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, we’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question “What's the matter?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to make complaints and ask someone else if they’re having any issues.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Hvad er der galt?
Kontoret er varmt.
Once more with the English translation.
Hvad er der galt?
“What's the matter?”
Kontoret er varmt.
“The office is hot.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What's the matter?”
That's: Hvad er der galt?
Listen to it again: Hvad er der galt?, Hvad er der galt?
“What's the matter?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Kontoret er {adjective}.
“The office is {adjective}.”
For example:
“The office is hot.”
Kontoret er varmt., Kontoret er varmt.
