| 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. |
| ทำไมหนังสือคณิตศาสตร์จึงเศร้าเพราะมันมีปัญหามากมาย (tham-mai năng-sǔue khá-nít-dtà-sàat jueng sâo phráw man mii bpan-hăa mâak maai) |
| ฮ่า ๆ คุณตลกมาก! (hâa hâa khun dtà-lòk mâak) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| ทำไมหนังสือคณิตศาสตร์จึงเศร้าเพราะมันมีปัญหามากมาย (tham-mai năng-sǔue khá-nít-dtà-sàat jueng sâo phráw man mii bpan-hăa mâak maai) |
| “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
| ฮ่า ๆ คุณตลกมาก! (hâa hâa khun dtà-lòk mâak) |
| “Haha, you're so funny!” |
| First of all, let’s listen to the joke again “Why is the math book sad? Because it has so many problems.” |
| That's: |
| ทำไมหนังสือคณิตศาสตร์จึงเศร้าเพราะมันมีปัญหามากมาย (tham-mai năng-sǔue khá-nít-dtà-sàat jueng sâo phráw man mii bpan-hăa mâak maai) |
| Listen to it again: |
| ทำไมหนังสือคณิตศาสตร์จึงเศร้าเพราะมันมีปัญหามากมาย, ทำไมหนังสือคณิตศาสตร์จึงเศร้าเพราะมันมีปัญหามากมาย (tham-mai năng-sǔue khá-nít-dtà-sàat jueng sâo phráw man mii bpan-hăa mâak maai, tham-mai năng-sǔue khá-nít-dtà-sàat jueng sâo phráw man mii bpan-hăa mâak maai) |
| Now, how do you react to a joke? First, you’ll need to learn how to say “haha” . That’s ฮ่า ๆ, ฮ่า ๆ (hâa hâa, hâa hâa) |
| Then, you’ll need to learn how to say “You're so [adjective].” The pattern is: |
| คุณ [adjective] มาก (khun [adjective] mâak) |
| “You're so [adjective].” |
| This Thai sentence literally translates as “You're [adjective] so.” But it means “You're so [adjective].”. |
| For example: |
| “Haha, you're so funny!” |
| ฮ่า ๆ คุณตลกมาก!, ฮ่า ๆ คุณตลกมาก! (hâa hâa khun dtà-lòk mâak, hâa hâa khun dtà-lòk mâak) |
