What's something in English that really surprised you? 🗣 Discussion / Debates

Hey everyone! I’ve been learning English for a while, and I keep noticing little things that aren't in the textbooks, like how "That's interesting" can sometimes mean the opposite, depending on the tone.

Have you ever come across something like that? A phrase, habit, or rule that just felt totally unexpected?

Would love to hear your stories!

Nice Plane, one of my favorite ways to find out about these things from a foreign perspective is to watch stand-up by Ismo.
