| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "meaning to" means wanting to or intending to: "I was meaning to file my taxes early this year, but I didn't." The phrase "What's the meaning of this?" is used when one wants to receive an explanation for something that has happened: "What's the meaning of this? How dare you sell my favorite chair without telling me!" The phrase "to get (someone's) meaning" means to understand someone's message, especially if he or she isn't saying it directly: "She dropped a lot of hints, but he never really got her meaning." Finally, the phrase "to know the meaning of (something)" means to truly understand something, usually because one has experienced it directly: "I never knew the meaning of true love until I met you." |
