Hello guys. I am trying to learn Mandarin, but at this point I need some help. Those of you who are fluent in both Chinese and English can you help me to translate something. What does "ge, ni tai shuai le" mean? Please provide the best translation in English possible. thank you.
I like that more than one person is speaking Chinese, using both slow and normal speeds. It's great to have the characters as well as the PinYin, then you can see even when a native speaker in not pronouncing the words correctly!
The word for 'toilet' is always good to know when you're a traveler. I don't think the entire sentence is necessary... people will get the idea when you say 'toilet? toilet???' and look lost :)
@iloveyouinchinese But when you say that toilet word with false tone, it can mean something else. SO the sentence is important that they can understand the meaning... you know, context...
@LilyJzl oh ok that makes sense, I don't know that much chinese just beginning to learn taking a beginners class this semester, though I find it really interesting.
I really don't think I'd be able to ask anyone in China if they could speak English, I'd more than likely fck it up and end up saying something TOTALLY wrong because I can't get the sound right >.<
@ivylamejor You didn't like this video? Was it because you wanted a clearer explanation of the tones? Just wondering--I'm working on a video for PinYin and tones specifically, but not finished with it yet. Just wondering what your opinion on it is.
ni jiao shen me ming zi (whats ur name?) is basically the same as zen me cheng hu nin (how do i call you?) its jsut that zen me cheng hu nin is used in China more and ni jiao shen me ming zi is used in taiwan.
@CurlyKoki-Nin（您）is the more formal way of saying ni【你） both meaning you. It's like if you where addressing your professor or someone much older you just met.
”怎么称呼你“ sounds ridiculous and i've never heard that as a common way to ask someone's name, polite or informal. When u first meet someone u ask ”您贵姓“ which is used to find out somene's surname. Then after u break the ice, u can ask "你叫什么名字“？which is asking for someone's given name. There are of course some variations to each of those but stick with them and it works well. :D
@zoodrago You got a point if you mean the video is way confused. But understand that us westerners, learners of Mandarin, can't understand the written Mandarin that you so kindly put there to illustrate what you say. Romanize your examples and you'll be more useful. Thank you. xiexie.
is the polite and formal form of greeting and should be used for people you don't know or for elders, teachers, managers, parents, grand parents and so fourth.
@wfung510 Well, I have a Chinese person sitting next to me, I asked her and she said "ni" is for people you know and "nin" is for people you don't know as also an elder person you must refer towards them with "nin"
@wfung510 Well, I have a Chinese person sitting next to me, I asked her and she said "ni" is for people you know and "nin" is for people you don't know as also an elder person you must refer towards them with "nin" ...
@Starcloud1986 Nin(您) is said to people of old age, or important people, basically out of respect, and it's formal. A lot of languages do that, like Spanish for example. :) basically 你ni is used to everybody else.
You only use nin hao if the person is above you in status, or you work somewhere and you're talking to a customer. Otherwise you say ni hao. And "how are you?" translates differently into Chinese. You only ask "Ni hao ma?" if you haven't seen the person you're talking to in a long time.
soooo any one else wondering what the random "hao de" at 4:05 means? cuz technically i only learned 9 words..... any one able to teach me what "hao de" means???
@JoshReemelin hao de means good. so if someone does something well you say hao de.. but all these are weird like do you speak english is Ni jiang yingwen ma? what is your name is Ni jiao shenme mingzi? hello and how are you are ni hao and ni hao ma? when i lived in china this is what i got taught... i never heard any of the above...
@KyleTheBassist123 Some expressions seems to be quite formal and very polite, But for example Ni hui shuo yingyu ma is common , you can use ying yu, yingwen perhaps even yingguo hua(?) when describing the english language and ni hui shuo of course means "are you able to speak". It's such a rich language with many dialects and expressions, so of course you are bound to not recognize some of them. Take care.
the tone is demonstrated differently in the way that each of the these people pronounce "where's the bathroom" in Mandarin- which one is correct ? particularly the tone in the last part of that sentence. .
for those wondering why some of the chinese here are not exactly the same as the 'textbook' versions, its because this guide is designed for tourists on travel. so it teaches alot of ways to say things in a more polite manner. so yes, 'what is your name' becomes more of 'how do i address you?' which is more fitting for tourists, and 'where is the bathroom' becomes 'which way to the bathroom?" which is probally more helpful since you're then asking for the direction as well.
This language is intriguing, I'm actually American but I have very close Mandarin Chinese family. Some of which speak fluent English and some are a little in between. I know some basics but I want to learn to fluently speak Mandarin to break that slight barrier. I just don't know of any webcam or personal tutors to help me.
@zyphernova750 I actually recommend pimsleur mandarin chinese, there are torrents for it, although it only focus on the oral part and therefore it can be hard to get some of the pronunciations correctly(if you do not know the basic) but it is a great supplemental tool and you get to practice speaking a lot by answering questions. Note: that it uses a lot of beijing expression, that for example would not be used in Taiwan.
We watched this in school today. The whole class laughed the whole time while trying to pronounce everything, and the slow way the two speakers told us how to pronounce everything. (:
but "nin" --[您]-- is more formal and polite than "ni" -[你]-. It is like saying "sir" in English, and it's better to say "nin" if you're talking to old people, strangers, a professor...etc.

