| 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 “How's your mother?” After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about well-being and ask how someone is doing. |
| Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
| Listen to the dialogue. |
| Hvordan har din mor det? |
| Hun har det godt. |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| Hvordan har din mor det? |
| “How's your mother?” |
| Hun har det godt. |
| “She's fine.” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?” |
| That's: Hvordan har din mor det? |
| Listen to it again: Hvordan har din mor det?, Hvordan har din mor det? |
| This Danish sentence literally means “How has your mother it?” |
| But it translates as “How's your mother?” in English. |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| Hun har det {state of well-being}. |
| This Danish sentence literally translates as “She has it [state of well-being]."" |
| But it means “She’s [state of well-being].” in English. |
| For example: |
| “She's fine.” |
| Hun har det godt., Hun har det godt. |
