The phrase “Say cheese!” is typically used when taking a photograph. It’s a way to encourage the people in the picture to smile. When you say the word “cheese”, your mouth naturally forms a smile-like shape. So, it’s like saying, “Smile for the camera!”
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
At the family reunion, everyone gathered for a group photo and the photographer said, “Say cheese!”
Example 2:
When Alice was taking a photo of her dog with a funny hat on, she couldn’t help but say, “Say cheese!”
Now let’s see it in conversation:
Example 3:
Liam: Ready for the picture, guys?
Everyone: Yeah!
Liam: Alright, on the count of three. One… Two… Three… Say cheese!
Example 4:
Emily: Grandma, let’s take a selfie together.
Grandma: A self-what, dear?
Emily: A selfie. It’s a photo of us taken by us. Now, look at the camera and say cheese!
So when someone says, “Say cheese!“, they want you to smile for a photograph. It’s a fun and lighthearted way to get people ready for a picture.
