141000	143000	Listen to this first exchange.
143000	147000	Miss Novak is on her way out of the Peking Hotel.
147000	160000	你出去啊。我想出去买几本书。Repeat the verb to go out.出去。出去。
160000	170000	This verb is a compound of the verb 出 to exit or go out and 去 to go.Repeat, I thought I'd go out to buy a few books.
170000	181000	我想出去买几本书。我想出去买几本书。
181000	187000	Notice that the bound word 几 how many means a few when it's used without a tone.
187000	194000	Fry saying it ahead of the speaker. I thought I'd go out to buy a few books.
194000	208000	我想出去买几本书。Fry responding to the comment yourself now.你出去啊。
208000	216000	我想出去买几本书。Again.你出去啊。
216000	225000	我想出去买几本书。Repeat the first comment now.
225000	237000	Oh, you're going out. Notice the intonation.你出去啊。你出去啊。
237000	245000	This comment is really a form of greeting. Instead of saying hello when you just happen to run across someone you know, you state the obvious to acknowledge his presence such as,
245000	257000	Oh, you're here or oh, you've come. How do you say, oh, you're going out?你出去啊。
257000	264000	Next, Ms. Novak asks someone for directions.老家哪有卖书的。

302000	312000	Excuse me.Where is there a store that sells books?老家哪有卖书的。
312000	317000	老家哪有卖书的。
317000	327000	Try asking the question yourself. You'll get a reply.老家哪有卖书的。
327000	334000	王府警大街有一个新华书店,很大。Again.
334000	339000	老家哪有卖书的。
339000	352000	王府警大街有一个新华书店,很大。A quick review.What's the verb to go out?出去。
352000	366000	How do you say a place that sells books?卖书的。How do they say excuse me in peaking?老家。
366000	381000	The conversation continues.Listen.新华书店离得远吗?不远,很近。Repeat the actual word for bookstore.书店。
381000	408000	书店。Repeat new China bookstore.新华书店。新华书店。Repeat the prepositional verb from离,离。
408000	413000	Although both zhong and li are translated as from, they are quite different.
413000	420000	The prepositional verb li is actually one point apart from another.It's mainly used when discussing distances.
420000	427000	Other times you use zhong for from.Now repeat the adjectival verb to be far.
427000	441000	远。远。As with other prepositional verb phrases, the phrase with li from goes before the full verb.
441000	455000	In this case, the adjectival verb 远 to be far.Repeat is it far from here?离这远吗?离这远吗?
455000	468000	Repeat is the new China bookstore far from here?新华书店离这远吗?新华书店离这远吗?
468000	484000	Try asking the question yourself now, you'll get a reply.新华书店离这远吗?不远,很近。
484000	504000	Again.新华书店离这远吗?不远,很近。Repeat the adjectival verb to be near.近。近。
504000	515000	Repeat it's not far very close.不远,很近。不远,很近。
515000	533000	Try answering the question yourself now, it's not far very close.新华书店离这远吗?不远,很近。Again.
533000	541000	新华书店离这远吗?不远,很近。
541000	552000	Listen to Miss Novak's next question.怎么去?走得去可以吗?走得去可以。
552000	562000	You already know that the verb 走 can mean to go by way or it can mean to walk. The word 走着 is the form of the verb which means walking.
562000	569000	Repeat walking 走着 走着
569000	584000	Repeat is it possible to get there by walking?走得去可以吗?走得去可以吗?
584000	591000	You may wonder why this sentence means it's possible to get there by walking and not just is it possible to walk.
591000	598000	The idea of there is contained in the verb 去.As you remember both 走 and 去 can mean to go.
598000	616000	We said that the difference is that 去 is used when the destination is in mind.Repeat again, is it possible to get there by walking?走得去可以吗?走得去可以吗?
616000	626000	Now repeat the question, how do I go there?怎么去?怎么去?
626000	636000	Again the question 怎么去 and怎么走 may seem very close in meaning. Use 怎么走 when you want to know by what route to go.

658000	675000	Try it yourself now, you'll get a reply.How do I go there? Is it possible to get there by walking?怎么去?走得去可以吗?走得去可以吗?
