哈囉，大家好！I’m Grace.

0:00:01.559,0:00:02.615
In today’s video,

0:00:02.615,0:00:05.687
I’ll introduce 10 commonly used Chinese phrases

0:00:05.687,0:00:07.060
in TV dramas

0:00:07.060,0:00:09.028
These phrases are very colloquial

0:00:09.028,0:00:10.297
You can also use them

0:00:10.297,0:00:11.858
in your daily conversation

0:00:11.858,0:00:14.816
Also, this video is sponsored by Skillshare,

0:00:14.816,0:00:16.152
but more about that later

0:00:16.152,0:00:18.579
那我們話不多說，現在就開始吧！[br]那我们话不多说，现在就开始吧！

0:00:28.684,0:00:29.967
The first one is

0:00:41.885,0:00:44.436
If your friend seems to be upset or angry,

0:00:44.436,0:00:46.771
you can ask them “怎麼了？”,

0:00:48.401,0:00:50.039
so it’s kind of a way to show

0:00:50.039,0:00:51.758
that you care about the person

0:00:51.758,0:00:53.539
and also to know what happened

0:01:03.301,0:01:05.543
"怎麼了？” can also be used as a response

0:01:05.543,0:01:07.221
when someone grabs your attention

0:01:07.221,0:01:08.635
and wants to talk to you

0:01:17.109,0:01:18.754
You might also hear people say

0:01:22.220,0:01:23.552
It sounds more casual

0:01:34.683,0:01:36.513
Sometimes, you might hear people say

0:01:52.157,0:01:54.672
both can be used to ask “What happened?”,

0:01:54.672,0:01:56.655
but 怎麼回事 expresses

0:01:56.655,0:01:58.578
a stronger feeling of concern

0:01:58.578,0:01:59.669
It’s more serious

0:01:59.669,0:02:02.795
and people use this to ask for an explanation of

0:02:02.795,0:02:05.308
what happened or how things happened

0:02:12.018,0:02:13.369
The next one is

0:02:24.610,0:02:26.573
This can be used with the first one

0:02:26.573,0:02:27.851
When you see your friend

0:02:27.851,0:02:29.476
and they seem to be unhappy

0:02:29.476,0:02:30.465
or don’t feel well,

0:02:30.465,0:02:31.447
you can ask them

0:02:43.246,0:02:44.599
The fourth one is

0:02:50.461,0:02:52.691
對了 has two different meanings

0:02:52.691,0:02:54.761
It can mean “Right! / Correct!”

0:02:54.761,0:02:55.959
But in TV dramas

0:02:55.959,0:02:57.500
and in daily conversations,

0:02:57.500,0:02:59.368
usually it doesn’t mean this

0:02:59.368,0:03:00.758
In daily conversation,

0:03:00.758,0:03:02.300
we often use this phrase to

0:03:02.300,0:03:04.549
bring up something we suddenly think of,

0:03:04.549,0:03:07.463
so it’s kind of like “by the way” in English

0:03:07.463,0:03:09.843
So 對了 can be used as a starter

0:03:09.843,0:03:12.547
when you want to talk about a particular subject

0:03:12.547,0:03:14.897
that might not be directly related to

0:03:14.897,0:03:16.407
the previous conversation

0:03:25.108,0:03:26.548
對了 can also be used to

0:03:26.548,0:03:28.077
give further information:

0:03:41.987,0:03:43.061
The next one is

0:03:54.065,0:03:55.764
我 is “I”,

0:03:55.764,0:03:58.806
跟你 is “to you, with you”, and

0:03:58.806,0:04:00.338
說 is “to say”

0:04:00.338,0:04:02.256
It can be translated into

0:04:02.256,0:04:03.553
“let me tell you something”.

0:04:03.553,0:04:04.879
In daily conversation,

0:04:04.879,0:04:06.359
we often use this phrase

0:04:06.359,0:04:08.713
when we want others to pay attention to

0:04:08.713,0:04:10.380
what we’re going to say

0:04:19.528,0:04:21.931
If you’re talking to more than one person,

0:04:21.931,0:04:24.539
and you want all of them to pay attention to

0:04:24.539,0:04:25.882
what you’re going to say,

0:04:25.882,0:04:29.231
then you can change the “你” into “你們”

0:04:29.231,0:04:31.639
and say “我跟你們說”

