Chemistry

[ngamary]

Dear Teachers,

1) I see a lot of chemistry going on between us. ( about love)

-What does this mean?

2) You’re going about it all the wrong way.

-What does this mean?

3) She and I are of different culture.

-What does this mean? And why do we use “of” here?

4) You’re way better of nursing your broken heart.

-What does this mean? And why do we use “of” and “way” here?

Thanks a lot.

Ngamary.

1) I see a lot of chemistry going on between us. ( about love)

-What does this mean? (This means you are attracted to each other).

2) You’re going about it all the wrong way.

-What does this mean? (You are using the wrong method).

3) She and I are of different cultures.

-What does this mean? And why do we use “of” here?
(Of/from have the same meaning in this sentence. You and she have different backgrounds. You come from different countries or have different beliefs, customs, etc).

4) You’re way better off nursing your broken heart.

-What does this mean? And why do we use “of” and “way” here?
I think "of" is a misprint. "Better off" is an idiom meaning "in better circumstances, more fortunate." The sentence suggests that there was another option that would not have been good. Way (or away) means to a great degree.
