In Chinese as an English student I found the English phrase excuse me extremely useful, you can use it in many circumstances my students have asked me if there is a literal translation or phrase I don't like in Chinese unfortunately there isn't in this lesson we are going to talk about how saying sorry in different circumstances scenario number one you want to get someone's attention so you can spank them and say nihao it's easy and polite in the restaurant you can tell a waiter niihau the antenna If you are lost in the mall and trying to find the elevator you can ask a seller or buyer saying nihao.

Scenario number two, you are passing through a large crowd, you could say the literal translation of this is water a little far away. so you are on a crowded train at a rush

hour

Hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to ask. a teacher where I will answer more common questions about Chinese the question for this lesson is how do I say no to an invitation politely? Chinese people are known to be very friendly and hospitable, especially when they know you are from another country and

learn

ing Chinese. They will probably invite you to their house for dinners or parties that you may not want to go to. How do you decline these invitations without being rude? It would be ideal if a young and simple girl said no, thank you, it would do, but the reality is that the Chinese always try to avoid using the word no to reject an invitation.

Typically, you will first apologize for not being able to attend and then give reasons why you can't go, like in the following conversation. Are you free tomorrow? have dinner at my house I'm so sorry I have to go to a class tomorrow night let's do it another time in this conversation person b didn't say no, instead he explained why he couldn't go and suggested doing it another time. is the Chinese way you don't want to say the word can't use or don't want to and you'll want to explain why many times you don't even have to give the real reason, you can use a very vague term.

Well, you'll be at the shoot I have other things to attend to or what you'll be at the impact I have other plans so if you don't want to go to a party and you don't feel like giving the real thing The reason why you might say no or reject an invitation It's not always easy. I think it is not only difficult in Chinese culture but also in many other cultures. It's human nature that you don't want to say the word no, I hope after today's lesson. You will find a way to say no appropriately and politely in Chinese.

That's all for today and see you. in the next episode, hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to ask a teacher where I will answer the most common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is how do I use the final particle ah in the Chinese language, especially in colloquial Chinese, you will often see the particles. at the end of a sentence they generally do not have any substantial meaning in themselves, but they play a very important role in the intonation of a sentence.

We call those final particles words like ma ba, they are all particles that appear at the end of a sentence to show the speaker's emotions today we will talk about one of the most common final particles ah, in general terms, ah can be put at the end of a greeting a question an exclamation or imperative can often soften the tone strengthen the emotion and make the conversation more colloquial let's look at some examples when you want to say who it is you can say shay this sounds very intense but if you say the tone is much softer and less interpersonal to agree with someone you can use the word etc many times you will hear how in conversations, for example julian, so many people here did hinduja, yes, it is like that every day. tnt is an exam that we use ah to emphasize the fact that the weather is actually very pleasant, it is an imperative, you will often hear from parents.

Tell that to your children so that they hurry up and eat their food. Here is another example of how to use ah hua. There are many animals in the zoo, such as tigers, lions, elephants, camels, giraffes, etc., and here it is used when listing a number of things in general spoken language, one is the final particle that we use in colloquial language to make speech smoother, less abrupt and more conversational.

Chinese money is called RMB. This is a real people's abbreviation of B. currency in an exchange rate table, the unit for rnb is always the yuan, however, in daily life people often use quite a lot instead of a. The answer is very simple. un is used in formal writings and choi is used in everyday colloquial language to ask how much something costs. you can say how much this is, then you can get an answer like o ashuquai, the same rule applies to jiao and mao jiao is the formal 10 cents equivalent to 0.1 yen, the most informal way to say is mao, for example, excuse me , how much is it? these 20 cents or 5 yuan and 50 cents and many times people don't say the mouth at the end when there are kwai and mao, so instead of quiet umao, people could just say or kwa wu, Chinese people don't use fun anymore, this is the monetary unit for one cent, the smallest money in your pocket would be idiot or imao 10 cents like any other currency.

Chinese money has coins and bills or notes. The coins are called in beat, which literally means hard money.

Hello everyone, welcome to Ask a Teacher where I answer most of your common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is: do Chinese people use am and pm when talking about time? The answer is no, although there are people in China, mostly well-educated people, who know what am and pm mean. Most Chinese do not use am and pm in informal situations. For example, on a train timetable, you often see the 24-

hour

format for the time, such as 0 7 30 21 20. In spoken language, people often use xiang xiao zhao shang and wan shang to be specific xiaowu means morning xiaou is late zao sha is early morning and finally waishang is night, so to say 10 a.m. m.

