Hey guys! Today's English expression is "come down with."

"Come down with" means to start to feel sick.

It's used when you are saying that you have started to feel sick with an illness that is not very serious like a cold or a headache.

Now listen to a dialogue between two friends talking about being sick.

Listen closely for the expression "come down with."

 

Hey Nikki, you don't look so good. Are you feeling okay?

> Not really... I've come down with the flu.

At that sucks! 아 , 힘들겠다 sucks to be you. 그거 안됐네!

So, are you going to work tomorrow?

> I'm going to wait and see how I feel, but I think I'm going to have to call in sick.

Yeah, I think that's for the best. Hope you get better soon.

> Thanks.

 

So, remember we use "come down with" when you start to feel sick with an illness that is not serious.

Try to use this expression the next time you're sick.

Thanks for listening and see you next time.
