Phrase | manners |
Text | The word "manners," in this podcast, means the way that one behaves around other people: "If you interrupt other people's conversations, they will think that you have bad manners." "To have good manners" means to be polite, and "to have bad manners" means to be rude. If someone says, "Mind your manners!" it means that you should pay attention to how you are acting, because you need to be more polite. This is something parents may say to their children. The word "manner" also means the way that someone does something: "A good teacher should have a relaxed manner when speaking with his or her students."