In normal spoken language you would say shanghu shudiyan to say 3 p. m. We use xiao san dien generally speaking, if it is before 9 a.m. m., you can say zhao shang tsitian 7 a.m. m. because it's still early in the morning if it's after 6 p.m. can you say wai shantidian 7 p.m. because it is late at night if the time is between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. we use zhong which means noon let's see how we say the following times 6 20 a.m. 9 30 a.m. here it means half 12 p.m. 1:30 p.m. m. or 10:25 p.m. m. and do you remember how to ask about the time?

I will answer most of your common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is what is the correct order of words in a sentence, as opposed to the system of pronunciation and writing.

Chinese sentence structure is not so confusing and exotic for most simple sentences. The word order in Chinese is similar to that in English we see some basic sentences of svo which are sentences with subject plus verb plus object word order I love you the subject is wah the verb i and the object ni just like in English come noodles the subject is ta the verb and the object mian, if you want to add a time phrase in the sentence, you usually put this phrase after the subject, for example, he eats noodles on Tuesdays or every, did he take a shower last night?

If you want to add a place in a sentence, such as where someone does. something you also put after the subject before the verb let's look at a couple of examples he eats noodles at home my good friend works in London What happens if we have a time and a place at the same time? Normally we put the time after the subject and then put the verb or verb plus object, for example, my good friend worked in London last year, they watched a movie in a cinema on Saturday night, of course there are exceptions to the rules and many times the components are uttered in different cases, but the above word order is the basic foundation for Chinese sentence structure, how did you find it quite interesting?

You have more questions? Leave them in the comments below and I'll try to answer them. Goodbye, hello everyone. Eero, welcome to ask a teacher where I will answer most of your common questions in Chinese. questions The question for this lesson is what are the taboos that I should be careful of in Chinese culture? The biggest taboo in Chinese culture would be to mention the word death or anything related to it, especially on happy occasions like Xinyin New Year's wedding only or birthdays in China people hate words so much that they even hate the number 4 that sounds the same but it has a different tone hospitals sometimes don't even have a slow fourth floor apparently no one wants to go to that floor when choosing your liang chen zhu lucky date to get married, couples will avoid dates with the number four, like the fourth day In the lunar calendar or nonli chu su, on the other hand, the number six, liu eight pa jio, are considered lucky numbers in Chinese culture, there are other taboos that are relatively minor, for example, you don't want to wear a green hat because it means your wife or partner is cheating on you, you don't want to put the chopsticks in a container because the balls with the chopsticks stuck in them are for the deceased.

I don't want to share a pair li because sharing a pair is fun li, which has the same pronunciation as friendly to separate or separate when given gifts. Try to avoid giving umbrella san and chong clock because the pronunciation of san is close to sen which also means to split or split into two parts, the pronunciation of zhong is the same as zhong and zhong means to see a deceased person for the last time before of being buried, so to review, let's make a list of all the do's and don'ts. we just talked about we are safe don't say death don't wear a green hat we're talking a lot don't put your chopsticks in a bowl we're friendly don't share a pear we're the sunset we don't Don't give away umbrellas or watches.

The question for this lesson is how do I decipher Chinese characters that I don't know like we mentioned. In an initial lesson you need to know at least 5,000 hands to be able to read, does that mean you have to memorize each one of them? Not necessarily each character is made of components that often indicate or give clues about what the character is. It means that these components are called radicals or piempan busho. Learning some common grids will help you recognize, remember and reproduce characters, for example, the middle of the character is made of two radicals, which means sun and moon, when you put the radical sun and moon together. the moon we obtain the mean of the character.

The most common meaning is bright many times when you see the radical er in a character, it often has something to do with the sun like this character tsao which means early and the word sao shang which means morning shrey means water this grid is its variation when you see them in a character it usually means that the character has something to do with water c to wash his river high ocean hua means fire and this radical is its variation when you see hua and this radical the character is usually related to fire or heat some examples are rue hot show to burn light and yen smoke yen and this character is radical for something related to speech, such as saying language word promise and this radical is radical for anything related to food and drinks, for example, fun food or rice bao uh hungry restaurant tengwen learning Chinese characters takes a lot of time and effort, but the result is sure to be rewarding after learning some basic Chinese characters, you will even find it easier to navigate other countries like Japan as Hans is also part of their writing . system so if you decided to learn hanzu I recommend that you start with the radicals, how was it very interesting for you?

