| [00:00.00] | Hello, I'm Jen, and with me in the studio today is Helen. |
| [00:04.65] | Hi. Now, Helen, just before we get started, did you get the chance to go to the farmers' market for me? |
| [00:10.71] | I didn't have time to go myself. |
| [00:12.23] | I did, I chose some things I thought you'd like. |
| [00:15.64] | Here we are. |
| [00:17.59] | I bought some fresh apples, some crunchy carrots, a load of onions, a loaf of fresh bread and a jar of delicious honey. |
| [00:24.63] | Brilliant, thanks so much for doing that for me, I can't wait to try it. |
| [00:29.19] | So what's the damage? |
| [00:31.46] | Damage? |
| [00:32.87] | I don't think there's any damage really. |
| [00:35.51] | Although I suppose one of the apples is a little bit bruised and I nibbled the end of one of the carrots but it'll be fine if you just cut it a little bit. |
| [00:44.34] | I don't mean damage to the food. |
| [00:46.35] | The phrase "what's the damage?" can be used to ask how much money you owe someone for something. |
| [00:51.19] | So you wanted to find out how much you owe me for the food? |
| [00:54.60] | That's right. |
| [00:55.87] | Let's hear a couple of examples of the phrase in use. |
| [00:58.78] | What a lovely meal, I think we should split the bill two ways though, so what's the damage? |
| [01:04.37] | Thanks so much for fixing the brakes on my car. |
| [01:08.04] | What's the damage for the work you've done? |
| [01:10.74] | So you could say "what's the damage?" in a restaurant or a cafe? |
| [01:14.69] | That's right; |
| [01:15.83] | you might use the phrase amongst friends when you get a bill, or you might hear it if you are paying a workman to do something. |
| [01:22.18] | Generally we use it when we don't know how much something is going to cost or if the price has been estimated beforehand. |
| [01:29.05] | Like when I went to the market for you today. |
| [01:31.32] | Yeah, I didn't know how much it would cost so I asked you "what's the damage?" |
| [01:35.50] | So how much do I owe you? |
| [01:38.17] | ￡12.50. |
| [01:39.85] | ￡12.50? That's pretty expensive. |
| [01:42.84] | It's worth it when you look at the quality of the food. |
| [01:45.69] | It's very good. |
| [01:47.39] | Alright then, here you are, ￡12.50. |
| [01:52.20] | And here you are. |
| [01:54.37] | Let's have a look then, apples, yum. |
| [01:57.46] | Well, they do look a little more bruised than you mentioned. |
| [02:01.09] | Yes, sorry, I dropped the bag. |
| [02:03.37] | Look at the carrots. |
| [02:05.61] | You said you'd nibbled them, but there are only the tops of them left. |
| [02:08.98] | I can't cook with those. |
| [02:10.73] | I was peckish, sorry. |
| [02:12.42] | At least this jar of honey looks good, it's empty. |
| [02:14.87] | It looked so delicious that I couldn't help it. |
| [02:19.62] | Well, I think you should give me my money back. |
| [02:22.34] | I'm not paying for food that's already been eaten. |
| [02:24.71] | OK, what if we go out for a meal and I pay? |
| [02:28.27] | Hmm OK. I'm stuffed. |
| [02:36.04] | The apple and honey pie was really delicious. |
| [02:38.71] | Here's the waiter with the bill. |
| [02:40.99] | Now don't forget, this is my treat after eating all of your food. |
| [02:45.33] | Ooh, er. This is embarrassing. |
| [02:48.03] | Is it expensive? What's the damage? |
| [02:50.80] | It's ￡40 for the meal but I've just remembered. |
| [02:54.48] | What? I left my purse at the farmers' market. |
| [02:59.06] | Can you pay for us? |
| [03:00.68] | Argh! |
