Thanks antony73. That makes sense.

 

Here's one more "question"...

不好意思，只有这一间了。
Buhaoyisi, zhiyou zhe yi jian le.
I guess the 间 functions as a measure word here. Somewhat like the 个 in 这一个 zhe yi ge (this one).

Hi light487

try copy/paste 只有 into the search field and expand the search. Tick the "Lesson Dialogue & Vocabulary" box and go. You'll have a lot of hits. I noticed the results deal with zhi3you3 and zhi3yao4.

Hi chris,

I think there should be a 没 mei2 instead of 不 bu4 to make the sentence "I really didn't eat".

QW mei2 vs. bu4 (I didn't listen to it yet. Hope it makes sense though...)

mei2

Hi,

I've encountered a few ways of asking a person's age. I reccon 1 is for kids, 2 is moderately respectful and 3 and 4 are respectful. My grammar book says duo1 should have the 2:nd tone when preceding a 4:th tone (e.g. duo2 da4). Is that right? Besides, why is it 岁数多大 (not 多大岁数) and 多大年纪 (not 年纪多大)? 有 any fancy grammar terms to describe that?

1 你几岁了？ ni3 ji3 sui4 le? How old are you?
2 你多大了？ ni duo1 da4 le? How old are you?
3 您多大年纪了？ nin2 duo1 da4 nian2ji4 le? How old are you?
4 您岁数多大了？ nin2 sui4shu duo1 da4 le? How old are you?

Hi all!

Just want to share this dialogue. It made my day. ^_^

Btw, does anyone hear where the chef comes from? I'm not used to his accent apparently.
