Today's episode is about phrasal verbs with up. So a few episodes ago, I talked about how to learn phrasal verbs more efficiently. And one of the strategies was to group them, but not by the main verb, instead by the particle. So instead of grouping phrasal verbs with get and go through a bunch of different verbs with super different meanings, let's try to find a common thread on hilo conductor and have the particle help you to remember what the phrasal verb means, if that makes sense.
I think you'll get it once we start. So let's go. You are listening to episode 123 of English with Dane. Hit it Okay, we have officially started the show, so let's talk about phrasal verbs with up. I've put together a short list of phrasal verbs with up that you have definitely come across, que te has encontrado, but we'll talk about two or three meanings for each one. But remember, don't feel pressured to learn all of them at once.
Just take what you can from this episode, listen to it again later, and make some notes, etc. Here we go. Number one, turn up. To turn up means to increase something. Turn up the music means to increase the volume of the music, right? Turn up the heat means to increase the temperature, etc. This one I'm sure most of you know by now. However, let's talk about a different meaning. To turn up as in aparecer.
If someone is looking for something, let's say they lost one of their Bluetooth headphones, for example, you can ask them, hey, did it turn up? As in Oye, apareció. We also use this phrasal verb to say somebody arrived. Guess who turned up late? Adivina quién llegó tarde. Guess who turned up late? This is similar to show up too. Can you believe they showed up together? Or can you believe they turned up together? Here's an example from The Godfather Part 2.
He says, Don't know what he's talking about, but the important part is cuando Apareció muerto. Check it out. So when I turned up dead, I let it go. Alright, here's the next phrasal verb with up. To give up. This one, again, I'm sure you've heard before, but people still have a hard time with it. The most common meaning is to surrender. So if you are in a competition and you think you can't win, and you want to stop competing, you give up the rinds.
The other meaning, which is the one I really want to talk about, is to stop doing something like a bad habit or an addiction. You give up smoking, for example. You give up junk food, comida basura, you give up gambling if you have a gambling problem, etc. Here's a clip from the Shawshank Redemption, one of the best movies of all time. To which he says no, because he gave it up. Check it out. Want a cold one, Andy? No thanks. Give up drinking. Alright, next phrasal verb. This one is to heat up.
Again, not a complicated phrasal verb, but one that I use every day, and that's what this is about. So heat as in calor o calentar. To heat up means exactly that, calentar. If you take food to work in a tupper, at lunchtime you heat up your food, or you heat it up, lo calienta. You can also use the phrasal verb to heat up to say that things are becoming more tense, active, or angry.
If a conversation starts heating up, it can mean that the participants of the conversation are starting to get aggressive. For our example, though, we're using the first meaning, calentarse. Here's a clip from The Incredibles when Edna is showing the mom their suits, sus trajes. Specifically the son's suit, you know, that kid who's really fast. Your boy's sort of design to withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out, a useful feature. To wear out means desgastarse, by the way.
So the suit can withstand, puede aguantar, can withstand enormous friction without heating up or wearing out. But today we're talking about phrasal verbs with up, so let's move on. The next phrasal verb is to make up. To make up means to invent something. To make up can also be used to say amistare se. So if you get into a fight with your wife, friend, girlfriend, co-worker, or whatever, afterwards you make up. You are no longer in a fight.
I'm not talking about a physical fight, by the way, I mean more like an argument. Although I'm assuming after a physical fight, you can also make up. The classic expression is to kiss and make up. Doesn't actually mean to kiss someone, it's just something we say. You accuse me twice, I quit. What a great movie. It's one of my favorites. Alright, that's it for this episode of English with Dane.
