An afternoon. On piece on on on. Good afternoon. Good evening. One chunk. One chunk. Good evening. How? Good? One chunk. One chunk. How? Now some of you may ask me, Hey, Jocelyn, what about one? And now one somehow is used when you are meeting someone in the evening. It is the evening. Hello, whereas one, and it is good night. That means you are saying goodbye in the evening. Big difference. Now. Good evening. One, Chung Hao. Here is your goodnight. You can use goodnight when you are saying goodbye in the evening. Good night. One on one night and peace. One and 1.1, and good night. Now here comes our common greeting. Hello. You can use this to greet your friends and your family. It's in formal and casual. Let's try it. Anyhow. Please take note there is a tone change for the word knee. So just repeat after me. Ni hao. Ni hao. Ni hao. Hello.

Gaussian, very pleased to meet all of 3. How to greet someone with their social titles: Hi and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to learn how do you address people with their social titles? Are you ready? Let's begin. Now there are three types of titles. As some of you may know, Chinese society is all about respect. So it is a social practice to address people with their titles. And there are three ways of doing so. We have the former way, which is the Sir and Madam titles. The family way, which is addressing elderlies like uncle or auntie and all sorts. And lastly, we have the career types of titles, which is addressing them according to the job profession. Now let's start with the formal title. We have The Mr. Can shell. We have the miss or Madame new shoot. We have the MRS. Tie tie. And we have the Miss South Sudan shall new shoe tie, tie, cell t. Now let's practice. Let us create a miss the wall. Hello, Mr. Wong, Hong Kong. See angel. Hello, Mr. Wong. Now let's try it with your preferred surname. Anyhow. The surname CN Shuo Ni hao. Can Xiao Ni hao. Ni hao. Hello, Mr. Wong. Let us read a wall or a madam wall near Hong Kong. New shoes. Anyhow, one new shoot. Now let's try with your preferred surname. Anyhow. The surname new shoot. Anyhow. New shoot.

Ni hao tie, tie me. How Hong Tai Chi. Hello, Mrs. Wong. Okay. Hear me saying this. I would strongly suggest that it is best to avoid calling a lady by just salty. Because the term Saudia in slang means prostitute. And years we want to avoid all sorts of drama. So to play safe, always include the surname. Let's create a young lady. Ms. Wong knew how long how long saltier. Now, let's try it with your preferred surname. Ni hao. Surname saltier. Anyhow? Surname Saudia. Ni hao. Ni hao. Satya. Hello, Ms. Wall. 4. How to greet someone with Job Titles: As mentioned before, the third type of title is addressing people according to their profession. Usually these types of titles are qualified professionals are high status careers. Well, you know the drill, such as teacher, lawyer, API Tag, Manager, professor, Dr. etc. Let's start with Dr. E. Showing ie some some some. Dr. hello, Dr. Li. Ni hao. Ni hao. Hello. Lee, the surname Li you some Dr. ni hao ni hao lesion. Meow lesion. Hello, Dr. Lee. Professor Zhao. Zhao. Zhao.

Hello, Professor young. Teacher. Lao Shou. Lao Shu Lao-Tzu. Lao-tzu, teacher. Hello teacher Chan. Ni hao, child loves me. Hello. Hello. Chen. The surname Chen. Lousy. Teacher knew how Shan Lao Shu Ni hao shall now sue me how shall now so hello teacher Chen, supervisor or department head. To run. Now, please listen carefully to how I pronounce it. Because if we have a tolling change, so humor is a joule RUN. Oh my goodness, it means something else. Drew run supervisor to run master. As if you are a slave, you are calling the other person muster. No, we don't want that. So just repeat after me. To run. Run run run. Supervisor or department head. Hello, supervisor Lin. Lin children, meow. Hello. Lin, the surname Lynn Jovin, supervisor. Anyhow need to run. Anyhow. Lin to run anyhow link to run. Hello supervisor Lynn, manager, Jin Li, Jin, Li Jia, Li Li manager. Hello Manager Wang. Anyhow, one, Jin Li Ni hao. One, the pseudonym Rang Jin Li, manager. Miho one, Jim Lee Hall wanting wanting the Hello Vintage. 5. How to greet someone with their Community titles: As you may know, the Chinese community is all about respect and family orientated. So it is common to address strangers as Uncle Andy, big brother, big sister. Calling someone Uncle Andy does not necessarily mean that we are related to the person. We're just acknowledging them, that they are elderly and we are paying them respect. So let's start with the uncle. Sure, sure. Sure, sure. The anti E, E, The Big Brother, and the big sister. Here. In this section onwards, I will be using different Chinese surnames so that you can get used to the different pronunciations. In this case, we will be greeting uncle knew. Now let's try it. Anyhow. Leo, Shu, Shu, Ni hao. Hello. Knew the surname Liu Shu