Welcome to English in a Minute! These are dice. But what do you think the adjective “dicey” means? Let’s listen. DAN: So, is your tree-cutting “party” still on this weekend? ANNA: Yes! The weather could be dicey, though. Thunder, lightning, maybe a tornado? DAN: Well, cutting down a tree in a storm sounds very dicey. And dumb. ANNA: (thinks) Nah, it’ll be fine. There is no way to predict how dice are going to roll. So, “dicey” describes something that is unpredictable or risky. You can use “dicey” when talking about lots of things -- the weather, a physical activity, or even a business decision.
