Today's lesson we are going to go to this cinema
电影院
and what happens sometimes at the cinema
is that you cannot find your seat
Yes, because it's too dark
太暗了
So maybe the movie has started already here in a hurry
or it's too dark
and then you're like,
oh god, where's my seat
or you take the wrong seat
So how do we say seat?
位置
So make sure you listen out for this word
and let's check the dialogue now
不好意思
这是我的位置
是吗
我看一下
你看

不好意思
这是我的位置
是吗
我看一下
你看
15号
我做错了
不好意思
这是我的位置
是吗
我看一下
你看
15号
我做错了
So the problem here is that one person is sitting in the wrong seat
So for now, let's check out the dialogue line by line
不好意思
这是我的位置
Excuse me, this is my seat
不好意思
这是我的位置
Excuse me, this is my seat
不好意思
这是我的位置
是吗
我看一下
Really?
Let me see
是吗
我看一下
Oh, really? Let me see
是吗
我看一下
你看
15号
Look
Number 15
你看
15号
Look
Number 15
你看
15号
我做错了
Oh, I took the wrong seat
啊,我做错了
Oh, I took the wrong seat
啊,我做错了
So there's a woman here who goes to the cinema and searches for her seat
but when she finds it, she finds it to be taken already
So what does she say then?
不好意思
这是我的位置
Okay, in the beginning we have a set phrase that each and every one of you should know
because it's very common and very good to use
it's excuse me or sorry
不好意思
Excuse me and then she goes on and says this is my seat
so how do we say seat again in Chinese?
位置
and how would I say my seat?
我的位置
Okay, in the front of this we have two other words
the first word is this one
and then there is a verb following which is to be
so this is like this is my seat
这是我的位置
Lin, is it normal to have your seats assigned and cinemas in China?
Yes, of course
Okay, because I think there are some countries like the US
where you don't assign seats to your customers
but for instance in Germany it's very common to have that or normal
and so it is in China
so this guy sits on the wrong seat
and after being told so he's like really?
是吗
so here we just have the verb to be and a question particle
so actually if he translated literally it's just like is it?
是吗
and we use this to express like some kind of doubt or a surprise
so he's like really oh let me check
我看一下
so here we have this eye and to look
我看
and then after that we have a phrase
a two word phrase what is that?
一下
okay if you look at this separately you have one and down
but together we use this to express like a certain or a short amount of time
so here it's actually like I'm investing a short amount of time
and look at something
我看一下
and you can find this a short amount of time
一下 together with many other things as well
so for instance I could say if I'm very tired
what would I say like
我睡一下
I'll like take a short nap or let's say we've both been hiking
like for hours and hours and my legs are like oh god
so tired or they start hurting and I need to sit down for a moment
我坐一下
so like sit down for a moment and rest a bit
or if your mother or somebody else a friend calls you
and you want to go over for shortly
what do you say?
我去一下
you can use this for example as well to excuse yourself
when you're like in the middle of a conversation with some friends
and you're like oh like I need to go somewhere shortly
我去一下
so while the guy is checking his ticket
the woman has her ticket already and is showing it to him
你看十五号
so here it starts only with two words
and the first word is you and then together with look
你看
so here she just wants to draw the attention to the ticket
yeah you look
and you can use this short sentence pattern with
knee plus a verb for other things as well
so for example if you spot a rainbow somewhere
and you want your peer, your friend to look at it
you're like oh look a rainbow
你看彩虹
and this works as I said with other verbs as well
so for instance if you listen to a nice tune somewhere
a song somewhere and you're like oh listen up
你聽
or for example it works with smell as well
if you have a nice pasta for example
你聞
嗯
that's good
so it's mostly used for a kind of command
but it's not really aggressive
it's more like a spontaneous sharing of information
or of something that's happening
so you draw the attention to that one
okay and then after that she's like
okay look at it and she tells him the seat number
she has on her ticket
你看十五号
okay so for numbers
we can use the number as an accounting
and then just add how in the end
so yeah here we have number 15
十五号
what would be for example number 10
十号
and so on and so forth
the guy then notices that indeed he's set down on the wrong seat
啊
我做错了
so here we have a phrase that is made up of two words
the first is the verb to sit down
and this is combined with the word fault or mistake
做错
做错
so we use this to say that he's set down wrongly
and then we have a particle after that
which is it
了
we use this 了
to indicate that something just changed
or that's like a spontaneous reaction to him noticing
that he did something wrong
okay and this is all combined just with the subject i
and then it's i set down wrongly
我做错了
and we can use this verb plus做
structure to indicate other things that can go wrong
for instance what happens to me still
sometimes is when I write my address in Chinese
that I misspell it
写错地址了
写 is to write
and then写错 is to write something wrongly
so yeah I wrote my address wrongly
or let's say I want to call a friend
and I'm like way is this joy
不是我是庆林
做你打错了
oops so打 is to call somebody
so打错 is to call wrongly
so I just call the wrong person
and you may hear that when you call anyone on the phone
you're like no you call wrong
你打错了
okay I have another idea
Lin how would you tell somebody that his answer was incorrect
打错
so here we have the verb to answer
打
and then again错
wrongly
you can actually say that something is correct as well
using a similar structure just the verb
and then the word for correct
打对
so this would be to answer correctly
and this works with all the others as well
okay I have a short thing here that I want to practice with you
okay
can you guess my zodiac
let me think
金牛做
Taurus
打错了
水平做
Aquarius
打错了
那是什麼
I'll tell you later
but for now let's go back and check the dialogue again
