Thanks for confirming.

Is this sentence format incorrect?

nǐhǎo, wǒ de xíngli kěyǐ zài zhèlǐ fàng ma?

Compared with 'nǐhǎo, wǒ de xíngli kěyǐ fàng zài zhèlǐ ma' as provided in the dialogue? 

(I'm going on the notion that in Mandarin the time words are placed before the action?)

Thank you.

Awesome - thank you for clarifying - I'd like to quote your answer in a blog post - may I?

Hi there. Is it correct to use ‘有‘ instead of 是 for example 书有什么形状的？

If asking for a lighter which one of these would be used most often? 

你有打火机吗？

你有火吗？

Thanks!

The Chinese name or one of a few suggested by my Chinese teacher was 爱 美 / Ai4Mei3. Most Chinese people were really amused at the name - actually they all were - without exception. I guess I need a new name - any tips on getting one that's perhaps less amusing?
