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.
Что зелёный виноград сказал фиолетовому? Дыши, дыши! (Chto zelyonyy vinograd skazal fioletovomu? Dyshi, dyshi!)
Ахаха, ты такой забавный! (Akhakha, ty takoy zabavnyy!)
Once more with the English translation.
Что зелёный виноград сказал фиолетовому? Дыши, дыши! (Chto zelyonyy vinograd skazal fioletovomu? Dyshi, dyshi!)
“What did the green grape say to the purple grape? Breathe, breathe!”
Ахаха, ты такой забавный! (Akhakha, ty takoy zabavnyy!)
“Haha, you're so funny!”
First of all, let’s listen to the joke again “What did the green grape say to the purple grape? Breathe, breathe!”
That's:
Что зелёный виноград сказал фиолетовому? Дыши, дыши! (Chto zelyonyy vinograd skazal fioletovomu? Dyshi, dyshi!)
Listen to it again:
Что зелёный виноград сказал фиолетовому? Дыши, дыши!, Что зелёный виноград сказал фиолетовому? Дыши, дыши! (Chto zelyonyy vinograd skazal fioletovomu? Dyshi, dyshi!, Chto zelyonyy vinograd skazal fioletovomu? Dyshi, dyshi!)
Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s ахаха, ахаха (akhakha, akhakha)
Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is:
Ты такой [adjective]. (Ty takoy [adjective].)
“You're so [adjective].”
For example:
“Haha, you're so funny!”
Ахаха, ты такой забавный!, Ахаха, ты такой забавный! (Akhakha, ty takoy zabavnyy!, Akhakha, ty takoy zabavnyy!)
