tableware

0:09

let's take a look

0:11

maybe when you're cooking food

0:14

you might think to yourself hmm

0:17

i need to set the table

0:20

to set the table means

0:23

to take these things and

0:26

put them on the table

0:29

so they're ready for when you eat

0:32

if you want to ask someone to help you

0:36

you might say

0:37

0:44

0:50

we'll start with this

0:53

this is a plate

0:55

i use plates a lot for example when i

0:59

eat toast in the morning i'll put it on

1:02

my plate

1:04

next i have three different kinds of

1:07

bowls

1:09

this is

1:10

a bowl this is a regular bowl

1:15

i eat cereal from

1:18

this bowl

1:20

i also might eat soup or other things

1:24

from this bowl

1:29

this is a small bowl

1:32

normally i use this bowl to eat dessert

1:36

from

1:37

i don't need a lot of ice cream just a

1:41

little

1:42

so

1:43

a small bowl is good for that

1:48

and lastly i have this big bowl

1:51

i like this bowl for when i make asian

1:54

style soups so

1:56

noodle soups for example

1:59

or when i eat a salad

2:01

i just need a big bowl for that so this

2:05

is the best

2:06

one now let's move on to silverware

2:11

so

2:12

these

2:14

and this

2:15

are called

2:16

silverware

2:18

and that's because it has a silver color

2:21

to it

2:22

maybe in older times they were made from

2:26

the material silver

2:31

so a lot of the time when i eat

2:34

i will use a fork

2:38

this is a fork

2:40

and a knife

2:44

knife

2:46

be careful the k in knife is

2:49

silent it's not knife just

2:52

knife

2:54

this kind of knife is called a steak

2:57

knife

2:58

this is sharper

3:01

so

3:02

be careful

3:04

and a steak knife you normally use to

3:07

eat

3:08

steak with

3:11

then i have two kinds of spoons

3:15

so this is a spoon and this is a spoon

3:20

this i would just call a regular spoon

3:24

a tablespoon

3:26

or

3:27

a soup spoon

3:28

[Music]

3:30

spoon

3:33

and this small spoon is called

3:36

a teaspoon

3:39

teaspoon

3:41

again a knife

3:44

a fork and a spoon

3:46

these things are called silverware

3:50

silverware

3:52

now what if you're thirsty

3:55

if you're thirsty you need something to

3:57

drink

3:58

so you use

4:01

a glass to maybe pour some juice into

4:06

i drink juice from a glass

4:10

glass

4:12

you could also call this a cup

4:15

but cups can be made of other materials

4:18

not just glass

4:21

cups are made of paper

4:24

plastic

4:25

maybe even

4:26

wood but when it's made of glass

4:30

we normally call it a glass

4:33

this is a different kind of glass

4:36

you can probably imagine what you drink

4:39

from this

4:42

you drink wine from this glass

4:44

so the name is a

4:47

wine glass

4:49

a wine glass

4:51

and lastly

4:53

in the morning when i drink my coffee

4:56

or sometimes when i drink tea

4:59

i use a mug

5:01

this is a mug

5:03

we drink hot drinks

5:05

with mugs

5:08

they have handles so you don't burn

5:11

yourself

5:13

one last thing

5:14

so we know this is called silverware

5:18

but

5:19

what are these called

5:22

bowls plates

5:25

cups and mugs

5:27

all together you would call these dishes

5:31

when you say to wash the dishes

5:34

of course you mean to wash all of these

5:37

things

5:39

also when we eat

5:41

sometimes it's messy and we get food on

5:45

our faces

5:47

then we need

5:49

a napkin

5:50

we use a napkin to

5:52

wipe

5:53

our face

5:55

or to clean our hands

5:59

a napkin

5:59