Shu, ankle. Knee. How? New social? Miho shoo shoo. Shoo, shoo. Hello uncle you. Awesome. Now let's greet anti-chain. Ni hao John, I knew how John Dewey. Ni hao. Ni hao, John Dewey. Hello, anti-chain. Hello, Big Brother, Xiao Ni hao. Ni hao. Hello. Ciao. The surname Joel Barker, big brother. Anyhow, job darker. Anyhow, Charles darker. Darker. Now, let us create our big sister. Ni hao. Ni hao. Hello, the surname whew. Big sister. Yoho. Yoho. Yoho. Hello, because it's the rule. Now, I would like to draw your attention to the word tier. Fourth tone. The tone that means big sister. And it is often confused with the word dear. Bar t. It means rubbery. Give me your money, budget. Big difference. Thigh, the tone. Second tone. But yes, we do hear funny stories saying something like someone was trying to say budget because it's the butt end up seeing that robbery. So that pronounced the word property. Back to back to you. 6. How are you: How I ni hao. Ni hao. As some of you might be familiar with, it means hello. You go. It is the yes-no question word. So when you add those words together, ni hao, we are actually asking, are you good? Ni hao, ma. Please take note that what needs to be pronounced likely and shortly, because we want to avoid the embarrassing moment by dragging the word mar. It means hello, marr. We don't want that. So hear me saying it. Ni hao. Ma ni hao. Ni hao. Ni hao. How are you? Oh, are you good. And so we would respond, I'm fine. Well, Hun how War I hun, please take note days a tone change. So just repeat after me. Hun. How good? How? Well, how? Well, honey, I'm fine. How about you need n0 means, you know, it is the open question. Would, that means it's a rhetorical question? We are expecting all sorts of answers. Now some of you asked me, what is the difference between map and the map. Your answers will only be yes or no. Whereas the it can be anything. Nina. Nina. Nina. And how about you? 7. Asking Who are you Who is this: Hi and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to ask who is someone. This is the polite way of asking for the name or the identity of the person. Excuse me. And you are we are giving them time and space to express themselves. Chin one mean Shou Xi, one, name, Shou Xi one, ninj. T1, ninja. Excuse me. And you are I am Jocelyn. Jocelyn. War means I should means an Jocelyn is my name. Let's try it with your name. Wore suit. Your name wore suit. Awesome. Wash. Jocelyn. I am Jocelyn. This is the question. When you want to ask who is someone? The person is standing right next to you. You're not sure who they are. So you asked your friend, this person is awake. Means this weight. It is the classifier for person. Means is way, way soon. Joe away should this person is. Now, if you know the person and you would like to introduce him or her, you would say something like e.g. this person is Mr. Wong. Two ways. One, it is the surname for one it is Mr. please be reminded. All formal introductions. You need to get the surname and the titles right? Now, let's try it. We should see in some joe away should see in some way Su Wong Sun. This is Mr. Wong. Now, let's try it with your preferred surname. Journey we should see in some way, should mention Jo we shouldn't shun. This person is Mr. Awesome. When you want to introduce someone's identity, e.g. he is my boss. Par shoot. Water. Lao Ban means he shoot means is water. My boss. Lao Shou. Lao Ban. Partial wall. The Lao Ban Partial water. Lao been He is my boss. We have learned how to introduce someone that is standing right next to you or it's near to you. But what happened if we want to introduce someone did standing afar? Yes, we would say that person is now that way person is now wage. Now, we should now wait. E.g. we want to introduce Mrs. Wong Hong Tai tai Lung, the surname Wong tie tie. Mrs. Thai, Thai, Mrs. Wong, tie, tie. Now let's add everything together. Now. We shoot. Hung tight, tight. That person is Mrs. Wong. Now what happens if you are not sure if the lady is married or not? You don't want to cause a scene. So in this case, we would address the lady S mys new shoe. New shoot. Ms. Now, let's try it. That person is Ms. Wong. Now we should new shoot. Now we should. Wong knew no way. Su Huang, new shoot. That person is Ms. Wong. Now, let's try it with your preferred surname. Now, we shoot new shoe. Now, we should new shoe. Now we should new shoe. That person is Ms. Awesome. Now let's try it with the young lady. Ms. Cell. Please take note that E is a tone change for the sow. Hear me saying it. Sounds hair. Cell here. South. Mess. Awesome. Now let's try the full sentence. Now, we should sell to here. Now we should belong. So now we should long COG here. That is this one. Now let's try it with your preferred surname. Now, we should see out here. Now, we should sell to here. Now we should saltier. That person is Miss. Awesome. We have learned how to say boss. Now let's try Lady Boss. Plow