Learn how to pronounce and use the British English expression, to whinge about something. Subtitles at 01:36 Visit the Britlish Library today:
Hello Britlish.
Hi Richard. How can I help you today?
Could you explain the meaning of the word, whinge?
Of course. The British informal expression, to whinge, means, to complain about something that seems trivial or unimportant, especially in an irritating or persistent way.
Could you provide me with an example?
Sure! Students who join the Britlish Library never whinge about how hard it is to learn English. With the Britlish Library learning English is so easy that there is nothing to whinge about.
I guess that means that students who use the Britlish Library never have anything to complain about.
Yes, that's right. There is so much material in the Britlish Library that you will never find whingeing students there.
And another example of the use of whinge?
Many students whinge about the price of English language learning material, but as they can pay what they want for a Britlish Library membership, students never whinge about the cost at Britlish.
Yes, I've never known a single student whinge about the cost of learning English at Britlish.
And you'll never hear students whingeing about the content of the Britlish Library, either, Richard. Why would anyone whinge about a huge library of high-quality English language learning material to which new lessons are being added every week?
You're right there, Britlish. In the Britlish Library there is nothing to whinge about.
I couldn't agree more, Richard.
