Video Script

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of "Hello Word!", the podcast where we dive into the richness of the English language one word at a time. I’m Alex, your host, and I’m so glad you’re here today. Our word of the day is all right. This is an A2-level adverb that means "in a satisfactory manner or without problems." It’s a phrase that you probably hear often in conversations, and today, we’ll explore its meaning, usage, and some helpful examples to make it even easier to use. Let’s start with the definition. All right means that something is going well enough or that there are no significant issues. For example, if someone asks, "How was your exam?" you might say, "It went all right", meaning it went satisfactorily, not amazing, but good enough. Now let’s talk about some synonyms. Words like okay, fine, or adequate can be used in similar contexts. For instance, if a friend asks how your day was, you could reply, "It was fine", which carries the same idea as saying, "It was all right." Another example is, "The project turned out adequate", showing that it was satisfactory, but not exceptional. On the other hand, let’s look at a few antonyms. Words like terrible, poorly, or unsatisfactory highlight the opposite of all right. For example, instead of saying, "The performance went all right", you might say, "The performance went terribly" if it didn’t meet expectations. Another example could be, "The results were unsatisfactory", indicating they were far from satisfactory. In everyday life, you’ll hear all right used in all sorts of conversations. Someone might ask, "Is everything all right?" when they’re checking if there are any problems. Another common use is in phrases like, "I think it’s all right to leave now", which suggests that leaving now wouldn’t cause any issues. Here are a few more examples to make things clear. "I wasn’t sure about the new recipe, but it tasted all right." "The weather was all right today, not too hot, not too cold." "The instructions were a bit confusing, but I managed to follow them all right." To wrap things up, we’ve learned that all right means something is satisfactory or without problems. It has synonyms like okay, fine, and adequate, and antonyms like terrible, poorly, and unsatisfactory. It’s a handy expression you can use to describe many aspects of your day-to-day life.
