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." |
