Make Sentence Thu Aug 05, 2004 7:39 am  Make Sentence
 

Hello Everybody,
Good Day,


Could you make sentence or explain the meaning of:-

(Hush Hush; Hustle & Bustle; Head above Water)

These common idioms of everyday language.

Waiting..

Hush hush, hustle and bustle, head above water Thu Aug 05, 2004 16:39 pm  Hush hush, hustle and bustle, head above water
 

Hi Hadeel,

Hush hush is a sercet or clandestine action.

Hustle & Bustle means that there is a lot of hectic activity.

When you keep your head above water you stay alive, you don't drown. For example, in business this can mean that your company is just making enough money to pay all bills.

Let me know if this makes any sense and maybe, we can use all three idioms in one sentence...

Going for the single sentence Fri Aug 06, 2004 15:14 pm  Going for the single sentence
 

I'll just give it a shot:

"When my agency carried out the hush-hush plan to cause some hustle and bustle on the stock market, I seized my chance and thus was able to buy some stocks that kept my head above water," she said when she was prompted to explain her unexpected success in business.

Nothing more I could think of...you know it's Friday... Very Happy

Bye

Hello Torsten & Mistarix,

Many thanks for your obvious explaination for the phrases I sent. Through this forum, I've realized that Germany people are very familiar with English Language.

Hi Hadeel,

Since English is not a very hard language to learn (that's at least what I think) and kids in Germany have to have a second language at school, which in most cases is English, it's not too hard to meet people in Germany who are able to speak at least some words in English. For myself, I have spent a high school year in Mobile, Albama in the US when I was in 11th grade.

I really appreciate communicating through this forum, since it's hardly possible to talk to people from so many different countries in such a short time. Thank you Alan and Torsten for making this possible!
