / in the world+ the rest - What the hell, to hell, pst. The hell/in the world is simply placed after the question word. They are needed for emotional coloring.

How the hell did you do that? - Pppt, how did you do that?

Who the hell do you think you are? - Who the hell do you think you are?

What in the world did I say wrong? - What did I say wrong?

What the hell? - What the? What the heck?

for shizzle- Certainly! undoubtedly. Variations: for sho / fo shizzle / 4shiz / for sheezy

- Wanna go eat?

- Forshizzle.

(Do you want to go eat? - Kaesh)

coz- because (short for because, which is obvious)

I would totally go out with her coz she’s hot! (I would definitely hook up with her because she is very beautiful)

Innit?- is not it?

Cool, innit. (Cool isn't it?)

Overused in London slang, replacing “really?” or used as “I agree”.

Dafaq- Which one? (short for “What the fuck?!”)
