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 “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.
Πώς είναι η μητέρα σου; (Pós íne i mitéra sou?)
Είναι καλά. (Íne kalá.)
Once more with the English translation.
Πώς είναι η μητέρα σου; (Pós íne i mitéra sou?)
“How's your mother?”
Είναι καλά. (Íne kalá.)
“She's fine.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “How's your mother?”
That's: Πώς είναι η μητέρα σου; (Pós íne i mitéra sou?)
Listen to it again: Πώς είναι η μητέρα σου; (Pós íne i mitéra sou?), Πώς είναι η μητέρα σου; (Pós íne i mitéra sou?)
“How's your mother?”
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Είναι {state of well-being}. (Íne {state of well-being}.)
“She's [state of well-being].”
For example:
“She's fine.”
Είναι καλά. (Íne kalá.), Είναι καλά. (Íne kalá.)
