ad-lib1/5
ˌæd'lɪbVerbимпровизировать; говорить без подготовкиExamples

I remember one day asking one of my English musicians, "Can you ad lib?" "Certainly," answered the man, rather nettled, "I can ad lib anything." — Я помню, как однажды спросил одного из моих музыкантов-англичан: "Ты умеешь импровизировать?" "Конечно, - ответил тот довольно обиженно, - я могу сыграть без подготовки всё, что угодно".
