hey guys come on, another word!

yeah yeah keep your shirt on...patience is a virtue, grasshopper...i was having internet problems last night, i got ripped off by frigging Telstra...which is nothing new...and i apparently had no pre-paid internet time left which was a LIE not that it matters to them at all...so yeah...when it comes to me expect to be held up sometimes...if you arent happy by all means take it up with my crappy phone company...i dont mind...wont get you anywhere though...pre-paid dial-up with Telstra is NOT a very good combination...but the other phone companies dont offer better rates so they are it...so you ll just have to be patient...

ok...

the new word is FOOD...

food=shi2 wu4=食物
i ate less food last days=zui4 jin4 ji3 tian1 wo3 chi1 de1 bi3 jiao4 shao3=最近几天我吃得比较少
i=wo3=我
eat=chi1=吃
less=bi2 jiao4 shao3=比较少

good game,isn't it?

I take this photo from the page of one of our beautiful ballerina's, Crystal.
picture of food


xinxinwang - you are very generous for helping us like this and being such a great teacher, thank you.

zuì jìn recent; recently; soon
jǐ tiān several days
chī eat
shí wù food
bǐ jiǎo shǎo lesser

the word "less" sure has more words.

(I figured I'd provide these since I like hearing them myself)

shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu shi wu

zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jiao shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jian shao
zui jin ji tian wo chi de bi jian shao


and we'll make the new word.....

learning

(I know it is not a noun, but since we're learning mandarin, it seems very appropriate... so find a picture which somehow applies to learning... should be many options)

i m confused...Mark when you wrote that jazz was this jué shì yuè how come in the sentence it's jie shi...is there a spelling error?

[ Last edited by  a friend at 2007-7-3 06:12 PM ]

hi actually i was lazy so if you noticed, i typed the english words corresponding to the chinese sentence above. As in each english word=chinese words above...

Sorry about the Jie Shi and Jue Shi confusion, should be Jue Shi, it actually sounds like "Jazz".


Models= Mo2 Te4

Here's an extra-credit assignment for everyone...  Make a NEW sentence from the words that have been provided.  You can say whatever you like.

I will do mine as the example.

Wo xiang he shui.

I don't know if it's right, but I'm trying to say "I like to drink water."

Could I say, "Wo xiang mao?"   meaning "I like cats?"  Is xiang used the same way?


Every student should try this to test their skills a bit.



and remember... our new word has been defined, so our new picture to find is:   models

xiang: direct translation is think. But in this context is more of i "feel like" drinking water
I like cats= Wo2 Xi3 Huan1 Mao

xiang=want or miss,but not like

you're welcome MarkAllen,being a teacher is good

model=mo2 te4=模特
models are fashionable=mo2 te4 men1 dou1 hen3 shi2 shang4=模特们都很时尚.

thanks Cloudz7 -

Do I need to use the plural marker on cat (mao) to make cats like mao men?

lol.  A friend - that photo did not come from alivenotdead.... there are so many models here, of all the words not to find here.so...

"duck?"  that's going to be a tricky one to find on alivenotdead.  remember, that is the photo challenge, the photo is from this site.

Thanks again xinxinwang
shí shàng fashion
hěn very; rather; quite
dōu all; both (if two things are involved); entirely (due to)each; even; already

mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te mo te

mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang
mo te men dou hen shi shang

This is interesting because there is no verb... is "dou" considered the verb or does shi shang imply "are fashionable?"  so an implicit verb?
