to tolerate · to endure something unpleasant
Ever feel like you're dealing with something you really don't like, but you have no choice but to accept it? Like your neighbor's ridiculously loud karaoke sessions? 🎶 This phrase is perfect for expressing that feeling of enduring something annoying or difficult! 😤
Which situation is NOT appropriate for using 'to put up with something/someone'? A. 😫 Your colleague always leaves dirty dishes in the office sink. B. 🎉 You are enjoying a fantastic vacation at a luxury resort. C. 🌧️ You have to work outside in the rain for a few hours.
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression often implies a certain level of frustration or annoyance, even if you're trying to be patient. It's not usually used for something you genuinely enjoy or find easy to manage. You can use it for both things ('I can't put up with this noise!') and people ('How do you put up with his constant complaining?').
