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 comment on a joke. After watching this video, you’ll be able to compliment or criticize anyone on their sense of humor. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
गणित की किताब इतनी उदास क्यों है? क्योंकि उसमें बहुत सारी समस्याएं हैं। (ganiT kii kiTaab iTaNii uDaaS kyon hai? kyonki uSamen bahuT Saarii SamaSyaayen hain.) |
हाहा, तुम बहुत मज़ेदार हो! (haahaa, Tum bahuT mazeDaar ho!) |
Once more with the English translation. |
गणित की किताब इतनी उदास क्यों है? क्योंकि उसमें बहुत सारी समस्याएं हैं। (ganiT kii kiTaab iTaNii uDaaS kyon hai? kyonki uSamen bahuT Saarii SamaSyaayen hain.) |
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
हाहा, तुम बहुत मज़ेदार हो! (haahaa, Tum bahuT mazeDaar ho!) |
“Haha, you're so funny!” |
First of all, let’s listen to the joke again “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
That's: |
गणित की किताब इतनी उदास क्यों है? क्योंकि उसमें बहुत सारी समस्याएं हैं। (ganiT kii kiTaab iTaNii uDaaS kyon hai? kyonki uSamen bahuT Saarii SamaSyaayen hain.) |
Listen to it again: |
गणित की किताब इतनी उदास क्यों है? क्योंकि उसमें बहुत सारी समस्याएं हैं।, गणित की किताब इतनी उदास क्यों है? क्योंकि उसमें बहुत सारी समस्याएं हैं। (ganiT kii kiTaab iTaNii uDaaS kyon hai? kyonki uSamen bahuT Saarii SamaSyaayen hain., ganiT kii kiTaab iTaNii uDaaS kyon hai? kyonki uSamen bahuT Saarii SamaSyaayen hain.) |
Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s हाहा, हाहा (haahaa, haahaa) |
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is: |
तुम बहुत [adjective] हो। (Tum bahuT [adjective] ho.) |
“You're so [adjective].” |
This Hindi sentence literally translates as “You very [adjective] is.” But it means “You're so [adjective].”. |
For example: |
“Haha, you're so funny!” |
हाहा, तुम बहुत मज़ेदार हो!, हाहा, तुम बहुत मज़ेदार हो! (haahaa, Tum bahuT mazeDaar ho!, haahaa, Tum bahuT mazeDaar ho!) |