Ask a Teacher where I will answer the most common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is what is the difference between Mandarin and Chinese. Sometimes people say they speak Chinese and sometimes they use the word tutoring. The two words seem almost interchangeable. Mandarin, also known as Standard Chinese Pu Tonghua, is the official language of mainland China and Taiwan. It is also one of the four official languages ​​of Singapore. It is the national language taught in schools and is based on the standard dialect spoken in Beijing, the capital of China, while Chinese is a more general term referring to a group of languages ​​spoken by the Han people, An ethnic group from East Asia, the Chinese language includes a variety of regional dialects such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese, etc.

In fact, each city has its own dialect when people from different areas speak to each other.yes in their own dialect, most likely they cannot understand each other, for example, in Shanghai people greet each other by saying no, while in Cantonese people say ho, that is why a common dialect is needed for more effective communication . Throughout the country with a standard dialect we can all greet each other by saying niha and no one gets confused since most Chinese speak Mandarin when people refer to the Chinese language they often mean Mandarin.

Where I will answer the most common Chinese questions. The question for this lesson is what are Chinese characters? hanzo chinese characters are locograms these are symbols used to represent whole words they are used in chinese written in english we use an alphabet to spell each word however most letters alone have no particular meaning in Chinese characters come with a signed pronunciation in their own definitions, you can combine certain characters to form words, most Chinese words are made up of one to three characters, for example, i, ice cream, as you may know, Chinese culture has had a great influence on all the cultures of East Asia.

Chinese characters are excellent examples of which hanzo has been adapted and modified in several other Asian languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. There are 50,000 Chinese characters, but don't be scared, you only need between three thousand and five thousand to be considered literate, it may still seem like a lot and it takes time to memorize them, but it is not an impossible task. You can start by learning the components of the characters that are called pian pam busho radicals. It will make it much easier to recognize, remember and reproduce characters, for example, the middle of the character is made up of two radicals and the sun and the moon, when we put the radical sun and moon we get the mean of the character, the most common meaning for the symbol is correct, how was it?

Hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to Ask a Teacher, where I will answer the most common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is what is ping? Ping is the most commonly used standard phonetic system for transliterating Chinese, which means spelling Chinese using Roman letters when you look up a word in a Chinese dictionary, it is always assigned to each Chinese character, it is a way of reading. and pronounce Chinese words through English letters, for example, han written as h a n is the p for the han symbol as in hanzo ren, the han people, an ethnic group of east asia, although most chinese people can read pinging , it is not the substitute for hans or chinese characters this is because pinging is the sound system in chinese while hans is the writing system here is an example of the sentence i can read chinese characters in pining and in hanzo Warrior Sometimes people wonder if they can only learn ping and ignore real Chinese characters.

The short answer is that there are no Chinese books and newspapers written in Chinese characters without the use of paint, unless they are written for children who are still learning to read, so

Welcome to ask a teacher where I will answer most of your common Chinese knowledge. questions The question for this lesson is what are traditional and simplified characters in Chinese? Do I need to learn that both traditional characters are the original Chinese characters? They were used in China before the 1950s and are still used in many areas outside mainland China, including Hong Kong. Taiwan and other Chinese-speaking Southeast Asian countries to increase literacy.

Simplified Chinese has been adopted, which has fewer strokes. It was established as the official writing system by the government in mainland China, so today Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Traditional Chinese is mainly used. Outside of mainland China, let's look at how Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese differ. happy study weather tnt tnt Because of the similarities between the two writing systems, someone who is familiar with one writing system may be able to decipher characters in the other Traditional Chinese It is often considered more authentic because it is rooted directly in the forms ancient. However, it is not necessary to learn both at the same time, just choose one depending on where you want to visit or live.

Hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to ask a teacher where I will answer most of your common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is what are the different tones. In Chinese, many Chinese learners find tones quite difficult because intonation in Chinese is very special and very different from most other languages. There are four accented tones in Chinese, let's review them now. The first tone is loud and constant. The second tone, Arjun, begins with a. tone a little lower and goes up ah the feeling of the third tone is even lower, first it goes down and then goes up ah the position of the fourth tone starts high and then drops sharply ah, in addition to the previous four tones, there is a special tone called neusha tong which does not come with any mark on top to make the tone neutral try saying it like in the first tone except you say it in a lighter and shorter way like ah it is not only important but crucial to master different tones in Chinese , there are so many words that come with the same thing in spelling, if you don't get the tones right, your mispronounced tones are very likely to lead to misunderstandings or even embarrassment.

