September 18, 2008 at 11:08 AMIs this sentence supposed to have NE at the end? Would NE change the meaning?
(Mr. Wang hasn't arrived yet.)

September 17, 2008 at 9:03 PMYes, Thank you John (and Jenny) for your excellent explanations.
I, too, didn't fully understand the translations for liao3jie3 and zhi1dao4. However, now that I'm aware of the slight difference, I'll elect to translate liao3jie3 as "aware".
I found a lot of golden nuggets in this lesson! Thanks again.

September 17, 2008 at 11:55 AMThanks Ken. I never knew the Chinese word for pepper. Now, I don't think I will ever forget it.
I am going on vacation in a few weeks. I can hardly wait to practice the vocabulary.

September 11, 2008 at 12:40 PMOne of my textbooks uses waitou, litou, etc. However, my Chinese teacher prefers that I use waimian, limian, etc. What's the difference? According to this book, I can even use waibian, libian, etc without changing the meaning of the sentence.
xiexie bangzhu wo.

September 8, 2008 at 12:19 PMIs there a difference between wuliao and meiyou yisi? So, can I say: wo bu qu. meiyou yisi.

July 5, 2008 at 2:40 AMWhen I visited Macao my guide took me to her favorite bakery for egg tarts. So, I agree with Jenny when she expressed how delicious the tiny egg tarts are.
Before taking me to three different casinos (I didn't gamble.), my guide showed me a long but very interesting street behind the casinos. Interesting because almost all the businesses were pawnshops.

July 2, 2008 at 11:24 PMIn February I travelled to Harbin to see the snow and ice sculptures. The sculptures were absolutely amazing!! Anyway, while in Harbin my friends and I dined in a typical Russian restaurant and visited a few Russian sites. It felt strange being in China but enjoying many things so typical of Russia -- including the biting cold winter!

June 29, 2008 at 1:54 AMOut of curiosity, why are so many of the models in China western-looking instead of Asian?

September 18, 2008 at 10:27 PMI thought the pattern hai mei(you) VERB ne expressed an act that has not yet begun but is about to begin or about to be completed.
Also, can I say, Wang Xiansheng dao le meiyou? to mean, "Has Mr. Wang arrived yet?"
KIEN, what a brilliant theory!
