Full transcript
Welcome. What art supplies are you looking for today? We have stretched canvases in several sizes, and I can help you compare them.
म पेनरिथमा चित्रकला सिक्न शुरुआती कक्षामा भर्ना भएको छु। शिक्षकले चालीस बाइ पचास सेन्टिमिटरका छ वटा क्यानभास र वाटरकलर ब्रस ल्याउन भन्नुभएको छ। कुन लिँदा ठीक होला?
Your turn — don't read the rest yet. Hear this dialogue at native speed and interpret each segment aloud; AI marks what you kept, left out or changed, segment by segment. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
Interpret it aloud now →Those forty by fifty canvases cost twenty-four dollars each. Smaller ones cost less. This set of eight watercolour brushes costs thirty-six dollars. Would these suit you?
हुन्छ, आकार चाहिँ शिक्षकले भनेकै लिन्छु। छ वटा क्यानभास र ब्रसको एउटा सेट एउटै बिलमा राखिदिनुहोस्। यति सामान एकैचोटि किन्दा केही छुट पाइन्छ?
We offer ten percent off orders over one hundred and fifty dollars. Your six canvases and brush set total one hundred and eighty before discount.
त्यसो भए छुट लाग्ने रहेछ। कक्षामा एक्रिलिक र वाटरकलर दुवै सिक्ने हो। के यी क्यानभासमा वाटरकलर पनि लगाउन मिल्छ? गलत सामान किन्न चाहन्नँ।
These canvases are primed for acrylic painting. For watercolours, use watercolour paper instead. The brushes are suitable for watercolours, but keep them separate from acrylic brushes.
बुझेँ। एक्रिलिकका लागि क्यानभास र वाटरकलरका लागि कागज चाहिने रहेछ। वाटरकलर पेपर मसँग छ। यही छ वटा क्यानभास र ब्रसको सेट लिन्छु। छुटपछि जम्मा कति तिर्नुपर्छ?
After the discount, your total is one hundred and sixty-two dollars. I can put protective cardboard between the canvases and pack the brushes separately.
ठीक छ, त्यसरी नै प्याक गरिदिनुहोस्। म आजै लिएर जान्छु। बसमा लैजानुपर्ने भएकाले बोक्न सजिलो हुने गरी बलियो झोलामा पनि राखिदिन सक्नुहुन्छ?
Certainly. Please check that the canvas surfaces are undamaged before I wrap them. You can pay by card at this counter whenever you're ready.
हुन्छ, एकछिन हेर्छु। सबैको सतह ठीकै देखिन्छ। अब प्याक गरिदिनुहोस्। म कार्डबाट तिर्छु। खर्चको हिसाब राख्न बिल पनि सँगै लैजान्छु।
