| Phrase | to mind |
| Text | The verb "to mind," in this podcast, means to be bothered or annoyed by something or to not like something: "I don't mind the rain, but the cold temperatures are horrible!" The verb "to mind" can also be used to politely ask for someone's permission to do something: "Do you mind if I open the window?" "To not mind" means that one is willing to do something. For example, if someone says, "I don't mind waiting 20 minutes," it means that he or she is willing to wait for 20 minutes and it doesn't annoy them to do so. As a noun, the word "mind" can mean one's brain or one's ability to think: "The strangest thoughts were running through my mind all evening." Or, "He has a good mind and a good heart." |
