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, we’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question “How's your mother?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about well-being and ask how someone is doing. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
어머니는 어떠셔? (Eomeonineun eotteosyeo?) |
어머니는 괜찮으셔. (Eomeonineun gwaenchaneusyeo.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
어머니는 어떠셔? (Eomeonineun eotteosyeo?) |
“How's your mother?” |
어머니는 괜찮으셔. (Eomeonineun gwaenchaneusyeo.) |
“She's fine.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?” |
That's: 어머니는 어떠셔? (Eomeonineun eotteosyeo?) |
Listen to it again: 어머니는 어떠셔? (Eomeonineun eotteosyeo?), 어머니는 어떠셔? (Eomeonineun eotteosyeo?) |
“How's your mother?” |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
어머니는 {state of well-being}. (Eomeonineun {state of well-being}.) |
This Korean sentence literally translates as “My mother is [state of well-being]." |
But it means “She’s [state of well-being].” in English. |
For example: |
“She's fine.” |
어머니는 괜찮으셔. (Eomeonineun gwaenchaneusyeo.), 어머니는 괜찮으셔. (Eomeonineun gwaenchaneusyeo.) |
