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.
수학 책이 왜 슬퍼 보일까요? 문제가 많기 때문이에요. (Suhak chaegi wae seulpeo boilkkayo? Munjega manki ttaemunieyo.)
하하, 정말 웃겨요! (Haha, jeongmal utgyeoyo!)
Once more with the English translation.
수학 책이 왜 슬퍼 보일까요? 문제가 많기 때문이에요. (Suhak chaegi wae seulpeo boilkkayo? Munjega manki ttaemunieyo.)
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
하하, 정말 웃겨요! (Haha, jeongmal utgyeoyo!)
“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:
수학 책이 왜 슬퍼 보일까요? 문제가 많기 때문이에요. (Suhak chaegi wae seulpeo boilkkayo? Munjega manki ttaemunieyo.)
Listen to it again:
수학 책이 왜 슬퍼 보일까요? 문제가 많기 때문이에요., 수학 책이 왜 슬퍼 보일까요? 문제가 많기 때문이에요. (Suhak chaegi wae seulpeo boilkkayo? Munjega manki ttaemunieyo., Suhak chaegi wae seulpeo boilkkayo? Munjega manki ttaemunieyo.)
Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s 하하, 하하 (haha, haha)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is:
정말 [adjective]. (Jeongmal [adjective].)
“You're so [adjective].”
This Korean sentence literally translates as “Really [adjective].” But it means “You're so [adjective].”.
For example:
“Haha, you're so funny!”
하하, 정말 웃겨요!, 하하, 정말 웃겨요! (Haha, jeongmal utgyeoyo!, Haha, jeongmal utgyeoyo!)
