Thank you for the lessons. The confusion is coming from the differences in formality and familiarity in conversation. If you were at a business meeting and had to ask a senior officer his family name you would not say either of those expressions. I do appreciate however that you are trying to keep the lessons simple. Thanks again.
and are you going to teach us how to write the characters....i havent gotten very far in ur lessons...so i dont know if you do it further down the line...i'm just wondering ^^
hmm how weird... we were taught to always say ming zi if I would like to ask what's your name... oh well.. just follow your chinese teacher XD who am I anywayz :))
my friend says that without the ming zi it might sound like What are you called? so hmmm i dont know if it's right but i guess if she says you can use it then just do say ni jiao shi me XD
lol well i dont say ni jiao shi me...i'd say ni jiao shenme.... but i dont know if there is a different...its in my book that way...but then again...my book had some things wrong and it had to be corrected...
what does ni jiao shenme mingzi actually mean i know that ni means you jiao means called shenme means what and mingzi means name but what doesit actually mean?
whoa im learning chinese!! how exciting! You're such a great teacher! I wished all of my teachers were as happy/nice then maybe i would enjoy going to school. lol
ni jiao shen me kai wen is that right?
