00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach.

00:03.000 --> 00:06.000
Money Module Unit 3, Production Tape 1.

00:07.000 --> 00:12.000
On the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand a number of sentences about purchasing things.

00:12.000 --> 00:15.000
Before you learn how to say these things, let's review them.

00:15.000 --> 00:18.000
Give an English equivalent for each of the following sentences.

00:20.000 --> 00:21.000
Number 1

00:22.000 --> 00:24.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶.

00:26.000 --> 00:28.000
Please give me that vase to look at.

00:28.000 --> 00:33.000
哪个?这个蓝的还是这个红的?

00:36.000 --> 00:39.000
Which one? This blue one or this red one?

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

00:45.000 --> 00:47.000
Give me both of them to look at, all right?

00:48.000 --> 00:49.000
好。

00:50.000 --> 00:51.000
Certainly.

00:52.000 --> 00:53.000
Number 2

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
蓝的太贵了。

00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
The blue kind is too expensive.

01:01.000 --> 01:03.000
我买红的吧。

01:05.000 --> 01:07.000
I'll buy the red kind, I guess.

01:08.000 --> 01:10.000
红的便宜。

01:11.000 --> 01:13.000
The red kind is cheaper.

01:14.000 --> 01:16.000
您有大一点的吗?

01:18.000 --> 01:20.000
Do you have a little larger one?

01:20.000 --> 01:23.000
有。您看这个怎么样?

01:25.000 --> 01:27.000
Yes, what do you think of this one?

01:28.000 --> 01:30.000
这个大的真好看。

01:33.000 --> 01:35.000
This large one is really nice looking.

01:36.000 --> 01:37.000
Number 4

01:38.000 --> 01:40.000
这两个学生哪个好?

01:43.000 --> 01:45.000
Which of these two students is better?

01:46.000 --> 01:47.000
司马信好。

01:47.000 --> 01:48.000
司马信 is better.

01:49.000 --> 01:50.000
Number 5

01:51.000 --> 01:52.000
你要几个?

01:54.000 --> 01:55.000
How many do you want?

01:57.000 --> 01:58.000
请你给我两个吧。

02:00.000 --> 02:01.000
Would you give me two please?

02:03.000 --> 02:05.000
If you had any problems with those sentences,

02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
rewind the tape and work on them some more.

02:07.000 --> 02:08.000
If you understand them all,

02:08.000 --> 02:10.000
you can begin learning how to say them.

02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
This tape is set in Peking.

02:12.000 --> 02:13.000
Listen.

02:13.000 --> 02:15.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶。

02:18.000 --> 02:19.000
Repeat the verb to look at.

02:20.000 --> 02:21.000
看。

02:22.000 --> 02:23.000
看。

02:25.000 --> 02:26.000
The same verb reduplicated means

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
to look around or to have a look.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
Reduplicated verbs are toneless on the second syllable.

02:31.000 --> 02:33.000
Repeat to have a look.

02:33.000 --> 02:34.000
看看。

02:36.000 --> 02:37.000
看看。

02:38.000 --> 02:39.000
Repeat.

02:39.000 --> 02:42.000
看看。

02:42.000 --> 02:43.000
Repeat.

02:43.000 --> 02:44.000
Please give it to me to look at.

02:45.000 --> 02:47.000
请你给我看看。

02:50.000 --> 02:51.000
请你给我看看。

02:53.000 --> 02:55.000
Notice that in English we must say it.

02:55.000 --> 02:57.000
Please give it to me to look at.

02:57.000 --> 03:00.000
Chinese doesn't have to have a word like it in the sentence.

03:00.000 --> 03:01.000
Repeat.

03:01.000 --> 03:03.000
Please give it to me to look at again.

03:03.000 --> 03:08.000
请你给我看看。

03:09.000 --> 03:10.000
请你给我看看。

03:15.000 --> 03:16.000
Repeat the verb for vase.

03:17.000 --> 03:18.000
Literally flower bottle.

