come 好ましい変化

right, true

go rotten(腐る)

go crazy(気が変になる。とんでもないことになる)

So, any other adjectives that are used with go?

Sure. For example, go bad.

Yeah, there is another one I’m always reminded of. When I look at Chris, go bold.

That one is not such a good example. I think I prefer go flat. Like a tire, or even a performance, all the performances went flat this evening.

Come on. You can do it!

いいかい。君ならできるさ。

So, could you explain the nuance of this “Come on.”?

“Come on” basically means coming back to the normal position. Maybe someone lost confidence. Someone feels disheartened. And you want them to come back the normal positive frame of mind. So, Come on.

Yeah, and also depending on the intonation, the circumstances in the meaning can change of this “come on.

For example?

Like, Come on, Chris. Stop that.

But in every case, even when the intonation changes, it’s the same basic movement, coming back to normal.

That’s right.

 

1). Her dream of becoming a pro golfer has finally come true.

2). She’s quitting her job? Has she gone crazy?

3). Sorry. Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

b Look at that castel over there. We can reach it easier, if we go over that old bridge.

a No way.  It looks like that it's about to go. We should hike down into the valley instead.

b We will have to hike down and then climb up again.

a But It will be worth it. It's like life.

b What do you mean?

a Life has its ups and downs. But if you keep fighting, you will get to your destination.

 

Let’s go, or we’ll be late.

The pain will go soon.

The engine is gone.

How is your new job going?

How’s it going?

 

1). Come on, kids. It’s time for us to go.
