1.You're getting on.
2.You're cut out the job.

1.I saw #1 in a book in which the author said that #1 means that
'You're making me angry.' I looked it up in my English dictionary but
I could not find out it. Could you tell me what #1 means?

2.I saw #2 in a book but I think that #2 is incorrect and instead 'You're cut out for the job.' is correct. Could you inform me if I'm right?

Thanks.

Hi!

Quote:

1.You're getting on.
2.You're cut out the job.

1. "You're getting on my nerves." means that you are starting to make me angry, or that I am losing patience with you.

2. "You're cut out for the job." is correct. Good job!

Hope this helps!
