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 use when talking with friends. After watching this video, you’ll be able to have a casual conversation with a friend, and to say something is “super.”
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
喂,睇下嗰架車! (wai3, tai2 haa5 go2 gaa3 ce1!)
嘩,超型! (waa1, ciu1 jing4!)
Once more with the English translation.
喂,睇下嗰架車! (wai3, tai2 haa5 go2 gaa3 ce1!)
“Hey, look at that car!”
嘩,超型! (waa1, ciu1 jing4!)
“Wow, that's super cool!”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “Hey, look at that car!”
That's:
喂,睇下嗰架車! (wai3, tai2 haa5 go2 gaa3 ce1!)
Listen to it again:
喂,睇下嗰架車!, 喂,睇下嗰架車! (wai3, tai2 haa5 go2 gaa3 ce1!, wai3, tai2 haa5 go2 gaa3 ce1!)
“Hey, look at that car!”
Now, how do you respond to this?
First of all, you’ll need to learn how to say “wow” . That’s
嘩, 嘩 (waa1, waa1)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “That’s super [adjective].”
The pattern is:
超 [adjective]。 (ciu1 [adjective].)
This Cantonese sentence literally translates as "Super [adjective].” But it means “That's super [adjective].”
For example:
“Wow, that's super cool!”
嘩,超型!, 嘩,超型! (waa1, ciu1 jing4!, waa1, ciu1 jing4!)
