Hi everyone! Iโm Alisha. |
Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
Weโve 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 youโll use in real conversations. |
In this lesson, youโll learn conversational phrases to answer the question, "What are you doing?" After watching this video, youโll be able to answer this question and tell someone something about what youโre writing. |
Now, letโs take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
Kamu sedang apa? |
Aku sedang menulis jurnalku. |
Once more with the English translation. |
Kamu sedang apa? |
โWhat are you doing?โ |
Aku sedang menulis jurnalku. |
โI'm writing my journal.โ |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say โWhat are you doing?โ |
That's: Kamu sedang apa? |
Listen to it again: Kamu sedang apa?, Kamu sedang apa? |
This Indonesian sentence literally translates as โYou're doing what?โ |
But it means โWhat are you doing?โ. |
Now, how do you answer this question? |
The pattern is: |
Aku sedang menulis [object]. |
โI'm writing [object].โ |
For example: |
โI'm writing my journal.โ |
Aku sedang menulis jurnalku., Aku sedang menulis jurnalku. |
