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 apologizing to someone. After watching this video, you'll be able to apologize and say what you're apologizing for. |
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Patawarin mo ako sa pagiging huli. |
Huwag mong alalahanin iyon. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Patawarin mo ako sa pagiging huli. |
“I'm sorry for being late.” |
Huwag mong alalahanin iyon. |
“Don't worry about it.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "I'm sorry for [reason]." |
The pattern is: Patawarin mo ako sa [reason]. |
This Filipino sentence literally translates as "Sorry you me in [reason]." But it means "I'm sorry for [reason].". |
For example: |
"I'm sorry for being late." |
Patawarin mo ako sa pagiging huli., Patawarin mo ako sa pagiging huli. |
Now, how do you respond that it's okay? |
Huwag mong alalahanin iyon. |
"Don't worry about it." |
Listen to it again: Huwag mong alalahanin iyon., Huwag mong alalahanin iyon. |
This Filipino sentence translates as "Don't you worry that." But it means "Don't worry about it." |
