Level 1 -- Lesson 1

For a foreign Expat who just arrived China, I think the first thing you want to do is trying to ask for something or to buy something. Here is the easiest magical Chinese sentence for you:

wǒ  yào  zhè  gè。

我   要    这    个。 Which means: I want this.

or

wǒ   yào   nà   gè 。

我     要     那    个。 Which means: I want that.

Useful explanation:

wǒ ( wo3 )

我         means:   I  ,  Me

yào ( yao4 )

要         means：  want

zhè gè  ( zhe4 ge4 )

这  个    means:    this

nà gè  ( na4 ge4 )

那  个     means    that

Questions and answers:

nǐ yào shí me

Q: 你  要  什 么 ？  What do you want ?

wǒ  yào  zhè  gè

A: 我   要    这    个。 I want this.

or

wǒ   yào   nà   gè 。

我     要     那    个。 I want that.

If you can speak this sentence well, it means you can ask for anything even you don’t know the name of the thing in Chinese. So please try to practice with your Chinese friend or colleagues this magical sentence now. :)

Thanks for your learning with our Mandarinedu Group. See you next time （下次见，xià cì jiàn  ）.