@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx You use 'nín' usually to show respect, such as when talking to someone older than you, or with a higher position ;). Normally it's 'nǐ'
gracias desde costa rica,me urge aprender el idioma chino,si alguien me puede ayudar con alguna direccion,ya que lo que mas deceo es poder leer,y escribir,por medio de este video que lo he bajado,me encuentro aprensiendo,pero mas deceo es saber como escribir y leer...gracias manuel de costa rica.
@lilkitty50 There are alot of ways to say it. For example the "where is the bathroom", they use xi shou jian zen me zou, which literally means "bathroom how to go", the way im used to saying is xi shou jian zai na li which literally means, "bathroom where is it?"
@lilkitty50 yeeah it is but in the video it said "Zen me cheng hu nin" which basically means "how do i address you" its still okay to use as what is your name
@lilkitty50 That's asking for your full name. You could also say ni xing ma? but a more polite way of saying it is ni gui xing. both of these however only ask for the family name.
@lilkitty50 Yeah it is, but there's China mandarin and Taiwan mandarin. They're similar but different in some ways. Nî jiào shénme míngzi is like the Taiwanese version while Zen me cheng hu nin is the Chinese version.
well, as a Chinese speaker you can say both. The one you said is the non formal form of saying it. Both are correct, depends on the situation. Although i lived in China for about 4 years and I never heard the formal one....
Everything they said is correct there is not only one way to say things which can be frustrating for people that want instant language, only problem I found with this was that they used very uncommon phrases. Nobody really uses Nin anymore, its the polite form and is rarly used, also asking names and directions was made more complex than it needed to be, language is about communication and should be about getting accross your meaning in the most simplest way.
I've been studying english for many years but I'm? still bad at it,? so,i wanna find a friend who always speaks in english. and I can teach you chinese if you want... ^_^
what they said is correct. We're a very ancient and literate culture, so we have a lot of ways to say the same thing. What they said : zen me cheng hu ni? is pretty formal, like "How should I refer to you?"
yingwen is more common in speaking, but the word "Yu" (thats why, i prefer characters, it makes understanding different ways to say the same thing so much easier) means language, specifically the spoke. Wen means culture/literature/ language(including both spoken and written) because it often wants to imply both, most people use wen. yu means the language, do you speak the language
where is the toilet sounds crude. What they said literally means "Where do I walk to the hand-washing room?" we often say hand-washing room to refer to bathroom, it sounds much... nicer. Especially over the dinner table, or at a business dinner etc.
I've been studying english for many years but I'm still bad at it, so,i wanna find a friend who always speaks in english. and I can teach you chinese if you want... ^_^
i hear most chinese say "sorry", instead of excuse me. i think this is the most common mistranslation. its a two different word. sorry is like, youre asking for forgiveness and excuse me is asking for someone to give way. for example, ur in the elevator,you say "excuse me" NOT "sorry". so in this video, dui bu qi is not excuse me. dui bu qi means sorry, and for excuse me, they say "jhe ge"
I learned English by watching alot of American dramas, sitcoms, cartoons, movies and basically any other form of western entertainment. That and interacting with white people. I never had a english tutor, sure i had some teachers helping me while in middle and highschool but they were pretty much useless. If a 12 year old chinese kid (me) came over to a strange country with no prior experience in its culture or language and managed to learn it all within 8 years. Don't you think u can too?
The trouble with learning mandarin is that there are so many different ways to say the same thing, often depending on the context, or how formal you want to be, which is why I won't directly disagree with any of the translations here, but I do wish that learning material in general was more standard. Things like tone marks, which are completely absent from this video, are essential. Some books I've found even use non-standard pronunciations like "nee how" instead of nĭhăo. sorry for the rant
@CannibalKalas I am trying to learn chinese , and i learnt that ni hao is hello , like you said, and als ni hao ma = how are you. But also learnt that if you say nin hao , it is politer, so usually used to people older than you. ( almost every resource on internet says it too) But ni hao is more common if that is what you meant.
@natty1417 She is definitely right, it is nǐ hǎo. This video is using the formal version of hello. You would say nín hǎo to someone that you don't know very well, or have never met, and to someone older than you, respectively.
@CannibalKalas Nǐ hǎo is used 2 people that you know, or friends, family, etc. You would use nín hǎo to someone that you've never met, or to older people. '你好吗' (nǐ hǎo ma?) is also used to friends and family whereas '您好吗?' (nín hǎo ma?) is used to people that you haven't met or is older than you. I speak Chinese, just like you, I do disagree with some of the translations in the video. I thought I was right, I asked my friend who teaches Chinese at a school, and she backed me up.

why is it in my college class they say hello (as well as in my text book) ni hao? and what is your surname is ni xing shenme? is there a difference between n^i and nin? seriously wtf?
@jackiedeff4 i think they're pulling our legs, " thank you" sounds like" shit-shit " i know i saw the word " bu ka ke " up there and towards the end i swear the guy was burping.
Pinyin would help a tad..

