Good morning everyone.
Today's expression is: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
Meaning: used to ask, especially in an angry way, what someone is suggesting or implying.
Example 1:
Ana: You're partly to blame for this, Mariano.
Mariano: What, exactly, are you getting at? I did everything you asked me to do.
Example 2:
Josh: I think we should spend some time apart for a few weeks. I think we both need our space.
Janet: What are you getting at Josh. If you want to break up, why don't you just say so!
Remember that tomorrow we present the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English.
Until then, have a great day!