03:19.000 --> 03:20.000
花瓶。

03:22.000 --> 03:23.000
花瓶。

03:24.000 --> 03:25.000
Repeat that vase.

03:26.000 --> 03:27.000
那个花瓶。

03:27.000 --> 03:31.000
那个花瓶。

03:34.000 --> 03:37.000
When you do want to name what it is you want to look at,

03:37.000 --> 03:39.000
you put it after the verb as you'd expect.

03:39.000 --> 03:40.000
Repeat.

03:40.000 --> 03:42.000
Please give me that vase to look at.

03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶。

03:50.000 --> 03:52.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶。

03:52.000 --> 03:56.000
How do you say please give it to me to look at?

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000
请你给我看看。

04:02.000 --> 04:04.000
How do you say that vase?

04:06.000 --> 04:07.000
那个花瓶。

04:09.000 --> 04:12.000
How do you say please give me that vase to look at?

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶。

04:17.000 --> 04:19.000
Literally flower bottle.

04:21.000 --> 04:23.000
Listen to the shopkeeper's reply.

04:24.000 --> 04:27.000
那个这个蓝的还是这个红的。

04:29.000 --> 04:31.000
Repeat the verb to be blue.

04:32.000 --> 04:33.000
蓝。

04:34.000 --> 04:35.000
蓝。

04:37.000 --> 04:42.000
In the last unit you learned that an adjectival verb plus the marker 德 could be used as a noun.

04:42.000 --> 04:48.000
For instance 小 to be small plus 德 yields 小的 the small one or the small ones.

04:48.000 --> 04:51.000
How do you say how much are the small ones?

04:54.000 --> 04:56.000
小的多少钱?

04:57.000 --> 05:00.000
Here we can do the same thing with the verbs for color.

05:00.000 --> 05:01.000
Repeat the blue one.

05:02.000 --> 05:03.000
蓝的。

05:05.000 --> 05:06.000
蓝的。

05:07.000 --> 05:10.000
Repeat which one this blue one?

05:10.000 --> 05:13.000
哪个?这个蓝的吗?

05:16.000 --> 05:19.000
哪个?这个蓝的吗?

05:25.000 --> 05:27.000
Repeat the verb to be red.

05:27.000 --> 05:28.000
红。

05:30.000 --> 05:31.000
红。

05:33.000 --> 05:35.000
Repeat the verb for or.

05:36.000 --> 05:37.000
还是。

05:37.000 --> 05:39.000
还是。

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
Repeat this blue one or this red one.

05:44.000 --> 05:46.000
Notice the word order follows English.

05:48.000 --> 05:51.000
这个蓝的还是这个红的。

05:54.000 --> 05:57.000
这个蓝的还是这个红的。

06:02.000 --> 06:06.000
In the last module you learned that an or question in Chinese can be formed without the or.

06:06.000 --> 06:09.000
As in 是男孩子是女孩子。

06:09.000 --> 06:12.000
If you repeat the verb and the nouns.

06:12.000 --> 06:16.000
When only the nouns are said, the word 还是 must be said.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
How do you say this blue one or this red one?

06:23.000 --> 06:25.000
这个蓝的还是这个红的?

06:27.000 --> 06:30.000
Perhaps you'd like to see both the blue one and the red one.

06:30.000 --> 06:31.000
Listen.

06:31.000 --> 06:35.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

06:37.000 --> 06:40.000
You've seen the adverb 都 all used before.

06:40.000 --> 06:42.000
Here it's translated as both.

06:42.000 --> 06:45.000
Repeat, give me both of them to look at.

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
那两个都给我看看.

06:51.000 --> 06:54.000
那两个都给我看看.

06:56.000 --> 06:58.000
You've just seen that in the sentence.

06:58.000 --> 07:00.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶.

07:00.000 --> 07:04.000
The object 那个花瓶 was at the end.

07:04.000 --> 07:07.000
Now in 那两个都给我看看.

07:07.000 --> 07:12.000
The object 那两个 is at the front of the sentence in the topic position.

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
This is due to the use of the adverb 都.

