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 are you going to talk about?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to introduce a topic you want to talk about.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Mistä sinä aiot puhua?
Aion puhua harrastuksistani.
Once more with the English translation.
Mistä sinä aiot puhua?
“What are you going to talk about?”
Aion puhua harrastuksistani.
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you going to talk about?”
That's: Mistä sinä aiot puhua?
Listen to it again: Mistä sinä aiot puhua?, Mistä sinä aiot puhua?
“What are you going to talk about?”
This Finnish sentence literally translates as “Whereof you are going to talk?”
But it means “What are you going to talk about?”.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
Aion puhua [topic].
“I'm going to talk about [topic].”
For example:
“I'm going to talk about my hobbies.”
Aion puhua harrastuksistani., Aion puhua harrastuksistani.