A quick example of the ping and tone for hanyu is with the fourth falling tone in han hanyu the ping. and the tone for hanyu has the second rising tone in han, they sound quite similar, but hanyu is Chinese language and hanyu is actually Korean language, don't confuse them and be very careful with the tones, how was it very interesting?

The question for this lesson is how. Do I pronounce p and show c q x z d h Most initials or p consonants have very similar pronunciations to their English counterparts, but there are some sounds that may not sound the way you expect. Now let's look at some of the hard-to-pronounce consonants. Chinese ping c sounds like in Thai vegetable or dish your vinegar and tai toa to do something wrong zi sounds like zu as in hanzu Chinese characters are es sol tzuji oneself q sounds like chi but with a flat tongue and a flat mouth, for example t energy tian mani tinti relatives another internal sound that may be different from English or your native language is very common Chinese like zhang jo jung and in this word zhongguo Chinese ch sounds like the first staccato sound with the tip of the tongue raised against the heart paddle.

Try this guy's war junjou Pearl Jong, as some of you may. I wonder: aren't consonants or opinion initials supposed to be silent without the vibration of the vocal cords? Why do Chinese teachers and friends say forever instead of but well, it's because when Chinese learn p and in school they are taught to pronounce them with a vowel to make the sound clearer and easier to say, so Chinese people can pronounce all the initials, since you can pronounce all these words now.

See you in the next episode, bye, hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to ask a teacher where I will answer the most common questions about Chinese. The question for this lesson is what is the pronunciation rule for pou and e when you study Chinese. You've probably seen these two characters often. poo and are very, very common, but you may notice that their tones change when they come before certain words, for example, it is the second rising tone but it is the fourth falling tone in buhao e, since in the number one it is pronounced like ee but in yang it. it becomes the second tone in ichi it is the fourth tone it seems very confusing right don't worry there are some rules we can follow to use the correct tones when bull is used alone it is always the fourth tone boo when buu is followed by a character with a fourth tone changes to the second tone bull, for example bull when buu is followed by a number fourth tone, which are the first second and third tone, is pronounced like the fourth tone, like when using e as a number, it is the first flat tone like in er sensu when e is followed by a fourth tone, it changes to the second tone when e is followed by a number four, the tone becomes the fourth tone now you know the rules, how do you pronounce this phrase?

Let's work backwards, the second e is followed by a fourth yang tone so e here should be the second rising tone now the buu here is followed by a second e tone so bu here should be the fourth tone now the first e is followed by a torus fourteen so the first e itself should be the second tone, so problem solved, this phrase is pronounced like this, how was it? Very interesting. You have more questions? Leave them in the comments below and I'll try to answer them. Hello everyone, Andrew, welcome to ask a teacher where can I.

Answer the most common questions in Chinese. The question for this lesson is: does niha really mean hello nihao and hai? Are these two greetings the same? They are not actually nihao in Chinese. It is a very formal greeting that is usually used when people meet each other for the first time. You can use it in personal introductions like nihao mali nihao hang gao si ngung shini or you can use nihao as a phrase to get a stranger's attention when you need to ask a question or a favor, for example, you need to get somewhere so you can stop the passerby.

Saying nihao or when you are ordering food in a restaurant, you can say well, if nihao is used in formal situations with people you don't really know, how you greet people you know well, you definitely don't need to use it. Nihao to your best friends when you meet them on the street, you can simply greet them in English or the Chinese version Hai, this is essentially a translation from English. hai is a very popular greeting among young people, so feel free to use it as you do in English if you haven't seen your friend for a while you can say hello mali or you can just say their name and then continue with small talk, for For example, it's time to eat, you can say mali, this is a very informal greeting, but it is so commonly used after all, eating is a big deal in Chinese culture.

What happens if you greet someone you know but they are your supervisor or superior? To make it more polite, you can address them by their title and then add a how toafter the title. Let's say you see your teacher, it is considered good manners to greet him by saying that if the teacher's name is lee, you will say lila, if you see your manager, lee, you can say li jin li hao many times at work, even if the person The person you are greeting is at the same level as you or even at a lower level, it is still common to address them by their last name followed by the title.
