Use English Idioms Correctly | Take a Stab At

YouTube blocked? Click here to see the video.

The English idiom ‘take a stab at’ sound a little violent — but it’s not! Learn the meaning and how to use it.

Video Text: 

Hit him alert. Aarrrhh!

Okay what, that is so violent. This motion.

Is just stab.

Now, I just used an idiom to take a stab at something and it has nothing to do with knives or violence.

If you take a stab at something, you’re trying it. I texted my friend, were getting together,

I said I’m going to bring a lot of butter and flour and I think I’m going to take a stab at croissants.

I’ve never made them before, it intimidates me a little bit but I think I’m going to try it.

I’m going to take a stab at it.
