| Shakti: इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। गुआम के लिए तैयार! (iS chuttii kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa. guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) |
| John: "Long wait for this holiday. Ready for Guam!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। गुआम के लिए तैयार! (iS chuttii kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa. guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) (Regular) इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। गुआम के लिए तैयार! (iS chuttii kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa. guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Long wait for this holiday." |
| Shakti: इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। (iS chutti kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa.) |
| John: The last part of the expression is… |
| Shakti: bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa |
| John: This literally means 'there was a long wait for this," but what it basically means is 'I've been waiting for this for a long time.” Listen again - "Long wait for this holiday" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। (iS chutti kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa.) (REGULAR) इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। (iS chutti kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa.) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Ready for Guam!." |
| Shakti: गुआम के लिए तैयार! (guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) |
| John: The phrase… |
| Shakti: ke lie Taiyaar |
| John: ...means “ready for something.” You can use this with anything to talk about being ready for something. Listen again - "Ready for Guam!" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) गुआम के लिए तैयार! (guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) (REGULAR) गुआम के लिए तैयार! (guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) |
| John: Altogether, "Long wait for this holiday. Ready for Guam!" |
| Shakti: इस छुट्टी का बहुत दिनों से इंतज़ार था। गुआम के लिए तैयार! (iS chuttii kaa bahuT DiNon Se iNTazaar THaa. guaam ke lie Taiyaar!) |
