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 answer the question, "What's your favorite number?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to say many numbers and ask someone their favorite number.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
좋아하는 숫자가 뭐예요? (Joahaneun sutjaga mwoyeyo?)
칠이에요. (Chirieyo.)
Once more with the English translation.
좋아하는 숫자가 뭐예요? (Joahaneun sutjaga mwoyeyo?)
“What's your favorite number?”
칠이에요. (Chirieyo.)
“It's seven.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What's your favorite number?”
That's:
좋아하는 숫자가 뭐예요? (Joahaneun sutjaga mwoyeyo?)
Listen to it again:
좋아하는 숫자가 뭐예요?, 좋아하는 숫자가 뭐예요? (Joahaneun sutjaga mwoyeyo?, Joahaneun sutjaga mwoyeyo?)
This Korean sentence literally means “Favorite number is what?”
But it means “What's your favorite number?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
[number]예요/이에요. ([number]yeyo/ieyo.)
This Korean sentence literally means “[number] it is.”
But it means “It's [number].”
For example:
“It's seven.”
칠이에요., 칠이에요. (Chirieyo., Chirieyo.)
