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.
היי, תראה את המכונית הזאת!
(Hey, tir'eh et ha-mekhonit hazot!)
וואו, איזה מגניבה היא!
(Wauw, eyze magniva hi!)
Once more with the English translation.
היי, תראה את המכונית הזאת!
(Hey, tir'eh et ha-mekhonit hazot!)
“Hey, look at that car!”
וואו, איזה מגניבה היא!
(Wauw, eyze magniva hi!)
“Wow, that's super cool!”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “Hey, look at that car!”
That's:
היי, תראה את המכונית הזאת!
(Hey, tir'eh et ha-mekhonit hazot!)
Listen to it again:
היי, תראה את המכונית הזאת!, היי, תראה את המכונית הזאת!
(Hey, tir'eh et ha-mekhonit hazot!, Hey, tir'eh et ha-mekhonit hazot!)
This Hebrew sentence literally translates as "Hey, look at this car!” 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
וואו, וואו
(wauw, wauw)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “That’s super [adjective].”
The pattern is:
איזה [adjective] היא.
(Eyze [adjective] hi.)
This Hebrew sentence literally translates as "This is super [adjective].” But it means “That's super [adjective].”
For example:
“Wow, that's super cool!”
וואו, איזה מגניבה היא!, וואו, איזה מגניבה היא!
(Wauw, eyze magniva hi!, Wauw, eyze magniva hi!)
