You can't miss it!
Please read the following conversation:
対話を読んでください：
A: "Why don't we meet at the new coffee shop on State street? It's brand new so I don't think many people will be there."
B: "Okay, but I've never been. Can you tell me how to get there?"
A: "Sure, it's easy. When you get to the train station take the South exit and turn left. There is a huge sign. You can't miss it!"
[新しい単語]
- brand new ~ 真新しい
- I've never been ~ 行ったことがない
- huge sign ~ 大きい看板
Can you guess what you can't miss it means? If you miss something/someone it can mean you didn't see or notice something/someone.
Carl: "Did you see Bob this morning?"
Spencer: "No he left right before I got to the office. I just missed him."
And we know that if you can't do something it isn't possible.
"I can't stop eating donuts! They are too delicious!"
So.... We can easily imagine something that we can't miss is impossible not to see. A natural definition of can't miss is very easy to see.
The huge sign is very easy to see. You can't miss it!
Practice giving directions and use the phrase You can't miss it! when you describe something that is easy to see!
