Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Jiayin and hello, it's me, Neil.
So, Jiayin, what do you think?
What do I think of what?
My outfit.
I'm off to a party soon, so I thought I'd dress up a bit.
Neil, if you don't mind me saying, you need to zhuzh up your outfit.
Excuse me, did you just sneeze?
No, Neil, I said juge.
Bless you.
No.
This verb is an informal word to mean make something more interesting or attractive by changing it slightly.
It's often followed by the word up.
So I'm just saying your outfit needs a slight improvement if you really want to make an impression.
Ah, really?
Shall we see if we can zhuzh up these examples first?
I've tried to zhuzh up my living room with some bright yellow cushions.
Try zhuzzing up your suit with a coloured tie.
