I would love to learn some more functional Chinese, especially Chinese that will allow me to become self sufficient in my own learning. I have a year of Chinese under my belt, but I am having trouble speaking to Chinese natives/students here in Shanghai. Can you translate the following phrases to me in Chinese and Pinyin?

1) How do I say this word in Chinese?

2) How do I say this phrase in Chinese?

3) What is the most standard way to say X in Chinese?

4) verb, noun, adjective. Is word X an adjective?

5) If I say something unusual or pronounce something unusually, can you do me a favor and correct me?

6) Since I am trying to learn Chinese, can you give me some useful phrases to say in Chinese everyday?

7)How do I use Chinese to say X? Can you provide me an example sentence? Can you use the word in a sentence?

    1。这个词你怎么念? 2。这句话用汉语怎么说? 3。普通话最标准的方法说X是什么? 4。名词、动词、形容词,X 这个词是形容词吗? 5。说不寻常的词句或发音异常的话,你能不能帮我一下,给我改正,好吗? 6。因为想学习中文,您能不能讲给我一些汉语词组为了日常使用。 7。用汉语X怎么说?能不能给我提供个例句呢?能不能在某句子中用这词语? maybe instead of 能不能 use 请。。。好吗

好像缺乏声调标记的拼音使用有限 (it seems pinyin w/o tone marks is of limited use),因为有用于这一目的的在线工具,第一评论作者好像认为把文字转变成拼音是不必要的(怎么还会有使用者不知道这事情?)(as there are online tools for that purpose, author of first comment containing suggestions apparently thought it unnecessary to use some online converter for conversion)以下就请看一眼这种转换的结果:

1 。 zhège cí nǐ zěnme niàn

2 。 zhè jù huà yòng hànyǚ (no umlaut) zěnme shuō ?

3 。 pǔtōnghuà zuì biāozhǔn de fāngfǎ shuō X shì shénme ?

4 。 míngcí 、 dòngcí 、 xíngróngcí ,zhège cí shì xíngróngcí ma ?

5 。 shuō bù xúncháng de cíjù huò fāyīn yìcháng dehuà , nǐ néng bùnéng bāng wǒ yīxià , gěi wǒ gǎizhèng , hǎo ma ?

6 。 yīnwèi wǒ (wǒ could be omitted, since clear from context )xiǎng xuéxí zhōngwén , nín néng bùnéng jiǎng gěi wǒ yīxiē hànyǚ (no umlaut) cízǔ wèile rìcháng shǐyòng 。

7 。 yòng hànyǚ (no umlaut) zěnme shuō ? néng bùnéng gěi wǒ tígōng gè lìjù ne ? néng bùnéng zài mǒu jùzi zhōng yòng zhè cíyǔ ?

To get the changes (corrections) in answer 1, use online converter again.

  • No need to be snarky... sometimes the online tools don't translate it properly. With language, I just like leaving it to a person's ear instead of relying on computerized conversion.
