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

A: I'm not sure, but it looks like "tidn'" might mean "isn't". A lot of old books write out dialogue with accents and dialects in ways that can be hard to read. I would interpret this sentence as "That isn't a call (a reason) to accuse us. It isn't right, it isn't fair, it isn't fit, it isn't friendly."

A: "It's your decision"

"It's your choice to make"

A: time-sensitive = something that needs to be done quickly or at a particular time
treatment = medical care to cure a disease or repair an injury
authorizations = official permission to do something

time-sensitive treatment authorizations = permission to give someone medical care, which must be done urgently

A: You're taking a rest from whatever activity you're doing.


"Alright team, we worked on gardening for hours. I'm going to call a break for now."


In this example, they have been working for a long time and need to rest, so they called for a break.

Hopefully this helped!

A: @ShandyVerdyo

“Hey, that was a good call, betting on the Giants to win. I made 50 bucks!”

It means – you made the right decision. You gave me a good information.

A: They are the same. Although, "call up" is considered a separable verb. and can be used after the direct object (doctor in the example).
"I will call the doctor and ask"
I will call up the doctor and ask"
I will call the doctor up and ask"

These all mean the same thing

A: Call off the dogs we found the stolen artifact//

No one says the saying in real life besides police officers or people in movies...


It could be you sarcastically in a situation where someone is pestering you and trying to come after you for something

A: Let's do one more exercise and call it a day.

A: It doesn’t matter where the other person is. The expression is very specific to asking someone else to transfer or make a phone call for you.

Maybe a related expression will help. If the person you’ve called is not available, the receptionist might say: I’ll put you through to his voice mail.

A: “Can you call my phone so I can find it.” “Call me sometime”. “You are being called”.

A: Yes, or just "What should I call you?"

A: People say call the meeting off but it’s kind of a little weird. It’s makes literal sense though. You’re calling it OFF, like you would turn a light switch off. But it is informal and is figurative speech. I would say say “cancel the meeting” if you’re telling someone to do so, and “the meeting is cancelled” if you’re alerting others that it has been cancelled

A: call forth implies actual action whether figurative or literal. call for is to call for (someone)

“I’m going to call him forth” = I’m going to tell him to come forward

V.S

“I’m going to call for him” = I’m going to ask for him (to do something, because you have to ask something)


to call for someone has the implication of needing them for something and to ask them to do something, etc. to call someone forth is to put them to the stand or basically call them to light if that makes sense.

hope this helped lol!

A: Call it a day is an idiom used when one ceases to work. When one is tired and has been working hard, it is time to come to a stopping point and call it a day. One may call it a day because he has successfully completed something, or he may call it a day because nothing is going right and he is unsuccessful. 
Examples
1. After the farmer had harvested three acres of maize that day, he decided it was time to call it a day.
2. Once the children could not do the work, the leader decided to call it a day.

The phrase call it a night came into use in the 1930s and usually means to cease the leisure activity one is engaged in and to go home to bed. One may call it a night after a party, movie, dinner, or other social activity. One may call it a night because of exhaustion, or simply because one is not enjoying the activity or the company of one’s companions.

Good call → いい選択
Bad call → 悪い選択

A: Eric Collins is a a beloved announcer who is known for his super enthusiastic catch phrases. A lot of his sayings are sort of old fashioned and obscure but very fun.

A: It means to call the office and tell them you will not be coming in to work.

A: × Don’t call me until 5 P.M.

× I will be going cycling then.

I’d probably say, “I’m going for a bike ride and won’t be able to answer calls until 5 o’clock.” OR “Don’t call me before 5 p.m. I’ll be riding my bike.”

You can use “cycling”, “riding a bike”, . . .

I hope this helps. :)

A: I have not heard this phrase in a long time. It is not a racist phrase, it simply means to call a shovel a shovel. (To call something what it is.) I believe the phrase originated in Greek antiquity. That said, I would exercise caution in using it, because the word spade was also used as a slur for African-Americans. Because that is more recent history, some might not know the actual meaning/origin of this saying and think it has a racist meaning. It might be why this saying isn’t used much anymore.