07:14.000 --> 07:18.000
As you know, the adverb 都 always goes before the verb.

07:18.000 --> 07:22.000
What you also need to know is that whatever 都 refers to must go before the 都.

07:22.000 --> 07:25.000
Whether it's subject or object.

07:25.000 --> 07:28.000
Repeat, give me both of them to look at.

07:28.000 --> 07:31.000
那两个都给我看看.

07:34.000 --> 07:36.000
那两个都给我看看.

07:46.000 --> 07:49.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

07:49.000 --> 07:55.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
Try asking the question yourself.

08:01.000 --> 08:04.000
This time you'll get a confirmation and a reply.

08:08.000 --> 08:10.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
How?

08:12.000 --> 08:13.000
Again.

08:13.000 --> 08:16.000
Listen to the whole conversation now.

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000
As it takes place in the friendship department store in Peking.

08:19.000 --> 08:22.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶.

08:22.000 --> 08:26.000
哪个?这个蓝的还是这个红的?

08:26.000 --> 08:28.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

08:28.000 --> 08:29.000
好.

08:29.000 --> 08:31.000
Now you try it.

08:31.000 --> 08:33.000
First ask to see that vase.

08:33.000 --> 08:36.000
Then tell the clerk you want to see both vases.

08:36.000 --> 08:37.000
Now you try it.

08:37.000 --> 08:38.000
Now you try it.

08:38.000 --> 08:40.000
First ask to see that vase.

08:40.000 --> 08:43.000
Then tell the clerk you want to see both vases.

08:47.000 --> 08:50.000
请你给我看看那个花瓶.

08:50.000 --> 08:54.000
哪个?这个蓝的还是这个红的?

08:58.000 --> 09:01.000
那两个都给我看看,好吗?

09:01.000 --> 09:02.000
好.

09:05.000 --> 09:06.000
Try it again.

09:06.000 --> 09:07.000
Try it again.

09:08.000 --> 09:09.000
Try it again.

09:09.000 --> 09:10.000
Try it again.

09:10.000 --> 09:11.000
Try it again.

09:11.000 --> 09:12.000
Try it again.

09:12.000 --> 09:13.000
Try it again.

09:13.000 --> 09:14.000
Try it again.

09:14.000 --> 09:25.000
Try it again.

09:26.000 --> 09:28.000
The conversation with the store clerk continues.

09:28.000 --> 09:29.000
Listen.

09:30.000 --> 09:31.000
这个红的多少钱?

09:32.000 --> 09:34.000
这个红的十二块钱一个.

09:34.000 --> 09:39.000
这个蓝的25块钱一个

09:49.000 --> 09:51.000
这个红的多少钱

09:51.000 --> 09:54.000
这个红的12块钱一个

09:55.000 --> 09:57.000
蓝的呢

09:57.000 --> 10:07.000
这个蓝的25块钱一个

10:07.000 --> 10:32.000
这个蓝的25块钱一个

10:32.000 --> 10:42.000
这个蓝的25块钱一个

10:43.000 --> 10:45.000
蓝的太贵了

10:45.000 --> 10:47.000
我买红的吧

10:47.000 --> 10:49.000
红的便宜

10:49.000 --> 11:06.000
蓝的太贵了

11:06.000 --> 11:10.000
repeat the blue kind is too expensive

11:10.000 --> 11:14.000
蓝的太贵了

11:14.000 --> 11:18.000
蓝的太贵了

11:18.000 --> 11:21.000
the marker L is used here to indicate a new situation

11:21.000 --> 11:23.000
that something has changed

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
that something is of course the price

11:25.000 --> 11:27.000
it's crossed over into the expensive category

11:27.000 --> 11:30.000
we might translate 太贵了 as

11:30.000 --> 11:32.000
that's expensive now

11:32.000 --> 11:35.000
how do you say this blue kind is too expensive

11:35.000 --> 11:39.000
这个蓝的太贵了

11:39.000 --> 11:43.000
the remark continues like this

11:43.000 --> 11:47.000
我买红的吧红的便宜

11:47.000 --> 11:51.000
嗯红的便宜

11:51.000 --> 11:55.000
repeat I'll buy the red kind I guess

11:55.000 --> 11:59.000
我买红的吧

11:59.000 --> 12:03.000
我买红的吧

12:03.000 --> 12:07.000
as you'll remember it's the marker BAH

12:07.000 --> 12:11.000
which adds the feeling of I guess or I suppose to the sentence

