Welcome to the English we speak with.
Me, Neil and me Fei Fei.
We have an expression which means say a person or things name to praise or thank them publicly.
It's shout out.
Shout out.
What's the context, Anil?
Well, I've had a really tough year,
but I want to give a shout out to my parents for all the support they've given me with my new home.
It means I'm praising them publicly.
That's a great example of a shout out.
It's a way of saying thank you to someone.
Your parents deserve your thanks for being amazing when they helped you decorate your house.
Last week,
I called up my local radio station to give a shout out to the people in my area who helped me repair my garden fence.
Yes, I know.
Your fence got damaged in the storm.
Did your neighbors help you with it?
Yes, which is why I gave them a shout out.
Let's hear some more examples.
My teacher gave me a shout out in the classroom because I got a high mark in the exam.
