I'm learning Chinese as a hobby. I love the language and many aspects of Chinese culture. It is difficult, but also challenging! Since I'm in Croatia, there are very few books to learn from, and even less Chinese people to practise with. Internet is virtually all I have.
Due to all this (and lack of spare time to learn), I am an extreme beginner, even after messing about for over two years! :(
Feel free to contact me if you're bored to death and would like to chat with me on Skype once in a blue moon (and laugh at my 外国人普通话:)).
Please don't laugh at my stupid questions!

What is 人 doing in 你现在人在哪里？ Also, is it necessary to separate the two 在s? Or is it just something which makes you sound more natural or "more native"? |

What is 人 doing in 你现在人在哪里？ Oh, so "你现在在哪里？" can be used to mean "where are you [intellectually]"? Is it in the sense of "what are you thinking about right now" or "what do you think now [about that issue we talked about earlier]"? I'm guessing the latter..? |

What is 人 doing in 你现在人在哪里？ This may be a stupid question, but how are the answers to those questions different? Aren't they both asking about physical location? |

What is 被 doing in sentence “这种病在三十年前就被根除了”? @JamesJiao / NS.X: Thanks for this, the English examples are quite helpful, I think I understand the general theme here. Grammar is not my strong suit, I just kind of intuit my way through languages, so hopefully I'll get a chance to pracise this some day. |

What is 被 doing in sentence “这种病在三十年前就被根除了”? Well, that makes sense now. Is there a fixed number of Chinese verbs which can have this form with 被, or you can "convert" any verb that fits the sentence? |

What is 被 doing in sentence “这种病在三十年前就被根除了”? That "active form with passive meaning" part doesn't sound confusing at all! :) |

How does tone sandhi apply in people's names? Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I left the question open for a few days in case someone else wants to chip in, but it seems your answer covered it all. Thanks! |
