hi msmata, The most common way in Chinese would be to say: 你怎么走路的? Nǐ zěnme zǒulù de?

hi user11695, When you use 遍 (biàn) it should be for actions that you go all the way through, from beginning to end. 次 (cì) can be partial, but 遍 (biàn) cannot.

anayelena, You're right. When speaking of people you are quite familiar with, you can omit the 的 (de). So, you also don't need the 的 (de) when speaking of a friend or girlfriend.

Hi Bill, 你没事吧? Nǐ méishì ba? 你还好吗? Nǐ hái hǎo ma? Both are used, and correct!

hi AZERDocMom, You can say 头盔 (Tóukuī) or 安全帽 (Ānquánmào) for helmet!

By the way everyone, that tiger balm comment was Clay's thinly veiled reference to his baseball card.... he's waiting for someone to bring it up (in case anyone wants autographs).
