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.
Bakit malungkot ang Math na aklat? Dahil napakarami niyang problema.
Haha, sobrang nakakatawa ka!
Once more with the English translation.
Bakit malungkot ang Math na aklat? Dahil napakarami niyang problema.
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
Haha, sobrang nakakatawa ka!
“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: Bakit malungkot ang Math na aklat? Dahil napakarami niyang problema.
Listen to it again: Bakit malungkot ang Math na aklat? Dahil napakarami niyang problema., Bakit malungkot ang Math na aklat? Dahil napakarami niyang problema.
“Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.”
Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s haha, haha
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is:
Sobrang [adjective] ka.
“You're so [adjective].”
This Filipino sentence literally translates as “Super [adjective] you.” But it means “You're so [adjective].”.
For example:
“Haha, you're so funny!”
Haha, sobrang nakakatawa ka!, Haha, sobrang nakakatawa ka!
