Hello Michael! I’m super excited to see you launching this new section full of great expressions. I have a question regarding “We’re in the same boat.” Why does ‘on’ not work in this case?
Hi!
I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying the new series. As is the case with idiomatic expressions in Korean as well, changing one small word can make the entire phrase sound unnatural. In certain instances it is okay to say “I’m on a boat,” but in this particular expression “in” is always used.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for leaving a comment.

awsome~~~~lol
마이클 선생님~ 안녕하세요^^
작년 가을에 팟캐스트랑 이 사이트 알게 되서
엄청난 도움을 받고 있는 학생이에요ㅋㅋ
늘 감사합니당.ㅎㅎ
질문이 있는데,
what’s with you? 이 표현이랑 what’s got into you? 이거랑 비슷한 건가요?
그리고 국제뉴스편에서 브루스씨가 I’m right there with you. 라고 말씀하신 거 같은데
제가 이해하기론 동의하는 듯한 뉘앙스였는데 맞나요?
HI, and thanks for listening to the show!
Yes, “What’s with you?” and “What’s gotten into you?” are basically the same.
“I’m right there with you,” most likely means “I completely agree,” but I don’t really remember the context in which it was said.
Thanks for stopping by!
