In the video, the speaker explains several advanced English expressions used in the film Encanto, specifically within the scene where Mirabel finds her long-los

t uncle, Bruno.

Here are the expressions discussed:

"I don't do...": This is used in informal English to mean "I don't engage in" or "I am not a part of" someth

ing, often framing it as a lifestyle choice or principle. Bruno uses this when he says, "I don't do visions anymore" [01:59].

"The weight of the world on one's

shoulders": This describes a state where a person feels personally responsible for all the problems around them, making it feel like a heavy burden to carry alo

ne [04:24].

"The end": Used informally to mean "Discussion over," indicating that a decision has been made and will not be changed [05:06]. The speaker notes th

at "period" is often used similarly in this context [05:17].

"What if...?": This introduces a hypothetical situation that has not happened yet but could. It is

used to express concerns, explore risks, or suggest ideas. Bruno uses it to ask, "What if I show you something worse?" [10:05].

"Weirdo": Describes someone who

behaves in a strange or unusual way. While it can be a mild insult, it is also used affectionately, as Mirabel does when referring to family members [10:54].

"G

et a bad rap": This means to have a negative, and often unfair or undeserved, reputation [11:32].

"Hang on": This phrasal verb is quite flexible and has several

meanings depending on the context:

"Physically hold on tight": Used when something is about to drop or shake, like on a rollercoaster [13:06].

"Wait a moment":

Used to ask someone to pause [13:25].

"Don't give up": Used as an emotional expression to encourage someone going through a tough time [13:35].

"Which way it g

oes": Used to ask how a situation will turn out, focusing on the final, often uncertain, outcome [15:56].

"Make amends": Means to make peace or to try and make

things better after a conflict [15:36].

"Embrace": Beyond the physical act of wrapping arms around someone, it has a figurative meaning: to fully accept and wel

come something, such as a challenge, an idea, a change, or a new way of life [18:21].
