Never heard of it. I don't really watch that much Chinese TV unless there is a concert or something.

oh right thanks

I edited my post :P

chanman · #294 May 07, 2009, 05:13 PM

Any more requests?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
Anything in daily life, think, "Do I know how to say this in _____?". If you don't know, come back and ask here!

Jessica · #295 May 07, 2009, 05:53 PM

weather

I know some, but I would like to know what hurricane and tornado are. I have a Chinese book I can look that has those, but I don't have it at this moment

bobjenkins · #296 May 07, 2009, 08:15 PM

jchen great thread!! My computadora doesn't show the chinese characters I think I need a language pack or something!

Anyone I am wondering how do you type the different words? Is there a keyboard or do you need to use the mouse to write them? Might seem like a strange question but from what I know there are so many differnt characters in chinese! like 80000 and no alphebet.

¡Gracias!

Jessica · #297 May 08, 2009, 01:57 PM

for the characters I went here and typed in the pinyin and chose the appropriate character. and for the accents...well I typed the English meaning in the dictionary and copied and pasted the letter with the accent (ones that look like Spanish ones I don't need to). That's what I do.

chanman · #298 May 08, 2009, 05:12 PM

I created my own keyboard layout for Pīnyīn purposes, and I downloaded Chinese typing software for characters. I posted them somewhere in this thread, but am too lazy to find it now. hehe

lee ying · #299 May 11, 2009, 04:46 PM

I don`t want to bother you again but I want to know something else:
how can I say.
my age . I`m from , my presetation when I am talking with a hinese person . do you underestand me? ^_ ^
I hope you can help again. ^_ ^

Jessica · #300 May 11, 2009, 07:32 PM

There are 3 ways to ask How old are you?:

Nǐ duō da? 你多大？You can ask anyone this :P This actually means "How big are you?"
Nǐ duō shǎo suì? 你多少岁？Ask people a little older this.
Nǐ jǐ suì? 你几岁？You ask people that are very young (under 12 I think) this.

suì (岁) means age.

¿Cuántos años tienes?
Tengo _____ años.

Nǐ duō shǎo suì?
Wǒ ______ suì.

chanman, if you have additional info, please post it ^_^ and tell me if I have my info wrong....:/
