John: So this guy's name is 大齐.
Dilu: 对。这是他的名。他不是姓＇齐＇，他的应该就叫什么大齐，可能是＇李大齐＇也＇王大齐＇。
John: Got it. We don't know his last name. What does the girl say to him at the beginning?
Dilu: 我昨天跟你说的那个问题修好了吗？
John: 'Did you fix the problem'. So 'fix', how do you say that?
Dilu: 修好。修好。
John: 修, that's 1st tone. When you add the 好 on the end, you know that its already been fixed.

Dilu: 对。是一个结果。
John: 修 is when you are going to fix it or trying to fix it.
Dilu: 没错。
John: Notice its 'have you fixed that problem that I told you about yesterday'.
Dilu: 对。昨天我跟你说的那个问题。
John: Remember in Chinese when you want to modify a noun, when you want to describe it in some way, it all comes before the noun. So for example we say 'that problem' ...
Dilu: 那个问题。
John: 'That problem that I told you about' ...

Dilu: 我跟你说的那个问题。
John: 'The problem that I told you about yesterday' ...
Dilu: 我昨天跟你说的那个问题。
John: This is a little bit weird at first, but once you hear it enough you get used to it.
Dilu: 对。那那个问题就是：有个用户他更新了一下app，结果他以前下载的东西都没了。
John: So 'a user' - how do we say that?
Dilu: 用户。用户。两个第四声。
John: Two 4th tones. The user did what?

Dilu: 更新。更新。
John: So he updated the app.
Dilu: 对。更新了一下app。更新了一下app。
John: 更新, that's two 1st tones.
Dilu: 对。两个第一声。
John: Some Chinese people say 'app', but a lot of them say 'A-P-P'.
Dilu: 也会说：A-P-P。
John: So he updated the app, and then what?
Dilu: 结果他以前下载的东西都没了。
John: 结果 - that's 2nd tone, 3rd tone.
Dilu: 对。就是 'as a result'，'turn out to be'。

John: So in this case there is a pretty direct cause-effect relationship, but you'll notice that sometimes 结果 is used without a real cause-effect, its just like 'and then this happened'.
Dilu: 对。
John: In this case, what's the result?
Dilu: 他以前下载的东西都没了。
John: The things he downloaded before all disappeared. How do you say 'download'?
Dilu: 下载。下载。第四声和第三声。
John: 4th tone, 3rd tone. So the programmer's response is ...
Dilu: 哦，我等会儿看看。我等会儿看看。

John: So 'look at it in a little while' - 等会儿看看. And then there's another problem.
Dilu: 对。还有一个用户，他想买东西，但是一直进不了支付页面。进不了支付页面。

John: So we know we're taking about a website now because we see the word ...
Dilu: 页面。页面。
John: Two 4th tones.
Dilu: 对。两个第四声。
John: That means 'page' of a website. And what page is it in this case?
Dilu: 是一个支付页面。支付页面。
John: 支付 - 1st tone, 4th tone - that's a formal way to say 'pay'.
Dilu: 对。是比较正式的说法。支付。
John: Its the same as 付, or 付钱.
Dilu: 你可以说：付钱。如果你说＇支付＇，就会有一些formal。
