| 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. |
| یہ کیسے کہتے ہیں؟ |
| (Yeh kaisay kehtay hain? ) |
| یہ "پارکنگ لاٹ" ہے۔ |
| (Yeh "parking laat" hai. ) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| یہ کیسے کہتے ہیں؟ |
| (Yeh kaisay kehtay hain? ) |
| “How do you say this?” |
| یہ "پارکنگ لاٹ" ہے۔ |
| (Yeh "parking laat" hai. ) |
| "It's 'parking lot.'” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How do you say this?” |
| That's: |
| یہ کیسے کہتے ہیں؟ |
| (Yeh kaisay kehtay hain? ) |
| Listen to it again: |
| یہ کیسے کہتے ہیں؟, یہ کیسے کہتے ہیں؟ |
| (Yeh kaisay kehtay hain? , Yeh kaisay kehtay hain? ) |
| This Urdu sentence means something like "This how you say do?" But it means "How do you say this?" in English. |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| یہ [ ] ہے۔ |
| (Yeh [ ] hai.) |
| This Urdu sentence literally translates into "This [word] is." But it means “It's (word)." in English. |
| For example: |
| "It's 'parking lot.'” |
| یہ "پارکنگ لاٹ" ہے۔, یہ "پارکنگ لاٹ" ہے۔ |
| (Yeh "parking laat" hai. , Yeh "parking laat" hai. ) |