pan means bus. Yan itself means butter. But no, in this case, men are talking about boss mother. When we add those words together, plow pan neon, it means Lady Boss. Lao Ban Yan. Please take note days a tone change with the word hear me saying it. Lao fun. Young Lao Ban. Liao been young lady boss. Now, let's try the full sentence. Sue, water, loud but neon. Shoot, water, plow pan neon, parcel water now. But how should they allow been here? She is my Lady Boss. 8. Asking for the location: Welcome once again to learn Chinese with Jocelyn. We're excited for you as we continue to make progress to become members of the worldwide community of Chinese speakers. In this lesson, we will learn simple ways how to ask for locations. So this is the general question of asking, where is it? Where is it? Tie? Gnarly. Psi means locate. Naturally, means where. Please take note there's an asterisk in front of the word. That means there has been a tone change. So just repeat after me. Now, lea, normally, the full sentence will be psi Natalie, Natalie. Natalie. Where is it? Where we want to find out about the location of a specific place in Chinese, we will first say the name of the location, followed by psi gnarly. E.g. if we want to ask, where is the toilet, Toilet, toe, toe, toe swap? So we would say psi gnarly, Telcel, psi gnarly. Gnarly way is the toilet. So if we want to ask, where is the hospital? E un means hospital e, e e un. So the full sentence will be e un, sign, gnarly, Yen, sign Natalie. Natalie. Where is the hospital? Let's build on our sentences. Now. We want to find out where is the nearest location. So we would add the words three. Means most. Tin means near is the auxiliary verb. In this case, it serves as an apostrophe S. It is difficult, or should I say, it is impossible to translate to languages with different words because two different languages means two different grammar systems. In this case, I just want to show you how is it like if we translate the words directly into English? So we would get the nearest or possibly as location, locate, where. Pretty straightforward, isn't it? The more you'll understand the words you will get to use to the simple Chinese grandma. And from there on, you can construct any sentences. Now, let us try it with the example of UN hospital. Let's try it. To 18. Yen. Sign gnarly. To eat in the UN. Tie gnarly to 18 the E psi. Now Holly, Where is the nearest hospital? Let's try to read toilet. Do you still remember what he started began in Chinese? Yes. The tussle, psi Gnarly, he deemed the tarsal psi naughty. To eating the tussle sign gnarly. Where is the nearest toilet? Let's try a new word. Subway station. D here. D here. John. D here means subway. John means station D Here, Jan, subway station. So how is it gonna be like? How are we going to say, where is the nearest subway station? Yes. He's gonna be tweeting the d t, sine t, t. John. Say gnarly way is the nearest subway station. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Now. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. 9. Asking for the person's name: Hi. In this lesson, let's learn about how to ask for the person's name in Mandarin Chinese. Are you ready? Let us begin. Now, this is the informal way of asking for the person's name. We asked them directly. Ni jiao Schama means what is your name? The easy way to introduce yourself is your answer them directly. My name is Jocelyn, e.g. you would say war Dao. Jocelyn. War means I, shall means coal. And your name. Let's try it. Wore, tell your name. War gel. War. Zhao. Zhao Jocelyn. My name is Jocelyn. If you are in a formal or business setting and what to ask for the person's name. It is best to ask for the surname first. As some of you may know, Chinese society is all about respect n formula T. By asking for their surname. This enables you to start addressing the person with his or her titles. Now, let's try it. What is your name or your surname? Mean? Cuisine. Nin you in honorable manner. Quite honorable. Sing surname. Nein. Nein, nein cuisine. What is your surname? E.g. if you want to say, my surname is warm, you would say, war seem long. War means, I. Sing, means surname. One. It is the surname. War scene. How long my surname is one. Now, let's try it with your surname. War scene. Your surname. Wall. Seen war scene. We're seeing my surname is warm. 10. Asking for the Price: Hi and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to ask for the price in Mandarin Chinese. Asking for the price, how much is it? Door shout, Chen. Bore means many or more. Shao means less. Chin means money. So if you want to ask how much, in terms of the quantity, you can simply say dorsal, that is to ask for the quantity. But in this case we are asking for the price. That's why we add the word chin at the end. Let's try it. Thaw. Shao Chan. Shao chin. Bosch our chin. How much is it? How much is this? Joker for salt chin. Jirga means this one object. Bosch Archean. How much? Jirga, dorsal. Tn, Jirga, dorsal, chin, Jirga, Bosch Archean. How much is this? You can point at the object and ask for the price. And so we get the response that it is six bucks, six bucks. Lu, quite chin loop means six bucks, as you know, it is the slang for dollar. It works exactly the same width, quite chin. White means peace of money. Chin means money. So when you add them together, Lille, why? Chin? It means six P's of money, which means six bucks. Now, let's try it. Lille. Why? Chen? Hi, Chin. Quiet chin, six bucks. Now you want to point at the object and tell the price, this is six bucks. Let's try it. Awesome. New clients. Blue. This six bucks. 