7
23160

پێتوایه ئه‌م رسته‌یه ده‌رباره‌ی رابردوه، یان ئێستا یان داهاتوو؟
00:30
So: "I am about to

8
30985
3115
"I am about to clean my room."
كه‌وایه: "من ژوره‌كه‌م پاك ده‌كه‌مه‌وه "
00:34
If you said this is about the
future, you are correct.
9
34100
3182
ئه‌گه‌ر وتبێتت ده‌رباره‌ی داهاتوه، ئه‌وا راستتگوتوه
00:37
We use "about to" when we're talking about

10
37307
6740
ئێمه "about to" به‌كاردێنین كاتێك قسه ده‌كه‌ین ده‌رباره‌ی كردنی شتێك له داهاتوویه‌كی زۆر نزیك
00:44
We're not talking about
far in the future.
11
44072
2489
ئێمه ده‌رباره‌ی داهاتووی دوور قسه‌ناكه‌ین
00:46
We usually use "will" for that.
12
46586
2271
بۆ ئه‌وه زیاتر"will" به‌كاردێنین
00:48
We're talking about very, very soon like in
the next five minutes or in the next couple
13
48882
5870
ئێمه قسه‌ده‌كه‌ین ده‌رباره‌ی زۆر زۆر نزیك، وه‌ك پێنج خوله‌كی داهاتوو، یان دوو خوله‌كی داهاتوو
00:54
of minutes.
14
54777
1290
00:56
So, I am about to give you
some examples of "about to".
15
56092
5500
كه‌وایه من هه‌ندێك نمونه‌تان ده‌ده‌مێ ده‌رباره‌ی "about to"
01:01
So we have here "I" as a subject: "I am about
to", and then after "about to" we have a verb.
16
61617
8420
كه‌وایه لێره‌دا "I" بكه‌ره
""I am about to" وه دوای "about to" ڤێرب دێت
01:10
I put this in colour to help
you remember it better.
17
70090
4140
من ره‌نگم كردوون تا یارمه‌تیت بدات باشتر تێیبگه‌یت
01:14
We have: "You are about
to" and the verb.
18
74255
4460
وه ئه‌مه‌یان : "You are about to" دواتردیسان ڤێرب دێت
01:18
"She or he is about
to" and a verb.
19
78850
4080
چ كچ بێت یان كوڕ ئینجا "about to" دواتریش ڤێرب
01:22
"We are about to" and a verb.
20
82930
2299
گه‌ر بۆ خۆمان (كه‌سی یه‌كه‌می كۆ )به‌كاری بێنین ئێمه ئینجا "about to" دواتریش ڤێرب
01:25
"You guys are about
to" and a verb.
21
85229
2981
ئێوه جه‌ماعه‌ت(كه‌سی دووه‌می كۆ) دواتریش ڤێرب
01:28
I've put here: "You guys", which is a bit
informal, but when we're talking about a group
22
88210
4060
لێره‌دا وشه‌ی "You guys" م به‌كارهێناوه، ئه‌مه وشه‌یه بڕێك ناره‌سمیه، به‌ڵام كاتێك ده‌رباره‌ی گروپێك كه‌س قسه ده‌كه‌ین
01:32
of people in an informal situation we can
use: "You guys", and: "They are about to"
23
92270
6187
له كاتێكدا كه پێویستی به ره‌سمیات نه‌بێت، ده‌توانین ده‌سته‌واژه‌ی "You guys" به‌كاربێنین. وه "about to" له گه‌ڵ كه‌سی سێیه‌میش به‌كاردێت
01:38
with a verb.
24
98482
1241
دواتریش ڤێرب دێت
01:39
So what can we do
with the verbs here?
25
99748
2605
كه‌وایه ئێمه چی له ڤێربانه ده‌كه‌ین لێره‌دا
01:42
Well, if you look up here I have:
"I am about to clean my room."
