What do you say?
(どう?)
友達と一緒にご飯食べに行くんだけど、一緒にどう?という誘いのメールで。
- 多分この表現ってすごく昔に人にもらったメールで覚えたんだと思うんだけど…人をお誘いした時なんかに「どうする?どう思う?来る?」とか、相手の返事をうながす時に使える表現。いつもwhat do you thinkって書きかけて、あ、そうだ、what do you sayって言えるんだった、と気がついて直す。口頭だとまだぱっと出てこないかな。
- 英英の説明ではこんな感じ。used to ask someone if they agree with a suggestion/What is your answer or decision/used to make a suggestion or offer
- We could go into partnership - what do you say?
- What do you say we all go to a movie?
- What would you say to a meal out?
- I need an answer from you now. What do you say?
- I can offer you seven hundred dollars for your old car. What do you say?
- What do you say to a glass of wine?