0:04:33.377,0:04:35.801
Here are some alternatives that you can use

0:04:35.801,0:04:38.048
Other than saying “我跟你說”,

0:04:38.048,0:04:41.867
you can also say “我跟你講”

0:04:41.867,0:04:45.275
or “我告訴你”

0:04:45.275,0:04:46.987
And for 我跟你們說,

0:04:46.987,0:04:51.069
you can use 我跟你們講

0:04:51.069,0:04:54.452
or 我告訴你們

0:04:54.452,0:04:55.602
to replace it

0:04:55.602,0:04:57.272
But remember that these phrases

0:04:57.272,0:04:59.418
are kind of casual and informal,

0:04:59.418,0:05:01.653
so it’s a bit impolite to use them to

0:05:01.653,0:05:03.592
talk to people who are older than you

0:05:03.592,0:05:04.507
But you can use them

0:05:04.507,0:05:06.259
when you talk to your friends

0:05:06.259,0:05:08.107
Okay, let’s take a break and let me

0:05:08.107,0:05:10.663
introduce you the sponsor for today’s video —

0:05:10.663,0:05:11.788
Skillshare

0:05:11.788,0:05:14.400

0:05:14.400,0:05:15.978
where you can learn new things

0:05:15.978,0:05:17.532
and develop new skills

0:05:17.532,0:05:18.742
I’ve been learning a lot

0:05:18.742,0:05:20.741
and exploring different skills

0:05:20.741,0:05:23.463
after I started taking classes on it

0:05:23.463,0:05:25.445
Lately, I saw that they have a class —

0:05:29.979,0:05:31.899
by Justin Michael Williams

0:05:31.899,0:05:33.813
I always want to try meditation

0:05:33.813,0:05:35.604
because sometimes I feel like

0:05:35.604,0:05:37.447
I have a lot on my mind

0:05:37.447,0:05:39.558
and that prevents me from concentrating

0:05:39.558,0:05:41.747
and it really consumes my energy

0:05:41.747,0:05:44.706
I’ve actually tried meditation several times before,

0:05:44.706,0:05:45.896
but it didn’t work

0:05:45.896,0:05:47.103
This class helps

0:05:47.103,0:05:48.667
dispel common myths about

0:05:48.667,0:05:51.008
meditation to find what works for me,

0:05:51.008,0:05:53.605
so I’d like to try it and see how it works

0:05:53.612,0:05:54.928
If you also want to try

0:05:54.928,0:05:56.528
and learn something new online,

0:05:56.528,0:05:58.899

0:06:29.150,0:06:31.179
Alright, let’s move on to the next one

0:06:34.950,0:06:37.252
真的嗎 means “Really?”,

0:06:37.252,0:06:38.952
you might also hear people say

0:06:38.952,0:06:40.386
“真的假的？”

0:06:45.104,0:06:47.224
or “真假？”

0:06:50.333,0:06:51.980
They all mean the same thing

0:06:51.980,0:06:53.586
You can use these phrases

0:06:53.586,0:06:55.176
when you want a confirmation for

0:06:55.176,0:06:56.271
what you just heard

0:06:56.271,0:06:58.227
or you can use them to simply show

0:06:58.227,0:07:00.676
that you’re surprised about what you heard

0:07:13.907,0:07:15.141
If someone says something

0:07:15.141,0:07:17.829
that makes you feel surprised and unbelievable,

0:07:17.829,0:07:20.838
in this case, 真的嗎 might not be enough for

0:07:20.838,0:07:22.886
expressing how surprised you are,

0:07:22.886,0:07:24.330
then you can use this phrase:

0:07:36.976,0:07:38.477
Let’s move on to the next one

0:07:46.024,0:07:47.204
When we have no idea

0:07:47.204,0:07:48.939
what to do with a situation

0:07:48.939,0:07:51.165
or don’t know how to deal with a problem,

0:07:51.165,0:07:52.965
people often ask “怎麼辦？”

0:07:52.965,0:07:55.545
and hope that someone can give some advice

0:08:00.296,0:08:01.389
The next one is

0:08:12.944,0:08:14.974
You can also say “等等”

0:08:20.243,0:08:22.297
Finally, the last one for today is

0:08:28.960,0:08:30.798
想得美 is used to tell someone

0:08:30.798,0:08:32.649
that the thing they want to happen

0:08:32.649,0:08:34.642
is definitely not going to happen

0:08:49.019,0:08:50.412
Alright, that’s it for today!
