Lesson 57 – Four special greetings you need to
know in China (II)


Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Last time, I introduced one special greeting you need to know in China. Today, we will talk about the second special greeting you need to know in China.

nǐ gàn shén me qù? /  qù nǎ er yā?
             去?/      呀?
(What are you going to do? / Where are you going?)    

Converstaion 1 
A: nǐ qù nǎ er yā?
       哪儿  呀?(Where are you going?)
B: méi shì, suí biàn guàng guàng / chū qù sàn bù qù.
         事,随    便              逛。/                去。
(I have nothing to do, just walk around. / just take a walk.)

Converstaion 2
A: gàn má qù ya?
            呀?(What are you going to do?)
B: liù wān er ne.   nǐ ne?
        呢。你 呢?(Just walk around. You?)
A: wǒ yě liù wān er ne.  huí jiàn!
                呢。回   见!
     (I am walking around too. See you later.)
B:  huí jiàn!
          见!(See you!)

Converstaion 4

            呀?(What are you going to do?)
B: mái dōng xī qù.   nǐ qù bù qù?
               西 去。你     去?
(I will go shopping. Do you want to go?)
A: wǒ bù qù, nǐ máng qù. huí liáo!
          ,         去。回  聊!
     (I do not want to go. You go ahead, and talk to you later.)

Ok, today’s idiom is

                        chún wáng chǐ hán
                                      齿  

---meansIf the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. This idiom is used to describe the relationship between peoples, between countries, and so on. If one of two interdependent things falls, the other is in danger. ”
Ok, that is all for today.

xiè  xiè!

xià  cì  jiàn 
     !  (See you next time!)
