Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 26,
day four of Your English Five a Day, the second season.
This is the podcast that helps you to expand your vocabulary,
improve your listening skills and generally keep you company at the same time every day.
I release episodes at 7am UK time every day from Monday to Friday with an occasional bonus episode at the weekend.
So all you have to do is tune in.
So let's start today's episode, as we always do, with a snapshot.
Mila spotted a crumpled lottery ticket on the pavement and picked it up.
Curious.
When she looked at the numbers, she realised it was a winning ticket.
Her friend said, finders keepers, but Mila decided to look for the rightful owner instead.
She posted online to let people claim it, saying,
if you can prove it's yours, you deserve to win the lottery, not me.
Okay, let's do our deep dive.
Starting with the idiom finders.
keepers.
We spell this finders, f-i-n-d-e-r-s, keepers, k-e-e-p-e-r-s, finders, keepers.
This idiom is a saying that means if you find something, you can keep it.
It's like a rule, a magical rule that whoever finds something, suddenly they own it.
