Phil: Guess what?
Students: What?
Phil : I'm gonna write 6-7 lessons this month!
So "ねちょっと聞いて" literally means "Hey, listen a bit" but in English we say "Guess What?".
The answer is always "What?" after which the person usually tells you his big news.
For example:
A: Guess what?
B: What?
A: I'm getting married~!
B: Wow, congratulations!
But sometimes people say:
A: Guess what?
B: What?
A: Go on guess!
B: Umm, You're new girlfriend is an alien?
A: No, come on make a serious guess!
B: Huh, I don't know. I give up.
A: I won a trip to Italy!
B: Wow, great!
So the next time someone asks you "Guess what?" remember to reply "What?"!
Have a great weekend,
Phil
