When you type pinyin, please indicate tones with numbers, e.g. ni3hao3. Neutral tones should be marked 5.

Usually 线 is used, e.g. subway line 1, 地铁1号线(dìtiě yī hàoxiàn). Which line would be 哪条线.

This lesson actually came from the request of a user who gave us the outline. A topic like this can't possibly be covered in one lesson. That's just an aspect that this user found to be helpful. We put in a lot of research work before writing a lesson on specific and especially specialized topics while keeping up with the daily publication schedule. Your suggestions are duly noted. There's always room for improvement.

You are correct. But that's 喂, forth tone instead of second. It's a rather direct and impolite way of calling someone out.

"牠" is the traditional version of 它。The traditional system has three neuter third-person pronouns, 牠 (tā) for animals, 祂 for deities, and 它 for inanimate objects, but this distinction is sometimes blurred in actual usage; in simplified Chinese, 它 is used in place of 牠.

它 refers to non-human including animals and inanimate objects.
