| 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. |
| بنقول دي ازاي؟ |
| (benʾūl dī ezzāy?) |
| بنقولها كدة: "جراج". |
| (benʾūlhā kedah: "garāǧ".) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| بنقول دي ازاي؟ |
| (benʾūl dī ezzāy?) |
| “How do you say this?” |
| بنقولها كدة: "جراج". |
| (benʾūlhā kedah: "garāǧ".) |
| "It's 'parking lot.'” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How do you say this?” |
| That's: |
| بنقول دي ازاي؟ |
| (benʾūl dī ezzāy?) |
| Listen to it again: |
| بنقول دي ازاي؟, بنقول دي ازاي؟ |
| (benʾūl dī ezzāy?, benʾūl dī ezzāy?) |
| This Arabic sentence means something like " You say this how? ” But it means “How do you say this?” |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| بنقولها كدة: [ ]. |
| (benʾūlhā kedah: [ ].) |
| This Arabic sentence literally translates into " We say it like this: [word]. ” But it means “It's (word).” |
| For example: |
| "It's 'parking lot.'” |
| بنقولها كدة: "جراج"., بنقولها كدة: "جراج". |
| (benʾūlhā kedah: "garāǧ"., benʾūlhā kedah: "garāǧ".) |
