Lesson 175 – The difference between jiā rén and rén jia

Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Last time we had a conversation 3 from bú jiàn bú sàn. Today, we will talk about the difference between jiā rén and rén jia. 

jiā rén                                rén jia

家  人  (Family, folk)          人  家 (Other people)

tā jū rán rèn shí nǐ de jiā rén, zhēn shi tài qiǎo le.

他居  然    认  识  你 的 家  人，  真    是  太   巧   了。

(What a coincidence that he actually knows your family.)

Liú Yáng zài 13 suì shí suí jiā rén yí mín dào le měi guó.

 刘     阳    在13  岁   时  随  家  人  移  民    到  了  美    国。

(Liu Yang immigrated to USA with his family at 13.)

rén jia néng zuò dào de, wǒ men yě néng zuò dào.

 人  家    能     做   到   的,  我    们  也     能     做   到。

(What other people can do we can do, too.)

wǒ dǎo shì hǎo xīn hǎo yì, kě shì rén jiā bù lǐng qíng.

我    倒   是    好  心    好  意, 可  是  人  家  不   领    情。

(I was full of good intentions, but they didnn’t appreciate.)

rén jiā dōu zhè me shuō.

 人  家   都    这   么    说。(That's what everybody says.)

Ok, that is all for today.

xiè xiè!

 谢  谢 ! (Thanks!)

xià cì jiàn

 下 次 见!  (See you next time!)
