Posted on: 你好 (Nǐhǎo) is a Many-Splendored Thing
October 28, 2008, 11:39 PMHow about if you wanted to say: Hi [name]
would it be 你好[name] or [name]好?
Also what if you wanted to say: Hi dad
would it be 爸爸好 like teacher is 老师好?
Thanks

There is no problem, you just need to match all 8 combinations. Obviously, if you get 7 right the other must be too.

October 21, 2008, 09:45 PMThanks,
From the expansion sentences from this lesson and this lesson, I assume 名字叫 and 名字是... are both fine.
Posted on: What's his name?
October 21, 2008, 11:49 AMPlease correct me if I'm wrong, but when asking about chinese/english names you say:
你的中文名字是什么
我的中文名字是...
你有 (一个) 英文名字吗
我没有 (一个) 英文名字 (do you need the 一个 or not?)
谢谢
Posted on: Numbers in Chinese
October 12, 2008, 07:00 AMI'm surprised that they didn't explain how to construct numbers.
I'll try one then:
2,2300,8019 (223 008 019)
二亿二十三百万八仟零一十九

Newbie + Elementary + Intermediate + Upper Intermediate + Advanced + Media = 968
I assume 32 have been taken off
968 + Vocab Tour + Movie Madness + Dear Amber + News and Features + Qing Wen = 1159

October 01, 2008, 10:32 PMIs there no word for 'brother' or 'sister' besides older/younger bro/sis?
How would you ask "Have you any brothers?"

November 08, 2008, 12:21 PMI was told by a friend today that all past sentences must have a 了 on the end. I doubt that Amber is wrong so could someone please provide some example sentences so that I can ask my friend about it.
Thanks
