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 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!)
