This is my book
Zhè shì wǒde shū.
We are going to teach you how to express persessive in Chinese: my book, your chair, my tea, your coffee etc. The key word is “de”, similar to the French “de” and Spanish “de”. The possessive is fairly straight forward in Chinese, it can be expressed by a simple formula: Pronoun + de + object.

Is that a watch? – Nà shìbúshi shǒubiǎo?
We are going to learn how to say cup, watch and telephone in Chinese. We learned how to say “this” in Chinese already and I am certain by now you must be very comfortable using it. So in this session’s learnchinesepod we would not bring it up again to bombard your ear, we are going to discover “nà” – the brother of “zhè”.

Learn Beginner Chinese 4
What is that? – Nà shì shénme?
You have learned so far two different way to ask questions:
1) with “ma” – Yes-or-No question
2) with “shìbúshì” structure
Questions are important and they are key to our daily conversation since not only you can obtain information from other person, you can also show your interest!
We are going to teach you another very useful way to ask questions using “shénme”. This episode is important, because the three new words we are going to learn appear frequently into any conversation.

In this session, you will be learning another way to ask yes-or-no questions in Chinese; it’s not as straightforward as the question formed with a “ma” ending (learned in the previous episode). But you can surely master it by following the instructor closely when you are listening to the sound file. Make sure you can say out the sentences loudly along with the recording.

After a quick review, in this class you will be learning how to ask yes-or-no questions?! Don’t be scared, it’s really a piece of cake. If you are smart enough to turn on your computer and find learnchinesepod.com and download this document. I promise it wouldn’t take you more than 2 minutes to master the skill!
