is personal

6:27

identification number so it's like

6:29

saying I've forgotten my personal

6:31

identification number number now I can't

6:33

finish this video without pointing out

6:35

that sometimes we can use topology

6:39

intentionally for impact for added

6:42

impact in usually more literary contexts

6:46

or more colloquial contexts as I said in

6:49

academic writing like essays or reports

6:51

or proposals I don't recommend you use

6:54

it in this way but let's look at some

6:56

examples where toogy is used in

6:59

intentionally so I saw it with my own

7:01

eyes I saw it with my own eyes that's

7:04

quite a common expression and it's it's

7:07

redundant right of course you saw it

7:09

with your own eyes what else are you

7:10

going to see it with you can't see it

7:11

with your ears or your nose it must have

7:13

been with your own eyes not not your

7:15

friend's eyes of course but we're using

7:18

toogy here to really emphasize you know

7:21

I promise it's true I saw it with my own

7:23

eyes I can I can guarantee what I'm

7:26

saying happened because I saw it it's

7:29

not just that I saw it I saw it with my

7:31

own eyes another typical phrase which is

7:33

technically a redundancy but it's quite

7:35

common I am my Father's son I am my

7:38

Father's son of course I'm my Father's

7:40

son I can only be my Father's son or

7:42

daughter of course but as a man I am my

7:44

Father's son
