But after graduating from university, I I stopped playing basketball and I, but I continued to play tennis.00:03:01JackSo when?00:03:01JackWhen I go home to America, I play tennis with my brother. I play with my dad and I play with my mom. They they all play tennis and my dad is 75.

He asked me to. So it's it was not my fault. And I told him I wouldn't do it. And then he said I would be grounded if I didn't kick him. So then I did kick him. I was a kid. I was like 13.

I do jujitsu.00:04:49발표자Do.00:04:50JackWe do not say I play those things and I guess I don't know, because maybe like martial arts is a little different. It's not necessarily like a game. It is a competition or it can be a competition.00:05:02JackBut I just we just tend not to use the verb play with those because it's just, uh, it's it's a different kind of activity maybe because, like team sports, we tend to use play, although tennis can be a, a, an individual sport and we use play for tennis.
