Business English: Fudbalski izrazi u poslovnoj komunikaciji

-


     Reči skoro nikada nisu jednoznačne, sa njima se može igrati i mogu im se pridavati nova značenja, što obične govornike podiže na nivo umetnika, koji na osnovu svojih asocijacija stvaraju potpuno nove fraze i daju rečima značenje koje one do tada nisu imale. Kada je reč o poslovnoj komunikaciji, većina nas zamišlja štur i ograničen rečnik, ali ljudi u poslovnom svetu, posebno u velikim korporacijama, često budu toliko opterećeni poslom, da im inovacije u jeziku često pružaju mogućnost da se poigraju i na tren rasterete posla. Fraze često dolaze iz oblasti života koje upravo smatramo opuštenim, kao što je na primer fudbal!
     Tako se i na engleskom nekoliizraza iz fudbala, prenosi na poslovnu komunikaciju.

 Kick an idea:

 Pažljivo analizirati neke stvari sa kolegama.
                                                                                            
 I would like to kick some ideas in this meeting.

 Comes out of left field:

 Izraz koji se koristi kada nas nešto iznenadi.

 I can't believe it! It totally came out of the left field!

 Play safe:

 Ići na sigurno, ne rizikovati.

 Please inform us all before you do that, play safe. 

 Sitting on the sidelines:

 Posmatrati sa strane šta se dešava, radije nego da se uradi nešto. Situacija kada nismo preterano preduzimljivi. 

 My friend always stands on the sidelines, and never volunteers to lead a project.

 In the same league:

 Na istom nivou, uporedivo.

 We can compete with that company, we're in the same league.
We're such a small company, we're not in the same league as our competitors.

Business English: Expressing opinions in English

-
Tensed atmosphere in the meeting, disagreements, sounds familiar? So what to do if boss asks you to give your own opinion about that matter, at that moment? Expressing opinion in business is different  now, than it used to be ten to fifteen years ago. Now, everything is less formal, but that's exactly where you can make some mistakes. To me, it's like when somebody asks you to dress nice casual. Even though everything is so informal, there are some rules we should stick to.  Depending on a situation, sometimes we should say directly what we think, and sometimes we should be more careful, and express carefully what we want.  Also, there are some differences about how to express in front of many people in the meeting, or when we are in the meeting with only one coworker. When there is a group of people in the meeting, we should stick to a formal style in order to avoid the risk of being misunderstood, which is easy to fix when we are in one to one meeting, when we can...
