February 19, 2008, 03:07 AM posted in General DiscussionMorning guys,
I am going to share some more words or sentences about soup with you guys since today's newbie lesson is about hot soup.
First, let's talk about the measure word.
When it comes to soup,rice or noodle, you should use一碗yi1wan3=a bowl of
一碗汤yi1wan3 tang1=a bowl of soup 一碗饭yi1wan3 fan4=a bowl of rice
一碗面yi1wan3 mian4=a bowl of noodle
However, if you want some dishes, you should use the measure word
一盘yi1pan2=a dish of
second, let me give you some detail examples, don't worry, they are very easy.
清汤qing1tang1=clear soup 香菇汤xiang1gu1 tang1=dried mushroom soup
请给我一碗清汤。qing3 gei3 wo3 yi1wan3 qing1tang1
Give me a bowl of clear soup please.
我要一碗香菇汤。wo3 yao4 yi1wan3 xiang1gu1tang1
I want a bowl of dried mushroom soup.
你要喝汤吗？ni3 yao4 he1tang1 ma? Do you want to eat /drink soup?
要。 yao4 I want.
你要什么汤呢？ni3 yao4 shen2me tang1 ne? What kind of soup you want?
我要香菇汤。wo3 yao4 xiang1gu1tang1 I want dried mushroom soup.
By the way, Jenny is right, people who live in south of China prefer to drink/eat soup first before meal. I am from south of China and i like soup very much. I can cook many kinds of soup by myself.
Hope you guys will like this post.

February 20, 2008, 01:16 AMCasie, you are the bomb. (thats a good thing) 馄饨 (won ton) soup is popular in Chinese restaurants in the US. 碗汤 (bowl soup) sounds similar the way americans pronounce it. So it should be 碗馄饨汤 wan won ton tang I think. A bowl of won ton soup. Can you make won ton soup? In the US we eat soup before the meal usually. In SH I always got soup at the end. -RJ
