Hi everyone! I’m Alisha. |
Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
We’ve found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you’ll use in real conversations. |
In this lesson, you’ll learn conversational phrases to ask and answer the question, "How do you say this?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask someone how a word is pronounced. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
इसे कैसे कहते हैं? (iSe kaiSe kahaTe hain?) |
यह "पार्किंग" है। (yah "paarking" hai.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
इसे कैसे कहते हैं? (iSe kaiSe kahaTe hain?) |
“How do you say this?” |
यह "पार्किंग" है। (yah "paarking" hai.) |
"It's 'parking lot.'” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How do you say this?” |
That's: |
इसे कैसे कहते हैं? (iSe kaiSe kahaTe hain?) |
Listen to it again: |
इसे कैसे कहते हैं?, इसे कैसे कहते हैं? (iSe kaiSe kahaTe hain?, iSe kaiSe kahaTe hain?) |
This Hindi sentence means something like " This how say are? ” But it means “How do you say this?” |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
यह[ ]है। (yah[ ]hai.) |
This Hindi sentence literally translates into " It [word] is. ” But it means “It's (word).” |
For example: |
"It's 'parking lot.'” |
यह "पार्किंग" है।, यह "पार्किंग" है। (yah "paarking" hai., yah "paarking" hai.) |
