Utterance
Context Matters
Understand the situation to interpret an utterance correctly, as the meaning often depends on context.
Her utterance, 'I'm fine,' meant she was upset, considering the context.
Tone of Voice
Tone can change the meaning of an utterance, so listen to how something is said, not just the words.
His utterance, 'That's great,' sounded sarcastic.
Cultural Nuances
Utterances can carry cultural subtext; learn common phrases and their implications in different cultures.
In some cultures, the utterance 'It's nothing' means 'Thank you.'
