Hello, and welcome to the English we speak, where we explain phrases used by fluent english speakers so that you can use them, too.
I'm fei fei, and I'm here with Beth.
Hi, everyone, and hi, fei fei.
How are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
In this program, we're actually going to learn a word that I heard you say when you were talking about food.
It was top notch.
Ah, yes, top notch.
So, yeah, earlier I was talking about going to my brother's house where I had some amazing plant based food.
I couldn't believe how tasty it was with no meat or dairy.
It was top notch.
Oh, sounds lovely.
I'd love to try it.
So top notch is an adjective that means something is of very high standard or high quality, and we can use it for people, too.
I actually had some top notch food reading.
Oh, what did you have?
Well, I went to an independent cafe around the corner from my house, and they make the best carrot cake.
It was top notch.
So delicious.
Sounds really good.
