Full transcript
Please place your clothes on the counter. We do alterations here at our Ryde dry cleaning shop. What would you like changed on these items?
यो पाइन्ट अलि लामो भयो, छोट्याउनुपर्यो। ज्याकेट पनि कम्मरमा खुकुलो छ, अलि मिलाउनुपर्यो। जम्मा दुईवटा कपडा हुन्। मेरो नाम नवीन गुरुङ हो।
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 →Certainly. Please try the trousers on with the shoes you normally wear. For the jacket, do you want a closer fit around the waist only?
हो, ज्याकेट कम्मरमा मात्रै मिलाइदिनुहोस्। काँध र बाहुला ठीक छन्। म यही जुत्ता लगाएर काममा जान्छु, त्यसैले यही लगाएर पाइन्टको नाप दिन्छु। दुवैको कति पर्छ?
The alterations for both items will cost fifty-five dollars altogether. That covers shortening the trousers and taking in the jacket at the waist, without dry cleaning.
पचपन्न डलर ठीक छ। अहिले सफा गराउनुपर्दैन। शुक्रबार एउटा कार्यक्रममा जानुपर्ने छ। बिहीबार मार्च बाह्र गतेसम्म तयार हुन्छ? त्यस दिन कामबाट फर्कँदा लिन आउन सक्छु।
Yes, both items will be ready on Thursday, 12 March. We close at six that evening. Would collecting them after work suit you, Mr Gurung?
हुन्छ, म बिहीबार साँझ साढे पाँच बजे आइपुग्छु। पाइन्ट चाहिँ बस्दा धेरै माथि नतानियोस्। अहिले लगाएर हेर्छु, अनि कति छोट्याउने भनेर देखाउँछु।
That works. I'll pin the hems while you're wearing the trousers, then mark the jacket. Please check the fit carefully before you change back into your clothes.
अहिले चिनो लगाएको ठाउँसम्मको लम्बाइ ठीक छ। ज्याकेट पनि हात चलाउँदा तानिएको छैन। यही नापमा गरिदिनुहोस्। पैसा अहिले तिर्नुपर्छ कि कपडा लिन आउँदा तिरे हुन्छ?
You can pay when you collect them. I'll give you a collection slip showing the agreed alterations, total price and pickup date. Please bring it along.
हुन्छ, लिन आउँदा पर्ची लिएर आउँछु र त्यही बेला पैसा तिर्छु। दुवै कपडा एकैचोटि लिन आउँछु। धन्यवाद, अब शुक्रबारको कार्यक्रमका लागि ढुक्क भएँ।