26
102378
5836
ئه‌گه‌ر ته‌ماشای سه‌ره‌وه‌بكه‌یت، لێره‌دا
"I am about to clean my room"
01:48
We keep the verb in the
infinitive in this case.
27
108239
3390
ئێمه ڤێربه‌كه‌مان له‌شێوه‌ی "infinitive" داناوه
infinitive واته به‌بێ هیچ زیاده‌یه‌كی وه‌ك (ed, ing)
01:51
"I am about to study English.",
28
111654
3485
من وانه‌ی ئینگلیزی ده‌خوێنم
01:55
"You are about to
listen to me speak.",
29
115164
4349
تۆ گوێ له قسه‌كانی من ده‌گریت
01:59
"She is about to watch TV.",
30
119538
3903
ئه‌و سه‌یری ته‌له‌ڤیزیۆن ده‌كات
02:03
"We are about to
go to the gym.",
31
123466
4103
ئێمه ئه‌چین بۆ هۆڵی له‌شجوانی
02:07
"You guys are about to
listen to Justin Bieber.",
32
127594
5176
ئێوه جه‌ماعه‌ت گوێ له جه‌ستن بیبه‌ر ده‌گرن
02:12
"They are about to
take a shower."
33
132795
5373
ئه‌وان خۆیان ده‌شۆن
02:18
Okay?
34
138193
806
روونه؟
02:19
So now let's do some together, let's put
the verb in the proper form together.
35
139024
4930
كه‌وایه ئێستا با پێكه‌وه ده‌ستبكه‌ین به‌دانانی ڤێرب ی گونجاو بۆجوابدانه‌وه‌ی پرسیاره‌كان
02:24
Okay, so just to remember: When we're talking
about "about to", we're talking about the
36
144769
6041
باشه، ته‌نها بۆ بیرهێنانه‌وه: كاتێكه ئێمه ده‌رباره‌ی "about to" ده‌دوێین، ئێمه ده‌رباره‌ی داهاتوو قسه ئه‌كه‌ین
02:30
future and usually we're talking about either
the immediate future, meaning the next 5-10
37
150810
6390
زۆربه‌ی كات ده‌رباره‌ی داهاتوه‌یه‌كی زۆر نزیك قسه‌ده‌كه‌ین، وه‌ك ده‌رباره‌ی پێنج یا ده ده‌قه‌ی داهاتوو
02:37
minutes or the next couple of hours
or we can also be talking about soon.
38
157200
5563
یان دوو كاتژمێری داهاتوو، وه ده‌توانین ده‌رباره‌ی كاتێكی زوو قسه‌بكه‌ین
02:42
Soon is different for different people, so I
might be talking about in the next couple
39
162788
4477
كاتێكی زوو، له كه‌سێكه‌وه بۆ كه‌سێكی تر ده‌گۆڕێت، كه‌وایه ره‌نگه ده‌رباره‌ی دوو رۆژی داهاتوو قسه‌بكه‌ین
02:47
of days or in the next couple of weeks,
but what I really mean is soon. Okay?
40
167290
5080
یان دوو هه‌فته‌ی داهاتوو، به‌ڵام ئه‌مه به‌ته‌واوه‌تی مانای نزیك ده‌دات. روونه؟
02:52
So I can say: "I am about to go on vacation",
and that means soon I will go on vacation.
41
172370
7209
كه‌وایه ده‌توانین بڵێین "I am about to go on vacation" ئه‌مه‌واته‌ی ئه‌وه‌یه به زووی ده‌چین بۆ گه‌شت

03:02

verb into the proper form?
44
186131
3297
چۆن ئه‌م ڤێربه بگۆرین بۆ شێوه‌یه‌كی گونجاو؟
03:09
"I am about to..."
45
189577
2655

It's very easy to
use "about to".

201818

به‌كارهێنانی "about to". زۆر ئاسانه
03:23
We just need the subject, "am",
