Posted on: What's your (animal) sign?
March 30, 2014 at 2:49 PM

These signs are very unfair to some people. One person is a dragon or a lion and another is chicken, rat or pig !!!

Fortunately there is no cockroach :-/ ...

My Chinese sign is 狗 :-(

But my favourite is 龙 。 And since my zodiac sing is aquarius, I invented the idea that because in Chinese mitology dragon is related to water, I'm possibly a bit of a dragon too :-)))

Hello everyone,

In the extension I found interesting expressions such as考试的时候.

Can I use it as a pattern Action +的时候 + something else ?

For example I want to say 'when I have free time .." 有空的时候我看书 ?

Being asked 你是哪个国家的 how to give a simple answer with the country name. Something like "I'm from ... ".

We can say 我是波兰 人 (In my case of course :-) ) But if I want to say precisely this sentence "I'm from ...."

A simple question related loosly to this lesson. If I just want to say "I'm married", which expression do  I use ? Can I use something derived from the verb 结婚 ？

Thank, you.

I like the sound of 太太 :-) On the other hand, I hope local peole understand that foreigners make mistakes in the use of Chinese and don't get offended so easiliy.

After reading all these discussions above, I still don't know how to say 'wife' properly. There are certain situations and it also depends on the region. I'm really confused :-/. I wish there was one neutral word which I could use safely ...

Let's consider such a situation I introduce my wife to someone. Which word do I use ? For example, in a sentence  这 是 我 妻子 is 妻子 used correctly ？

Or in a sentence "My wifes' name is”：  我 妻子 叫（here comes my wife's name). Does it soud ok ?