11. Asking for the Quantity: Hi and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to ask for the quantity. Asking for the quantity. Now, this can be a general question. You can ask how much, how many? In this case means, many. Shao means less. So you get the question of more or less. That's why you can use this to ask how much or how many. Let's try it. For Shao. Shao. Shao. How much, how many? How many do you have? We are asking for the quantity of the object. So we would say Neil Bush. Please take note there is a tone change for the knee because it won't make sense. If you hear someone saying like knee, your dorsal sounds awkward, right? So just pronounce after me. Ne your door. Shao. Neal. Neal dorsal. How many do you have? Let's start with the sentence structure. I have war, your wall. There is a tone change. Your means half or has. Now the beauty of Chinese word is we don't have half or has rw have, or has it still the same? Would yo. Now let's try it. Wore Yoho. Yoho. Yoho. I have I have to. Now, in this case, you are answering with the quantity Warrior. Warrior. I have learned. It is two in quantity for the means used the word learn to measure words. Good means, the measurement classifier for people or objects in general. So some of you asked me, Joslyn, what is the biggest difference between Leon? And because both means to now are, is used generally when counting numbers like 123 or performing mathematical functions. However, when you want to see two of something, we use the word Leon. Awesome. Now let's try it. Wore your gut wall. You'll learn. While now. I have two off the object. If you want to change the number, just simply change the word lungs into your preferred number. So what happens if you want to say, I don't have, you would say war Mayo, War I. Male means don't have wall. May warn me. I don't have. 12. Asking What is this: Hi, and welcome. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to ask a simple question. May I ask? Now, this is the polite expression before you start the question. May I ask you something? Chin? Chin means please. One means us. Chin One. Team. One. Team one. May I ask you oh, excuse me. May I ask what is this? You can simply point at the object and ask this question. Just shoot. Soma means, this. Shoot means is. Soma means what? Sama. Sama. What is this? So the full sentence, you could say, Excuse me, what is this? T1. T1 to t1, to assist sama. Excuse me, what does? Now, let's learn a simple sentence structure to respond to the question. E.g. this is green tea. Luke, as you know, it means does shoot, is char green tea? To lose char. Char, this is green tea. You can just change the object in blue to your preferred object. If you want to ask something that is a far, you could say, what is that? National cinema now means, that means is summer is what? Soma, soma. Soma. What is that? Let's try the sentence in full. Excuse me. What is that? T1 now. Soma. Soma t1. Now, Schistosoma, excuse me. What is that? That is coffee. Coffee. Now, Dad shoot coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. That is coffee. 13. Do you have: Hi, and welcome. In this video, we are going to learn how to ask if someone has something in Mandarin Chinese, you have this, Do you have debt? Let's see how do we say that in Mandarin, Chinese. Are you ready? Let's begin. Let's try with a simple sentence structure. Do you have in Mandarin, Chinese, it would be knee, your Mayo. Please take note there is a tone change with the word knee because it sounds awkward. If you say ni, your Mayo. Sounds wrong, right? Nobody says such things. That's why we would change it into a second tone. Let's try it. Me. Yo veo. Knee. You're male. Male, male. Do you have let's learn a new word. Pen. B. B. B pen. So tell me, how do you say do you have a pen in Mandarin, Chinese? Yes. You would say ni your mail, BE me. Yo Mayo. Be knee, your mail. B. Do you have a pen? I hash War. Y'all. Please take note there is a tone change for the word wall because it is followed by your tutor tones. The first word would change into a second tone. Wall. Yo yo yo I have I don't have war meal. War. I may don't. Yo hash war. May your warm meal. I don't have let's