| 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 comment on a joke. After watching this video, you’ll be able to compliment or criticize anyone on their sense of humor. |
| Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
| Listen to the dialogue. |
| چرا کتاب ریاضی غمگینه؟ چون مسائل زیادی داره. |
| (cheraa ketaab-e riaazi ghamgine? chon masaa'el-e ziaadi daare.) |
| هاها، خیلی بامزه هستی! |
| (haahaa, kheyli baamazze hasti!) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| چرا کتاب ریاضی غمگینه؟ چون مسائل زیادی داره. |
| (cheraa ketaab-e riaazi ghamgine? chon masaa'el-e ziaadi daare.) |
| “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
| هاها، خیلی بامزه هستی! |
| (haahaa, kheyli baamazze hasti!) |
| “Haha, you're so funny!” |
| First of all, let’s listen to the joke again “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
| That's: |
| چرا کتاب ریاضی غمگینه؟ چون مسائل زیادی داره. |
| (cheraa ketaab-e riaazi ghamgine? chon masaa'el-e ziaadi daare.) |
| Listen to it again: |
| چرا کتاب ریاضی غمگینه؟ چون مسائل زیادی داره., چرا کتاب ریاضی غمگینه؟ چون مسائل زیادی داره. |
| (cheraa ketaab-e riaazi ghamgine? chon masaa'el-e ziaadi daare., cheraa ketaab-e riaazi ghamgine? chon masaa'el-e ziaadi daare.) |
| Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s هاها, هاها (haahaa, haahaa) |
| Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is: |
| خیلی [adjective] هستی. (kheyli [adjective] hasti.) |
| “You're so [adjective].” |
| This Persian sentence literally translates as “Very [adjective] you are.” But it means “You're so [adjective].”. |
| For example: |
| “Haha, you're so funny!” |
| هاها، خیلی بامزه هستی!, هاها، خیلی بامزه هستی! |
| (haahaa, kheyli baamazze hasti!, haahaa, kheyli baamazze hasti!) |
