Lesson 15 – Apologize in Chinese

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Last time, we learned how to say compliments in Chinese. Today, we are going to learn how to apologize in Chinese.

Before we start to learn how to apologize in Chinese mandarin, we need to check the homework I gave to you last time.

Please listen to me and check if you read them correctly.

1.    duì  bù  qǐ !

     对  不  起！

2.    méi guān xi .

          没   关   系

Did you read them correctly? Ok, Congratulations! You have already known how to read Chinese characters by using Chinese mandarin pinyin.

Now, let’s start to learn how to apologize in Chinese mandarin.

These two sentences are about apology in Chinese.

1.    duì  bù  qǐ !

     对  不  起！(Sorry!)

2.    méi guān xi .

            没   关   系 (It’s OK.)

Ok, let’s see more apologies in Chinese language.

bù  hǎo yì  si

不 好 意 思 （Excuse me!）

qǐng yuán liàng !

  请      原     谅  （Please forgive me!）

wǒ  bú  shì  gù   yì  de .

 我   不    是    故   意   的。（I did not mean to do that.）

 bú shì nǐ de cuò.

 不  是   你  的  错。（It's not your fault.）

Homework for today.

Please read these two sentences by using the Chinese pinyin you have learned. I will read them in our next class, so you can check if your pronunciation is correct.

     这    是   我   的  爸   爸。
