We have a question that really provides a great example of this.<\/p>\n

\n

Hi Lindsay, thanks for answering.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep sending you questions, for sure! By the way, I have a question right now, so here it goes. I was watching a TV series and there was a conversation between a guy and his sister who was really sick, and then he said something like \u201cI hope you get better soon, I mean it\u201d. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I could understand this expression because of the Portuguese subtitles. It basically means that what he said was true, he really wanted his sister to be better soon, right? So, is there any other way to say this\u2013like any other variation? Is there another context on which we can use this expression? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019d be great if you could give some examples to help clarify this. Ihope you can answer this on the show.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Vanessa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s All About Intent and Sentiment<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you look at this example, it really all boils down to sincerity.<\/p>\n

When you think about it and look at it, \u201d I mean it\u201d is an expression which shows sincerity.<\/p>\n

This one phrase shows that you are being true and not kidding around\u2013 that you are serious. <\/p>\n

So the first and most common use for this phrase is to show sincerity or to really drive a point home.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Multiple Uses For This One Simple Phrase<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes this phrase can be used in a variety of different ways. <\/p>\n

Yes you tend to use it the most for sincerity and to really show somebody that you care or are passionate about what you are saying.<\/p>\n

It can be used in other ways though, and those are important to understand and recognize.<\/p>\n

For example, if someone thinks you are joking or if you are expressing a true emotion like anger. <\/p>\n
