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 use when talking with friends. After watching this video, you’ll be able to have a casual conversation with a friend, and to say something is “super.”
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
अरे, यह कार तो देखो! (are, yah kaar To Dekho!)
वाह, यह बहुत झकास है! (vaah, yah bahuT jhakaaS hai!)
Once more with the English translation.
अरे, यह कार तो देखो! (are, yah kaar To Dekho!)
“Hey, look at that car!”
वाह, यह बहुत झकास है! (vaah, yah bahuT jhakaaS hai!)
“Wow, that's super cool!”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “Hey, look at that car!”
That's:
अरे, यह कार तो देखो! (are, yah kaar To Dekho!)
Listen to it again:
अरे, यह कार तो देखो!, अरे, यह कार तो देखो! (are, yah kaar To Dekho!, are, yah kaar To Dekho!)
This Hindi sentence literally translates as "Hey, this car so see!” But it means “Hey, look at that car!”
Now, how do you respond to this?
First of all, you’ll need to learn how to say “wow” . That’s
वाह, वाह (vaah, vaah)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “That’s super [adjective].”
The pattern is:
यह बहुत [adjective] है। (yah bahuT [adjective] hai.)
This Hindi sentence literally translates as "This very [adjective] is.” But it means “That's super [adjective].”
For example:
“Wow, that's super cool!”
वाह, यह बहुत झकास है!, वाह, यह बहुत झकास है! (vaah, yah bahuT jhakaaS hai!, vaah, yah bahuT jhakaaS hai!)
