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, we’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question “What's the matter?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to make complaints and ask someone else if they’re having any issues.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Her şey yolunda mı?
Ofis sıcaktır.
Once more with the English translation.
Her şey yolunda mı?
“What's the matter?”
Ofis sıcaktır.
“The office is hot.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What's the matter?”
That's: Her şey yolunda mı?
Listen to it again: Her şey yolunda mı?, Her şey yolunda mı?
“What's the matter?”
This Turkish sentence literally translates into "Everything alright is?,” but it means “What's the matter?” in English.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Ofis {adjective}dir.
“The office is {adjective}.”
This Turkish sentence literally translates into "The office [adjective] is.,” but it means “The office is [adjective].” in English.
For example:
“The office is hot.”
Ofis sıcaktır., Ofis sıcaktır.