@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx You use 'nín' usually to show respect, such as when talking to someone older than you, or with a higher position ;). Normally it's 'nǐ'

@lilkitty50 There are alot of ways to say it. For example the "where is the bathroom", they use xi shou jian zen me zou, which literally means "bathroom how to go", the way im used to saying is xi shou jian zai na li which literally means, "bathroom where is it?"

@lilkitty50 That's asking for your full name. You could also say ni xing ma? but a more polite way of saying it is ni gui xing. both of these however only ask for the family name.

well, as a Chinese speaker you can say both. The one you said is the non formal form of saying it. Both are correct, depends on the situation. Although i lived in China for about 4 years and I never heard the formal one....
scottmoses5 4 months ago
Everything they said is correct there is not only one way to say things which can be frustrating for people that want instant language, only problem I found with this was that they used very uncommon phrases. Nobody really uses Nin anymore, its the polite form and is rarly used, also asking names and directions was made more complex than it needed to be, language is about communication and should be about getting accross your meaning in the most simplest way.

@Wildhorsecreak
what they said is correct. We're a very ancient and literate culture, so we have a lot of ways to say the same thing. What they said : zen me cheng hu ni? is pretty formal, like "How should I refer to you?"

BatcaveDilemma 1 year ago
@BatcaveDilemma BOTH
yingwen is more common in speaking, but the word "Yu" (thats why, i prefer characters, it makes understanding different ways to say the same thing so much easier) means language, specifically the spoke. Wen means culture/literature/ language(including both spoken and written) because it often wants to imply both, most people use wen. yu means the language, do you speak the language
crunkkitkat 11 months ago
@Wildhorsecreak
where is the toilet sounds crude. What they said literally means "Where do I walk to the hand-washing room?" we often say hand-washing room to refer to bathroom, it sounds much... nicer. Especially over the dinner table, or at a business dinner etc.

i would recommend usuing "dui bu qi" as sorry, to say excuse me say "qing wen" (for attention) or "qing rang yi xia" (to get past someone)
MaxViars 1 year ago
i hear most chinese say "sorry", instead of excuse me. i think this is the most common mistranslation. its a two different word. sorry is like, youre asking for forgiveness and excuse me is asking for someone to give way. for example, ur in the elevator,you say "excuse me" NOT "sorry". so in this video, dui bu qi is not excuse me. dui bu qi means sorry, and for excuse me, they say "jhe ge"

I learned English by watching alot of American dramas, sitcoms, cartoons, movies and basically any other form of western entertainment. That and interacting with white people. I never had a english tutor, sure i had some teachers helping me while in middle and highschool but they were pretty much useless. If a 12 year old chinese kid (me) came over to a strange country with no prior experience in its culture or language and managed to learn it all within 8 years. Don't you think u can too?

The trouble with learning mandarin is that there are so many different ways to say the same thing, often depending on the context, or how formal you want to be, which is why I won't directly disagree with any of the translations here, but I do wish that learning material in general was more standard. Things like tone marks, which are completely absent from this video, are essential. Some books I've found even use non-standard pronunciations like "nee how" instead of nĭhăo. sorry for the rant

Same for how are you, (你好吗) nǐ hǎo ma ?
CannibalKalas 1 year ago
@CannibalKalas I am trying to learn chinese , and i learnt that ni hao is hello , like you said, and als ni hao ma = how are you. But also learnt that if you say nin hao , it is politer, so usually used to people older than you. ( almost every resource on internet says it too) But ni hao is more common if that is what you meant.
beautifulkoreansea 1 year ago
@CannibalKalas yes, a girl in my class come from China and she said ni hao. So it's right that you say there...
natty1417 1 year ago
@natty1417 She is definitely right, it is nǐ hǎo. This video is using the formal version of hello. You would say nín hǎo to someone that you don't know very well, or have never met, and to someone older than you, respectively.
saulandsam 1 year ago
@saulandsam yes, that's true. It's not nin hao ma either...
natty1417 1 year ago
@CannibalKalas Nǐ hǎo is used 2 people that you know, or friends, family, etc. You would use nín hǎo to someone that you've never met, or to older people. '你好吗' (nǐ hǎo ma?) is also used to friends and family whereas '您好吗?' (nín hǎo ma?) is used to people that you haven't met or is older than you. I speak Chinese, just like you, I do disagree with some of the translations in the video. I thought I was right, I asked my friend who teaches Chinese at a school, and she backed me up.
