Programme 22: hole-in-the-wall, get-up-and-go-person, come-hither-look, who do you think you are?

Have you heard people for instance say "he’s a very get-up-and-go-person"? Now there’s the sentence 'get up and go'. To say a "get-up-and-go-person" means somebody who’s got lots of oomph inside them, lots of enthusiasm. Or if I give you a "come-hither-look" – a "come-hither-look": come here – come hither. Another phrase being used as an adjective. You can try them out as a sort of game. "Who do you think you are?" is a common enough expression – so you can make it an adjective and say "he gave me a who-do-you-think-you-are sort of look". Make it even longer if you want: "he gave me a who-do-you-think-you-are-and-why-are-you-looking-at-me sort of look" – but there is a limit to the length you can make an adjective. Don’t go on for too long, you’ll run out of breath! for instance - například get-up-and-go-person - činorodý; nadšenec oomph - energie, elán come-hither-look - svádivý pohled common - běžný you’ll run out of breath - dojde ti dech