upgrade our sentence. If you wanted to say No, I don't have you would say for me your full means no. You're opposing something. Male means you don't have something in possession. Big difference. Let's try it again for me. Y'all. One male. One way you're oh, no, I don't. 14. Drinks: Hi and welcome. In this lesson, let's talk about dreams. We are going to learn a simple conversation question and answers that, what would you like to drink? Your answer? I would like to drink this. I would love to drink that. Let us learn that word. Drink in Chinese. Drink. Oh, awesome. Now let's add everything together. Let's start with a question. What would you like to drink? Nissan Hiroshima. Please take note there is a tone changed to the word hear me saying it. Mean It means you would like to drink. Sh'ma. What? You would like to drink. What? So Sh'ma. That's tried. Knee cell. Soma, ny sound. Schama, Nissan customer. What would you like to drink? And your answer could be, I would like to drink green tea. While loop char wall. Please take note that a zoning change. War means i sound would like to drink green tea. Wall, sound. Wall, Char, Char. Char. I would love to drink green tea. I would like to drink coffee. Cafe coffee, coffee. Coffee. Coffee, coffee. Wall, sound. Cafe wall, some cafe coffee. I would like to drink coffee. Now what happens if you do not know the name of the drink? Here is your solution. You can simply point at the menu or drink and say the sentence, I would like to drink, this was young. Chuck means thus. Now let's try it. Wall, cell, wall, cell, wall, cell. Joker was younger. I would like to drink this. We have learned about this. Now. Let's learn about that.

It could be you or I, or he or she, John or Mary. War means I, wo, ni means you. And we have the word eat or sleep, the action words. And finally we have the object or the noun, like hamburger or banana or whatever. The simple example of the SVO sentence. I eat rice. War. I, to eat fun. Rice. War Two fun. I eat rice. Water to fun. I eat rice. Let's use another example. You drink tea, Nee, Nee, you drink tea. Ni hao. Ni hao chop. You drink tea. Easy, isn't it? Now let's build on our SVO sentence. I would like to add the word Yao. Yeah, means one or ones. Now please take note in Chinese, we do not differentiate the difference between once or one. In English, we would say he or she wants and I want. In Mandarin, Chinese, ones are one. It is exactly the same word yao. So we would have the subject that he or she or day followed by Yao. And we have our work and we have our object. Let's see how it works. She wants to eat rice, Thai out Shaphan, Tao Shi Yao, one's fun. Eat rice. Now please take note, we do not have the 12 because in this case, the one-two, it is included in the word Yao. Yao to fun. She can eat rice. So basically it would be she wants to eat rice. He wants to drink tea. Pi our whole chart. Yeah. Once, two or one, depending on how you want to say it. Who drink tea? He won drink tea. Yahoo chop, chop, chop. He wants to drink tea. Now let's build on our subject. As some of you may know, the word man, it is the plural marker. So that means whatever subject. When we add the word man, it multiplies. So e.g. there is the word war. War means I. When we say woman, that means there's a lot of AI, which means we. And we have the tar. Tar is he or she had the sounds exactly the same. So mn means day in general.

Your name. Wore suit. Wore suit. Wash Jocelyn. I am Jocelyn. Let's change the subject. We want to say he is passer par he shoot, is in this case, he is Caleb. Caleb, par suit parser, parcel. Caleb. He is Caleb. Some of you may notice the word is he or she or it, right? The sound is exactly the same, but it's just the difference of writing. So in this case, I would like you to focus on the sounds. Don't worry about the agenda because if you are introducing he or she well, the person is writing phone you obviously they would see the agenda, isn't it? Anyway? Partial tar. She is in this case. Pass Karen. Karen. Pass. Pass. Pass it. Karen. You are. So in this case we are asking for their identity, isn't it? You were asking the question, who are you all? What is your occupation? You are. Same principle. Ni Shou we drag the knee, you shoot our knee, shoot Ni Shuo Ni. So when we dragged, it creates that kind of a question. Mold. Niche means you are your affirmative, whereas knee shoot. You are. If you want to be more respective, you would change the word Ni to nein. Nein means you in respective manner. So mean shoe, mean Shu. Shu, you are in respective mold. Other than names, we can use the word suit to tell identities such as occupations, etc. So in this case, you wanted to say Karen is a teacher. So Karen it is the subject is lousy teacher. Karen Lao Shu. Karen is a teacher. Karen shoot lawsuit. And if I want to say I am a teacher, yes, it would be war. Loud. Wash it. Lawsuit. I am a teacher. 26.
