can any one tell me the correct usage of the expression "to boot". like "you can save $30 to boot"

Answer 1

Means you are saving $30 ..from original price

Answer 2

To boot usually means “in addition, besides, moreover”, as here in Falk, by Joseph Conrad: “At all events he was a Scandinavian of some sort, and a bloated monopolist to boot”.

The phrase can sometimes contain the idea of some positive outcome or advantage, not just something additional.

In this, it’s reflecting its ancient origin in Old English bot, advantage, remedy. It’s of Germanic origin and is related to Dutch boete and German Busse (a penance or fine) as well as to the English words better and best.

Answer 3

Correct usage: "I can't get my computer to boot."

Answer 4

1) to kick sth/sb hard:
He booted the ball over the fence.
2) to make a computer ready for use when it is first switched on
 PHRASAL VERBS 
boot sb/sth out to force sb/sth to leave a place

Answer 5

you need an 'and' at the begining. you should buy this phone, its great, and you save 30 bucks to boot.

its much like the phrase, "all that and a bag of chips"

you should buy this phone, its great, you save 30 bucks, its all that and a bag of chips.

Answer 6

Basically it's like saying "on top of that" or "in addition to that you also get this" kind of thing. For example your getting a free sofwtare with your computer to boot. Whenever you are giving something extra or bonus or something surprising you can use that expression. Hope this helps.
