哈囉，大家好！I’m Grace.
In today’s video,
I’ll introduce 10 commonly used Chinese phrases
in TV dramas
These phrases are very colloquial
You can also use them
in your daily conversation
Also, this video is sponsored by Skillshare,
but more about that later
那我們話不多說，現在就開始吧！ 那我们话不多说，现在就开始吧！
The first one is
If your friend seems to be upset or angry,
you can ask them “怎麼了？”,
so it’s kind of a way to show
that you care about the person
and also to know what happened
"怎麼了？” can also be used as a response
when someone grabs your attention
and wants to talk to you
You might also hear people say
It sounds more casual
Sometimes, you might hear people say
both can be used to ask “What happened?”,
but 怎麼回事 expresses
a stronger feeling of concern
It’s more serious
and people use this to ask for an explanation of
what happened or how things happened
The next one is
This can be used with the first one
When you see your friend
and they seem to be unhappy
or don’t feel well,
you can ask them
The fourth one is
對了 has two different meanings
It can mean “Right! / Correct!”
But in TV dramas
and in daily conversations,
usually it doesn’t mean this
In daily conversation,
we often use this phrase to
bring up something we suddenly think of,
so it’s kind of like “by the way” in English
So 對了 can be used as a starter
when you want to talk about a particular subject
that might not be directly related to
the previous conversation
對了 can also be used to
give further information:
The next one is
我 is “I”,
跟你 is “to you, with you”, and
說 is “to say”
It can be translated into
“let me tell you something”.
In daily conversation,
we often use this phrase
when we want others to pay attention to
what we’re going to say
If you’re talking to more than one person,
and you want all of them to pay attention to
what you’re going to say,
then you can change the “你” into “你們”
and say “我跟你們說”
Here are some alternatives that you can use
Other than saying “我跟你說”,
you can also say “我跟你講”
or “我告訴你”
And for 我跟你們說,
you can use 我跟你們講
or 我告訴你們
to replace it
But remember that these phrases
are kind of casual and informal,
so it’s a bit impolite to use them to
talk to people who are older than you
But you can use them
when you talk to your friends
Okay, let’s take a break and let me
introduce you the sponsor for today’s video —

I’ve been learning a lot
and exploring different skills
after I started taking classes on it
Lately, I saw that they have a class —
by Justin Michael Williams
I always want to try meditation
because sometimes I feel like
I have a lot on my mind
and that prevents me from concentrating
and it really consumes my energy
I’ve actually tried meditation several times before,
but it didn’t work
This class helps
dispel common myths about
meditation to find what works for me,
so I’d like to try it and see how it works

Alright, let’s move on to the next one
真的嗎 means “Really?”,
you might also hear people say
“真的假的？”
or “真假？”
They all mean the same thing
You can use these phrases
when you want a confirmation for
what you just heard
or you can use them to simply show
that you’re surprised about what you heard
If someone says something
that makes you feel surprised and unbelievable,
in this case, 真的嗎 might not be enough for
expressing how surprised you are,
then you can use this phrase:
Let’s move on to the next one
When we have no idea
what to do with a situation
or don’t know how to deal with a problem,
people often ask “怎麼辦？”
and hope that someone can give some advice
The next one is
You can also say “等等”
Finally, the last one for today is
想得美 is used to tell someone
that the thing they want to happen
is definitely not going to happen
Alright, that’s it for today!
