bweedin,

I don't expect folk to agree...I value your opinion, so thanks for that. Interesting.

bodawei,

you know that's exactly what toianw came up with by way of explanation when we were working on the Advanced transcript for 中国通。 At the time I thought it was an excellent explanation. However, while it still could be correct, when I struck it in this lesson, it sounded so identical to the one in the other lesson that I was really left with the impression that this "sh" sound was deliberate and not a switching between words or a stuttering...that something else was going on. By the way, it's always nice to get your opinion so thanks for that, but I do also hope Connie or David will come and solve the mystery for me [ or at least that is confirm that you guys are right]. I'd love you to listen to the other one and then this and then hear what your opinion is.

谢谢Connie。现在听得清

I'm intrigued by what David says at 0:34 secs in this last bit:

大笑的笑

when he says that 大 it sounds like he gets an slightly prolonged and exaggerated "sh" sound in front of it. I heard him do exactly the same thing in the Advanced lesson 中国通。 Could you please explain what this "sh" sound in front of 大 is about. I'm dying of curiosity.

ok, well the bits that were most unclear there were:

省略语 [but I guess I'll just have to listen to the rest of the podcast to get more of an idea there]

再想想开刀、上刑、上吊....... [is it something to do with omitting/chopping out words being like surgery on the words?]

别喝可乐,小心呛到哦![is this because you might suddenly laugh and choke on your cola, suddenly gasp at this surgery business and choke, or burp from the gas of the cola?]
