I hope you can study these words, if you have any question in wharever word, you ask me or ask her ( jessica) jessican can help us. Am i right? *_*

[Jessica]

that's an awful lot of characters.. weird. I thought 这 (this) was zhè not zhèi. I suppose not all of them are verbs.

[lee ying]

no, you can se some numbers, and animals for example, 雨(yŭ) 鱼(yú) 一(yī) , you´re right... * _*

[Jessica]

oh, yes that's right. there are nouns, adjectives, verbs all kinds.

[Jessica]

I can tell you only some of the meanings, because there are some that I don't recognize.
Let's start with Y and Z

Y 要(yào) want
药(yào) medicine
也(yĕ) also, as well
一(yī) one
右(yòu) right
有(yŏu) have
语(yŭ) language
雨(yŭ) rain
鱼(yú) fish
元(yuán) measure word for $

Z 在(zài) be
早(zăo) early
长(zhăng / cháng) grow/long
这(zhè) this
中(zhōng) middle
坐(zuò) sit
左(zuŏ) left

[lee ying]

thank you so much.. I hope you can teach me after to know these words you can teach me how to write a senteces, it´s like spanish or english structure.ok. but now let me study. ook. *_*

[Jessica]

you're welcome I would be glad to teach you some sentences

[lee ying]

alright, thank you.*_* but I how to write God in chinese. tell me please..

[Zsilo]

Han bing is hello in mandarin and huan ying is welcome right?

I find Mandarin structure is very difficult for me to wrap my head around.

[Jessica]

"hello" is ni hao.
for welcome, it depends....
http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/dictionary.html go here and search for welcome....

[Jessica]

okay, it's kind of complicated to explain how to write a character. But I can say there are rules on how you write them.

for characters with bottom and top parts, you have to start at the top then gradually go down.
for characters with left and right parts: left >>> right


to write sun, rì, you can't just write a box first then put the line through it. you have to write it this way...
1. shu (vertical line)
2. heng zhe (horizontal line then a turning that's a vertical line...)
3. gou (hook)
4. heng (inside - heng means horizontal line)
5. heng (closes the "box")

so rì looks like this: 日

actually the real meaning of sun is 太阳, tài yàng
ri would be used for sun also and these:
Japan (for ri ben) / day / sun / date / day of the month

if you have questions feel free to ask.

[Jessica]

If I would compare Chinese to Spanish, I'll say Spanish is easier to learn (for others; to me it's Chinese, of course). That's my opinion.
What do you think?