12:11.000 --> 12:15.000
how do you say this blue kind is too expensive

12:15.000 --> 12:19.000
这个蓝的太贵了

12:19.000 --> 12:23.000
how do you say I'll buy the red kind I guess

12:23.000 --> 12:27.000
我买红的吧

12:27.000 --> 12:31.000
repeat the adjectival verb to be cheap or inexpensive

12:31.000 --> 12:35.000
notice that the vowel sound has a nasal quality

12:35.000 --> 12:39.000
便宜便宜

12:39.000 --> 12:43.000
repeat the red kind is cheaper

12:43.000 --> 12:47.000
红的便宜红的便宜

12:47.000 --> 12:51.000
红的便宜

12:51.000 --> 12:55.000
you'll notice that something is happening here

12:55.000 --> 12:58.000
in the English we're saying cheaper

12:58.000 --> 13:00.000
but the Chinese is still便宜

13:00.000 --> 13:04.000
this is because the adjectival verbs imply comparison when used alone

13:04.000 --> 13:08.000
that is when used without a modifier like very

13:08.000 --> 13:12.000
how do you say the red kind is cheaper

13:12.000 --> 13:16.000
红的便宜

13:16.000 --> 13:20.000
try saying the whole remark now the blue kind is too expensive

13:20.000 --> 13:24.000
I'll buy the red kind I guess the red kind is cheaper

13:24.000 --> 13:28.000
红的太贵了

13:28.000 --> 13:32.000
蓝的太贵了我买红的吧

13:32.000 --> 13:36.000
红的便宜

13:36.000 --> 13:40.000
again

13:40.000 --> 13:44.000
蓝的太贵了我买红的吧

13:44.000 --> 13:48.000
红的便宜

13:48.000 --> 13:52.000
let's step out of the department store for a moment

13:52.000 --> 13:56.000
listen to this next exchange two professors are talking while looking at a class list

13:56.000 --> 14:00.000
这两个学生哪个好

14:00.000 --> 14:04.000
司马信好

14:04.000 --> 14:08.000
repeat these two students

14:08.000 --> 14:12.000
这两个学生

14:12.000 --> 14:16.000
repeat which is better

14:16.000 --> 14:20.000
哪个好

14:20.000 --> 14:24.000
repeat which of these two students is better

14:24.000 --> 14:28.000
这两个学生哪个好

14:28.000 --> 14:32.000
这两个学生哪个好

14:32.000 --> 14:36.000
this is another example of the use of topic

14:36.000 --> 14:40.000
topic as you remember sets the scene for the rest of the sentence

14:40.000 --> 14:44.000
of these two is the topic for the question which is better

14:44.000 --> 14:48.000
how do you say which of these two students is better

14:48.000 --> 14:52.000
这两个学生哪个好

14:52.000 --> 14:56.000
这两个学生哪个好

14:56.000 --> 15:00.000
try asking the question again you'll get a reply

15:00.000 --> 15:04.000
这两个学生哪个好

15:04.000 --> 15:08.000
司马信好

15:08.000 --> 15:12.000
again

15:12.000 --> 15:16.000
这两个学生哪个好

15:16.000 --> 15:20.000
司马信好

15:20.000 --> 15:24.000
as you remember the conversation was going something like this

15:24.000 --> 15:28.000
这个蓝的二十五块钱一个

15:28.000 --> 15:32.000
蓝的太贵了我买红的吧红的便宜

15:32.000 --> 15:36.000
红的便宜

15:36.000 --> 15:40.000
你有大一点的吗有

15:40.000 --> 15:44.000
we said that adjectival verbs such as 达

15:44.000 --> 15:48.000
imply comparison by themselves

15:48.000 --> 15:52.000
to the verb 达 makes it even clearer that things are being compared

