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 answer the question, "What are you good at?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about what you’re good at doing. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?) |
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?) |
“What are you good at?” |
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.) |
“I'm good at languages.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you good at?” |
That's: |
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?) |
Listen to it again: |
आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं?, आप किस चीज़ में अच्छी हैं? (aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?, aap kiS ciiz men acchii hain?) |
This Hindi sentence literally translates as “You which thing in good are?” But it means “What are you good at?”. |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
मैं [skill] में अच्छा/अच्छी हूँ। (main [skill] men acchaa/acchii huun.) |
This Hindi sentence literally translates as “I [skill] in good am.” But it means “I'm good at [skill].”. |
For example: |
“I'm good at languages.” |
मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ।, मैं भाषाओं में अच्छी हूँ। (main bhaasaaon men acchii huun., main bhaasaaon men acchii huun.) |
