Any Mandarin Speakers?

[Moonflight]

Only a week or so before mine! O.o

Ni you chong wu ma? Wo you yi zhi mao, ta hen ke ai. ^^


Oh-- There's a misspelling in your sig that's been bugging me-- It's "shining", not "shinning" XD

[wolfblazer]

Oh yeah. I saw that the other day and completely forgot to change it.
UGGH! Ill go now.

Okay. Im gonna honestly tell you I have no idea what you just said.
But imma gonna try work it out.

Er.. Well, the first one is definatly a question.
Hence the question mark and ma. xD
Ni is you. ^^
Okay. No idea.
The next one, is it like you have a cat or something.
Gosh im bad at this.
Then all I recognise in t he last part is ta, probably being he or she.
And hen which means very?

[Moonflight]

Ni you chong wu ma? = "Do you have any pets?" (Chong wu=pet; you=to have)
Also-- Ni you shen me chong wu? = "What pets do you have?" (Shen me=what)

Wo you yi zhi mao= "I have one cat" (Mao=cat; zhi=measure word for cat/dog/etc)

Ta hen ke ai= "He/it is cute" (Ke ai= cute; ta= depending on the character you use, either he, she, or it [referring to an animal]; hen can mean very or it can be used when decribing something/yourself-- wo hen mang=I am busy)

If I wanted to say "He is really cute" I would say "ta zhen ke ai" (Zhen="really"/"real")

Ta jiao "Todd" (He/it is called "Todd")

Todd is very cute ^^

XDDD Yayy... I'm giving you online Mandarin lessons...?

... I could also say "Wo de mao zhen ke ai"-- My cat is very cute. (De=possessive word)


Also, on a completely unrelated note-- Please adopt a pangolin from my adoptable site! -points to link in sig- ^^

Randomness~~~ Look! A pancake! Da gai shi ni de? (Maybe it is yours?) XD
Oh, yeah: da gai=maybe... No idea how to say pancake, though just plain "cake" is dan gao.

[wolfblazer]

Oh yeah. Now I remember.
We did do ke ai in class the other day.

Thursday we have an oral exam. I might scan in the sheet for you to see. xD Lol.

[Moonflight]

Yay ^^

Are you in Mandarin I or II? (The class level)

I'm in Mandarin II ^^

[wolfblazer]

I have no idea. Lol. xD

[Moonflight]

How long have you been taking Mandarin?

[wolfblazer]

2 years and a bit. ^^

[wingchimes]

I'm a Chinese...so I've been learning it for maybe nine years now...o_o

你好！ 你真辛富， 能去北京

[Moonflight]

XDDD I don't know most of those characters...

-Has only been taking Mandarin since last fall- (So a little more than a year, then?)
