[Instructor] Hello grammarians.발음듣기

Today, we're gonna talk about the confusion that happens between these three homophones these three words that sound exactly the same.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The preposition to, the number two and the adverb too.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now these words all sound very similar.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In fact, they sound exactly the same.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

If I were to write this out phonetically here is what I would do.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's how you'd write it in the international phonetic alphabet for every pronunciation.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You say that word, too.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

If you were looking this up in a dictionary that's how you would render this spelling phonetically.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's the sound of those words.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

They all sound exactly the same.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So what we need to do is come up with a way to keep them all separate.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And the way I'm going to do that is with the prince of foods, the pizza.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Let's just call that a pizza.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now, to, T-O, is a preposition and so that means that it's expressing some kind of relationship in time and space.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In this case we can say one of its many, many meanings is that it means it's moving towards something.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So for example I am headed to Frank Cerisano's Pizzeria.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Right, so we can see in context this is intentional it's in motion and that's why we'd wanna use a preposition.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Where am I going~?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

To Frank Cerisano's Pizzeria.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Next, T-W-O, also pronounced too, you're welcome is a number.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's this thing so we'd use this mostly as an adjective to describe how many things there are.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So I would say, at the pizzeria I ordered two pizzas and ate them by myself.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Right, so when we're talking about the number of things you wanna use T-W-O.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And finally we have T-O-O, too, which is an adverb and they can either mean an over abundance of something or also.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Let me give you examples for both of those cases.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So example case number one, the excessive amount.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I ate too much pizza, I feel awful.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now some of you may take issue with that because you don't believe that there is such a thing as too much pizza, I understand.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So that's our excessive amount that's just mountains and mountains of pizza more than one person can or should reasonably eat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's that definition.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And then there is the in addition or also meaning so my sister wanted pizza too but because of my greed she did not get any, sorry Julie.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Oh, I made her cry.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So in order to keep these three very similar sounding words straight here's what you need to remember.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

To, T-O, is a preposition that means towards something.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I am headed to Frank Cerisano's Pizzeria.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

T-W-O, the number two, is a number so you'd say I ordered two pizzas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Finally, T-O-O the adverb means either there's an over abundance, there's too much or in addition, my sister wanted pizza too.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So grammarians, I say unto you, remember the pizza.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You can learn anything.발음듣기

David out.발음듣기
