Ask Ebaby! Teachers Go Super!

Ask whether he/she has been losing weight

Hello,

       If we see our old friend who look thinner than he or she was, how should we ask?

      Have you been losing weight?

      If he or she is not sure, how can we ask him/her indirectly? For example;

      Do you think your shirts or pants have been loose?

      When you buckle the belt, do you still use the same pinch hole?

      Are these examples correct? Thank you very much.

Hi! The best thing to say in this case is "Have you lost weight?" You could also ask, "Do your shirts and pants feel loose?" "When you buckle your belt, do you still use the same hole?" or, "Are you buckling your belt tighter?" You might also ask, "Are you still wearing the same size?"
