Hey everyone here's a quick lesson! Do you know what this expression means?
to lose track of time
This is when you are doing something and get really caught up in it, you are so focused on what you are doing that time flies by(seems to pass quickly)! It can be used in formal or informal situations.
A: Where were you??? I've been waiting for 30 minutes!
B: Sorry, I was reading a great book and I lost track of time.
A: Next time, email me to let me know you're gonna be late.
B: Ok, let me make it up to you-dinner's my treat.
A: Alright, I forgive. What book were you reading?
So remember to treat someone is to pay for them (in Japanese, 奢ります おごります) and to make it up to someone means that when you do something bad you need to do something good to balance things out.
More posts soon!
