Does the expiation multiply with the multiplication and variation of oaths?

Question:
Regarding an oath: if one swears an oath today, and another tomorrow, and then another after that, is one expiation sufficient?
Answer:
If they are for one single matter.
Q: Are the oaths different?
The Shaykh: Do you understand or not? Understand! I said today: "By Allah, I will not speak to this man," and tomorrow: "By Allah, I will not speak to the other one, 'Zayd,'" and after that: "By Allah, I will not speak to 'Sa'id.'" These are three, and each one has its own expiation. Do you understand?
And among its forms is also: I said, "By Allah, I will not speak to so-and-so," that is one. The second, I said, "By Allah, I will not visit so-and-so," visiting is not speaking. The third, "By Allah, I will not eat his food or eat at his feast." Three, and each one has its own expiation. Do you understand or not?
The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
