Posted on: I'm Not Here

Hi,

Regarding the pronouciation of 喂:

Your pages show wei2.  My dictionary shows wei4 for "telephone greeting".

Which one?  When I hear Chinese people on the telephone, they use wei2.

Thanks, Kevin

Hi,

What is the difference between these two sentences?  If there is no difference, please tell me which is more common.  Perhaps one is for writing and the other for speaking.

你会说中文吗？你可以说中文吗？

Thanks!

Hi,

On the expansion page:

你住在几楼？
What floor does he live on? 1 (What floor does he live on?)

This should read "you", not "he", as 你 is used.

Hi,

Can you please explain the difference between these two sentences?

你在哪儿？

你在哪里？

I think the meaning is roughly the same, but I hope you can provide some "native" insight.  Maybe native speakers perfer one or the other for different situations.

谢谢，凯文

I am taking the mini-exam.

请_____慢一点。

The choices are all incorrect.  The closest it 说.  However I believe it is missing the modifier 得。

The full sentence should be: 请说得慢一点。

Please let me know if my thinking is incorrect!

On supplementary vocab page, 太快的太 is missing.  Can you please add?  I can only see on character, 快.  The pinyin shown is tài kuài.  Thanks!
