| 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 how to ask the question, "When is your birthday?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to ask and answer about the date of an event. |
| Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
| Listen to the dialogue. |
| วันเกิดของคุณคือเมื่อไหร่ (wan-gòoet khǎawng khun khuue mûuea rài) |
| วันที่ 4 มีนาคม (wan thîi sìi miii-naa khom) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| วันเกิดของคุณคือเมื่อไหร่ (wan-gòoet khǎawng khun khuue mûuea rài) |
| “When is your birthday?” |
| วันที่ 4 มีนาคม (wan thîi sìi miii-naa khom) |
| “It's on March 4th.” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say "When is [event]?" |
| The pattern is: |
| [event] คือเมื่อไหร่ ([event] khuue mûuea rài) |
| This Thai sentence translates as "[event] is when?" But it means “When is [event]?”. |
| For example: |
| วันเกิดของคุณคือเมื่อไหร่, วันเกิดของคุณคือเมื่อไหร่ (wan-gòoet khǎawng khun khuue mûuea rài, wan-gòoet khǎawng khun khuue mûuea rài) |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| วันที่ 4 มีนาคม (wan thîi sìi miii-naa khom) |
| Listen to it again: |
| วันที่ 4 มีนาคม, วันที่ 4 มีนาคม (wan thîi sìi miii-naa khom, wan thîi sìi miii-naa khom) |
| This Thai sentence literally translates as "March 4th." But it means "It's on March 4th.". |
