@frognotinawell

My textbook says for questions stated in the "A 不 A" form, the "不 A" is generally the neutral tone.

E.g.
Ni3 lei4 bu5 lei5?
Ni3 shi4 bu5 shi5 zhong1guo2ren2?

And then there is "Ni3 shi4 zhong1guo2ren2 bu5 shi5?" as well. And "Ni3 shi4 zhong1guo2ren2 ma5?"

There's definitely some problem with the sound in this QW. This one has less treble and a disturbing background buzz.

Hi!

What's the difference between 特快 (te4kuai4), 动车 (dong4che1) and the 直达 (zhi2da2)?

Here's a nice sentence I heard in China: 我给你照一张. One of my friends said it while reaching for my camera. He wanted to take a picture of me standing in front of one of the buildings on the square of Tian'an men.

我给你照一张 wo3 gei3 ni3 zhao4 yi1 zhang1
照 zhao4 [verb] take a photograph
张 zhang1 [measure word for flat objects]
