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 how to ask where something is located. After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask for directions.
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
فين السوبر ماركت؟
(feīn el-sūbar mārket?)
هناك.
(henāk.)
Once more with the English translation.
فين السوبر ماركت؟
(feīn el-sūbar mārket?)
“Where is the supermarket?”
هناك.
(henāk.)
“It's over there.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "Where is [place]?"
The pattern is:
فين [place]؟
(feīn [place]?)
This Arabic sentence literally translates as "Where [place]?" But it means "Where is [place]?".
For example:
"Where is the supermarket?"
فين السوبر ماركت؟, فين السوبر ماركت؟
(feīn el-sūbar mārket?, feīn el-sūbar mārket?)
Now, how do you answer this question?
هناك.
(henāk.)
"It's over there."
Listen to it again:
هناك., هناك.
(henāk., henāk.)
This Arabic sentence translates as "There." But it means "It's over there."
