- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Telugu with Fexingo. Episode 48! Luna: Hey Lucas! I'm ready. What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're going to a bus stop. We'll learn some useful phrases for catching a bus. Luna: Oh nice! I've been wanting to take the bus around town. Where do we start? Lucas: First word: bus stop. In Telugu, it's బస్ స్టాప్. Listen: బస్ స్టాప్. Luna: బస్ స్టాప్. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want to ask 'where is the bus stop?', you say 'బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ?' Repeat after me: బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ? Luna: బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ? That's a long one but I got it. Lucas: You did. Let's break it down: బస్ స్టాప్ is bus stop, ఎక్కడ means where. So it's 'bus stop where?'. Luna: Got it. So if I see a bus coming, I need to ask which bus it is. How do I say 'which bus'? Lucas: Great question. That's 'ఏ బస్?' Listen: ఏ బస్? Luna: ఏ బస్? Lucas: Yes! 'ఏ' means 'which'. So 'ఏ బస్?' means 'which bus?'. Luna: And then I need to know the fare. How do I ask 'how much is the ticket?' Lucas: That's 'టికెట్ ఎంత?' Listen: టికెట్ ఎంత? Luna: టికెట్ ఎంత? That sounds like 'ticket how much'. Lucas: Exactly. 'టికెట్' is ticket, 'ఎంత' is how much. You can use this at any ticket counter. Luna: Cool. And finally, when I want to get off, I need to tell the driver to stop. How do I say 'please stop here'? Lucas: That's a useful one. Say 'ఇక్కడ ఆపండి'. Listen: ఇక్కడ ఆపండి. Luna: ఇక్కడ ఆపండి. 'ఇక్కడ' is here, and 'ఆపండి' is stop, right? Lucas: Yes! You're catching on. 'దయచేసి' means please, but it's often dropped in casual speech. So 'ఇక్కడ ఆపండి' works fine. Luna: Let me try them all in a little scene. So I walk up to a bus stop and ask someone: బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ? Lucas: They point to the stop. Then you see a bus and ask: ఏ బస్? Luna: They tell you the number. You get on and ask the conductor: టికెట్ ఎంత? Lucas: He says the price. You pay and sit. Then when your stop comes, you say: ఇక్కడ ఆపండి. Luna: Perfect! I feel ready to ride the bus in Telugu now. Lucas: You are! Let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: బస్ స్టాప్. Luna: బస్ స్టాప్. Lucas: బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ? Luna: బస్ స్టాప్ ఎక్కడ? Lucas: ఏ బస్? Luna: ఏ బస్? Lucas: టికెట్ ఎంత? Luna: టికెట్ ఎంత? Lucas: ఇక్కడ ఆపండి. Luna: ఇక్కడ ఆపండి. Lucas: Excellent work! You've learned five essential bus phrases today.
