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 the question, "When is your birthday?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask and answer about the date of an event. |
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Doğumgününüz ne zaman? |
4 Mart'ta. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Doğumgününüz ne zaman? |
“When is your birthday?” |
4 Mart'ta. |
“It's on March 4th.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "When is [event]?" |
The pattern is: [event] ne zaman? |
This Turkish sentence translates as "[event] what time?" But it means “When is [event]?”. |
For example: |
“When is your birthday?” |
Doğumgününüz ne zaman?, Doğumgününüz ne zaman? |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
4 Mart'ta. |
“It's on March 4th.” |
Listen to it again: |
4 Mart'ta., 4 Mart'ta. |
This Turkish sentence literally translates as "4 March in." But it means “It's on March 4th.”. |