15:52.000 --> 15:56.000
repeat a little larger

15:56.000 --> 16:00.000
大一点

16:00.000 --> 16:04.000
you learn that 达的 meant the large one the marker 达 being added

16:04.000 --> 16:08.000
when the noun that follows such as 花拼 is not said

16:08.000 --> 16:12.000
here the marker 达 follows the phrase 大一点

16:12.000 --> 16:16.000
a little larger repeat the little bit larger one

16:16.000 --> 16:20.000

16:32.000 --> 16:36.000
你有大一点的吗

16:36.000 --> 16:40.000
try asking the question yourself you'll get a reply

16:40.000 --> 16:44.000
你有大一点的吗有

16:44.000 --> 16:48.000

16:52.000 --> 16:56.000
the conversation continues

16:56.000 --> 17:00.000

17:00.000 --> 17:04.000
repeat the word for how or in what way

17:04.000 --> 17:08.000

17:08.000 --> 17:12.000
怎么样

17:12.000 --> 17:16.000
is a much used expression with several meanings it can be translated in general as 好

17:16.000 --> 17:20.000

17:28.000 --> 17:32.000

17:32.000 --> 17:36.000
the verb 看 has a new meaning here it means to consider

17:36.000 --> 17:40.000
say the question ahead of the speaker now what do you think of this one

17:40.000 --> 17:44.000

您看这个怎么样

18:08.000 --> 18:12.000
真好看

18:12.000 --> 18:16.000
repeat the adjectival verb to be pretty literally good looking

18:16.000 --> 18:20.000
好看好看

18:20.000 --> 18:24.000

18:28.000 --> 18:32.000

18:32.000 --> 18:36.000
这个大的真好看

18:36.000 --> 18:40.000

18:40.000 --> 18:44.000
try saying it ahead of the speaker

now let's say you've looked over the

19:16.000 --> 19:20.000

好我买大的吧

19:24.000 --> 19:28.000
repeat okay

19:28.000 --> 19:32.000
I'll buy the large one I guess

19:32.000 --> 19:36.000
好我买大的吧

19:36.000 --> 19:40.000
好我买大的吧

19:40.000 --> 19:44.000
as you remember

19:44.000 --> 19:48.000
the use of the mark of bah makes the statement less sure

19:48.000 --> 19:52.000
without the bah the sentence might sound more like

19:52.000 --> 19:56.000
with the bah the sentence is less of a declaration and more of a suggestion

19:56.000 --> 20:00.000
how do you say okay I'll buy the large one I guess

20:00.000 --> 20:04.000
好我买大的吧

20:04.000 --> 20:08.000

20:08.000 --> 20:12.000

20:16.000 --> 20:20.000
要要

20:20.000 --> 20:24.000
repeat how many do you want

20:24.000 --> 20:28.000
您要几个

20:28.000 --> 20:32.000
您要几个

20:32.000 --> 20:36.000
try asking the question yourself now you'll get a reply

20:36.000 --> 20:40.000
您要几个

20:40.000 --> 20:44.000
请给我两个吧

20:44.000 --> 20:48.000

请给我两个吧

21:04.000 --> 21:08.000

21:08.000 --> 21:12.000
this sentence is more literally please give me two with the marker bah added

21:12.000 --> 21:16.000
this marker bah makes the command into a suggestion

21:16.000 --> 21:20.000
as you remember the marker bah in

21:20.000 --> 21:24.000
我买大的吧 or

21:24.000 --> 21:28.000
it has a softening effect on the statements here the bah softens the command

21:28.000 --> 21:32.000
how do you say would you give me two please

21:32.000 --> 21:36.000
请给我两个吧

21:36.000 --> 21:40.000

21:40.000 --> 21:44.000

21:44.000 --> 21:48.000
请给我两个吧

21:48.000 --> 21:52.000

21:52.000 --> 21:56.000
请给我两个吧
