Lesson Transcript

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.)
