Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Netflix"

A: i think you mean netflix binge. It means when you watch several episodes of a tv show on netflix in one sitting

A: it means when you watch netflix with significant other and you have sex

A: Netflix is a video streaming service for films and TV.

To chill with someone means to spend time with someone, usually doing something relaxing.

So if you suggest "Netflix and chill" literally you are inviting someone to come to your house and watch TV with you.

If you invite someone of the opposite sex to your house though, it might be because you want to do more than simply watch TV.

If you ask people to "come to my house and have sex", that is too direct to be effective.

So people started suggesting "Netflix and chill" to be more subtle.

A: It's just a euphemism that became so common it lost its original meaning. If you say to someone "hey, let's go have sex", most people will say no even if they want to. "netflix and chill" is basically just an excuse to spend time together alone.

A: "Netflix and chill" has two levels to it: on the one level, it is two people relaxing and watching netflix. On another level, this phrase definitely has a sexual connotation, and if you say this to young people (at least in America) they'll immediately think you want to hook up with them.

A: Thank you!!!

A: May I ask 3 questions to help with recommendations?:
1. How old are you?
2. Do you have difficulties listening to English, or is it easy for you?
3. Are there any English shows you already enjoy?

A: "wanna Netflix and chill at my place?"

A: i took my girlfriend to my house to Netflix and chill

A: Both are OK. I think adding "while" just makes it sound like two separate activities, relaxing and watching. Without, it sounds more like watching Netflix relaxes you. They mean pretty much the same thing, the difference is mostly technical.

A: you’re welcome! the second sentence sounds weird because “as much” is related to the verb milk. that’s why it comes after milk. “out of it” comes after “as much” just because that is the word order of the expression. does this make sense?

A: The first is unnatural. The second should be "I want to watch Netflix"

A: It's hard to pin down the exact difference, but when it comes to visual media, there is a feeling of a special occasion with "saw," whereas "watched" is more mundane.
"Saw" is more about witnessing an event.
"Watched" is more about observing at will.

If you say, "I watched a movie," it's a little more likely you did so at home.
If you say, "I saw a movie," there's a feeling that it happened in a theater.

If you say, "I watched Breaking Bad," the feeling is that it was one episode.
If you say, "I saw Breaking Bad," the feeling is that you have completed the entire series.

A proper movie, especially a famous one, still tends to have special occasion built in. So it's a little less likely to say "I watched The Godfather," but you definitely can say it. It would imply that you watched it at home.

Programs like Netflix are practically utilities, so it is much more likely to say "I watched Netflix." A person who recently arrived from the depths of a jungle or a remote island can more properly say "I saw Netflix."

A: Because I've been at home a lot, I got Netflix. So I usually just watch TV.

A: Are there any series in English you recommend? If possible, anything from Netflix would be great.

A: So/As long as Netflix has more Chilling Adventures of Sabrina episodes, I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to keep watching until end. ^^

I’ve only watched that once. Is it any good?

A: I plan to watch a bunch of movies on Netflix and laze around!

A: Netflix doesn't have season 1 of ____ (drama ) so i rented dvd from ____ (Tsutaya, etc. )

A: I would switch the second and third sentence

A: yes, it sounds more natural because of the flow!

A: I'm afraid to say I don't have a short, reliable answer for that. A lot of it you have to understand case by case.

I'll try to give a few general ideas here.
1) In English, we use a lot of fixed expressions, so these have to be memorized as a unit: "to have its ups and downs", "to grind one's gears", "to scare the living shit out of someone". I feel trying to figure out why it's "one's" instead of "the" takes a lot of energy for little reward. In all languages I learn (French, German, Bulgarian, etc.), I memorize expressions and accept them "as is".

2) "the" often denotes a general concept. Take the expression "I've got the blues". The unit "the blues" represents the general concept of depression and not my personal way of feeling depressed (so "my blues" doesn't make sense).

Applying this to "Netflix has its ups and downs", we're talking about the "ups and downs" that apply to Netflix only. Not HBO. Not the movie theaters.

"Ups and downs" changes depending on what we're talking about. "the blues", on the other hand, is always depression.

3) Often, you need some sort of determiner/article in English to be grammatically correct.

And we can use "the" as long as we are specific enough.

Ex:
You can't write "the ups and downs" and leave it alone like that. My automatic reaction would be:

"the ups and downs (of what?)"

OR

"(What) ups and downs?"

To answer this question, we have to add that extra detail.

So I can say:
- The ups and downs that apply to Netflix only.
(Notice I wrote exactly this in my 2nd point)

Hope this sheds a bit of light on your questioning.

A: It would be a little more natural to say something like “I’ve been watching Netflix a lot recently” :)

A: ‘Stand-up’ is comedy, it is when someone makes jokes and tells funny stories in front of a live audience.

So a ‘stand-up special’ is just a recording of a comedians live show and Netflix makes it available on their site.

Netflix had a show of Louis CK but because of recent news that he sexually harassed women, Netflix will no longer air a second part to his stand-up show.
