Hi, I'm Hannah. And welcome to Don't Say It, the podcast that helps you work on the finer details of the English language. Today we are discussing the French word blesser and tobless. Bless can be translated into two words hurt, as in I feel pain. There may or may not be physical evidence of that. Pain _______ or wounded, which refers to deeper, more dangerous damage, most typically used to describe the damage inflicted on soldiers at war, but also on the deep feelings of rappers and famous people. Being hurt would more likely be used to replace the idea of a bobo , as we say in French, or a bruise. In English, we say, I hurt myself. Ouch. One can also have hurt feelings, meaning that something you said has made someone feel sad. For example, if you tell my cat you're overweight and you smell bad, he will look at you and express hurt feelings in his eyes. A wound definitely requires attention. It's quite urgent. It requires as either medical attention or you are going to need to see a therapist after a breakup. If you describe your heart as wounded, I would definitely suggest you call a professional. I once broke up with someone and didn't call a professional, and that's how I ended up in France. So you have been warned. After the break, I will show you how to use the word bless in its correct form. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Why do English speakers say bless you? People used to believe a sneeze caused their soul to exit their body, and so God bless you. Or bless you was used as a protection against the devil taking your soul. Bless you. That being said, you're most likely to hear the word blessed in a church. A pastor or priest blesses a congregation. Usually at the end of a religious ceremony, the priest will give a benediction. To bless someone is to sanctify or make something holy. So if you bless a marriage, for example, god's presence and goodwill is supposed to permeate that marriage. It's more holy version of wishing someone good luck. Many ladies on Instagram take photos of their breakfast and their feet up and add the comment hashtag blessed. I suppose I sound a little cynical. I do think it is nice to celebrate being happy in your life. Happiness is very precious. Perhaps #blessed annoys me because it implies that God chose to make you happy and give you muffins and kittens for breakfast. And I prefer to celebrate that I got this brioche and my obese cat all on my own, thank you very much. It's common in New Zealand to ask a Maori minister or priest to bless a new home with karakia or prayer. You can bless treasures, people, spaces. It is to cleanse, to honor, and to protect. Growing up in New Zealand, I also knew a lot of mums who would bless their children when saying goodnight. I thought that was sweet. This benediction is just a little prayer to wish safety and peace on a sleeping bubba. I'm not religious, but I always did like this blessing, so I will end the podcast with it. Thank you for listening and I'll see you soon. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May he make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his confidence upon you and give you peace.
