January 31, 2011 at 4:01 AMI have 2 questions :
1. Can we say “ 换位子 ” , instead of “ 换个位子” ？ Can we just leave out the 个 in this phrase ?
2. In the dialogue, the first person used 您 to address the second person, but the second person used 你 to ask about the first person's seat. Is there any reason for this ? Is there something that we can infer from one of them using 您， and the other using 你 ? Or can it be that either 你 or 您 can be used by either person ?

January 28, 2011 at 7:17 AMI generally like any sort of translation/transliteration over just plain using an unmodified foreign word . I think the characters in 非死不可 could definitely have been picked out better. Off the top of my head : 飞思簿客

January 28, 2011 at 6:02 AMSo 哥们儿 can be singular or plural ?
If I only have one close guy-friend, can he be my 哥们儿 ？

January 28, 2011 at 4:28 AMI'm wondering about the vocabulary word for Facebook:
| ' fēisǐbùkě ' |
Why are there quotation marks on sides of both the characters and the pinyin ? Do people actually say 非死不可 / fēisǐbùkě , or is this a new tranlation that Chinesepod made ? I like it a lot !!!!! I've just never heard of it, and the quotation marks make me more curious about it

January 31, 2011 at 5:24 AMam I wrong, or is the word 您 on the decline, and rarely ever used ? Is it a word that's not far from being out of date?
