吵架(chǎo jià) and 争吵(zhēng chǎo) means to quarrel. 争 itself can be 'argue' or 'contend', even to fight for something physically.

December 3, 2010 at 4:06 PMIn ancient China, 皇 and 帝 both mean emperor. People use them in different dynasties. One of the emperors in history put those two words together to make a more powerful word. And he called himself 始(shǐ, start)皇帝, which means the very first emperor. You may know his name--秦始皇qínshǐhuáng.

December 2, 2010 at 2:02 PMHey Sarah, to me it's more like a neutral tone there. We often say it to people who are close to us. It's like saying 'what are you worrying about, you can tell me'

Posted on: What does she look like?
December 4, 2010 at 3:46 PMThat's right. If you are asked to pick a girl up at the airport and you ask 她长得怎么样？ It's like you are interested in how good looking this girl is. The other way we use to ask what people look like is 长什么样zhǎngshénmeyàng. Literally, it's 'grow what appearance'. The answers for 长得怎么样 and 长什么样 are the same though.
