0:05Hi everyone, let me know me a comment if you are ok.
0:08I hope you are ready
0:09for a new video in this short format format where we see an expression.
0:14The expression we will see today is: Il n'y a pas photo.
0:19First of all I'll explain what
0:21what this expression means, I'll give you a little context
0:24and explain to you where expression comes from.
0:26What is the origin of the expression "il n'y a pas photo".
0:30When we say that there is no photo, we mean that there is no debate.
0:34It's very clear. We have a choice to make.
0:36It's very clear. There is no photo.
0:38We know what we have to do or what we prefer. It's clear.
0:44There is no hesitation.
0:45Here are two contextualizations to explain to you explain so you can understand better
0:49the expression and that you can use it to use it yourself.
0:53For example, if I'm hesitating between two dresses, I'll ask a friend.
0:58Do you prefer the blue dress or the blue dress or the red dress?
1:02She can answer me. Il n'y a pas photo. Red suits you much better.
1:09There's no need to hesitate. Here is a second contextualization.
1:14For example, I can say between working for a multinational company or working
1:20in a small startup, there is no photo for me.
1:24I prefer to work in a small family team.
1:29There's no hesitation, it's very clear. I don't know if you heard,
1:35but in speech, often, instead of saying there is not, we say "there is not".
1:41It's a kind of contraction of the language, it's in the way of speaking.
1:44We'll delete the first part,
1:47"there is", and we'll just keep "there is no photo".
1:52So, of course, to speak
1:53correctly in the purest language, you have to say no way.
1:57But most people in speech will say "no contest".
2:02But where does this expression come from? This
2:04expression, in fact it comes comes from horse racing.
2:07So that the bettors are not
2:09upset because they were under the impression that it was that it was their horse that had to
2:13to win, the race organizers were already paying already paid photographers in those days
2:18to show clearly which horse which horse came first.
2:24Sometimes there was no at all, there was
2:26no debate at all and they were very far away, the horses.
2:29So we were saying Il n'y a pas photo.
2:33That's where this expression comes from. That's it for today.
