Okay a few questions for the evening....

1) What is the Chinese for sun set?

2) I want to take a shot at saying: "
a place is 180 miles from here"  I think I know this pattern but it feels like I may have forgotten something

3) In a similar vein I want to say: "driving 180 miles takes 3.5 hours". this one I'm even more sketchy on...

4) Does the 把 measure word also apply to mobile phones?

5)Is there a chinese word for smartphone?
  my guess 聪明的手机 feels like it may be too literal..

老师,请问 I have started a group called "Daily learning journal" for doing a daily journal entry shared with the community.  I wonder if you might get the chance occasionally to look at my posts there are give me some feedback?

Lots in this one this week

1) Sunset = 落日 luòrì

My sons birthday cake had 19 candles

我儿子的蛋糕所有的十九蜡烛

2) my attempt here was

这里离那里是180英里

which compares to how it should be

一个离这里180英里的地方

一个离这里80米的房子

A house 80 meters from here

一个离那里80英里来大的树

a big tree 80 miles from there.

3) when driving the driving needs an amount of time

开车老婆的爸妈的家要三个小时半。

走购物广场要半个小时

4)把 is not the measure word for mobile phones.

部 is the measure word for mobile phones or just use 个 。  部 works for electrical appliances....

5) 聪明的手机这么错了! the proper term for a smart phone is 一部智能手机  zhìnéngshǒujī

智 has the meaning wisdom or knowledge (note the top of the char is 知道的知。

知道了,支是一个量词。 支的用法是什么 蜡烛和什么的

也知道了,现在知道为什么用的

开车去 去 is the verb but isn't 开车 also a verb?  or is it an adverb here?

can't see whats different here "一部智能手机"

as usual 多谢
