12000	15000	Before you learn how to say these things, let's review them.
15000	18000	Give an English equivalent for each of the following sentences.
20000	21000	Number 1
22000	24000	请你给我看看那个花瓶.
26000	28000	Please give me that vase to look at.
28000	33000	哪个?这个蓝的还是这个红的?
36000	39000	Which one? This blue one or this red one?
40000	43000	那两个都给我看看,好吗?

58000	60000	The blue kind is too expensive.
61000	63000	我买红的吧。
65000	67000	I'll buy the red kind, I guess.

71000	73000	The red kind is cheaper.
74000	76000	您有大一点的吗?
78000	80000	Do you have a little larger one?
80000	83000	有。您看这个怎么样?
85000	87000	Yes, what do you think of this one?
88000	90000	这个大的真好看。
93000	95000	This large one is really nice looking.
96000	97000	Number 4
98000	100000	这两个学生哪个好?
103000	105000	Which of these two students is better?

107000	108000	司马信 is better.
109000	110000	Number 5
111000	112000	你要几个?
114000	115000	How many do you want?
117000	118000	请你给我两个吧。
120000	121000	Would you give me two please?
123000	125000	If you had any problems with those sentences,
125000	127000	rewind the tape and work on them some more.
127000	128000	If you understand them all,
128000	130000	you can begin learning how to say them.
130000	132000	This tape is set in Peking.
132000	133000	Listen.
133000	135000	请你给我看看那个花瓶。
138000	139000	Repeat the verb to look at.
140000	141000	看。
142000	143000	看。
145000	146000	The same verb reduplicated means
146000	148000	to look around or to have a look.
148000	151000	Reduplicated verbs are toneless on the second syllable.
151000	153000	Repeat to have a look.
153000	154000	看看。
156000	157000	看看。
158000	159000	Repeat.
159000	162000	看看。
162000	163000	Repeat.
163000	164000	Please give it to me to look at.
165000	167000	请你给我看看。
170000	171000	请你给我看看。
173000	175000	Notice that in English we must say it.
175000	177000	Please give it to me to look at.
177000	180000	Chinese doesn't have to have a word like it in the sentence.
180000	181000	Repeat.
181000	183000	Please give it to me to look at again.
183000	188000	请你给我看看。
189000	190000	请你给我看看。
195000	196000	Repeat the verb for vase.
197000	198000	Literally flower bottle.
199000	200000	花瓶。
202000	203000	花瓶。
204000	205000	Repeat that vase.
206000	207000	那个花瓶。
207000	211000	那个花瓶。
214000	217000	When you do want to name what it is you want to look at,
217000	219000	you put it after the verb as you'd expect.
219000	220000	Repeat.
220000	222000	Please give me that vase to look at.
223000	225000	请你给我看看那个花瓶。
230000	232000	请你给我看看那个花瓶。
232000	236000	How do you say please give it to me to look at?
239000	241000	请你给我看看。
242000	244000	How do you say that vase?
246000	247000	那个花瓶。
249000	252000	How do you say please give me that vase to look at?
255000	257000	请你给我看看那个花瓶。
257000	259000	Literally flower bottle.
261000	263000	Listen to the shopkeeper's reply.
264000	267000	那个这个蓝的还是这个红的。
269000	271000	Repeat the verb to be blue.
272000	273000	蓝。
274000	275000	蓝。
277000	282000	In the last unit you learned that an adjectival verb plus the marker 德 could be used as a noun.
282000	288000	For instance 小 to be small plus 德 yields 小的 the small one or the small ones.
288000	291000	How do you say how much are the small ones?
294000	296000	小的多少钱?
297000	300000	Here we can do the same thing with the verbs for color.
300000	301000	Repeat the blue one.
302000	303000	蓝的。
305000	306000	蓝的。
307000	310000	Repeat which one this blue one?
310000	313000	哪个?这个蓝的吗?
316000	319000	哪个?这个蓝的吗?
325000	327000	Repeat the verb to be red.
327000	328000	红。
330000	331000	红。
333000	335000	Repeat the verb for or.
336000	337000	还是。
337000	339000	还是。
342000	344000	Repeat this blue one or this red one.
344000	346000	Notice the word order follows English.
348000	351000	这个蓝的还是这个红的。
354000	357000	这个蓝的还是这个红的。
362000	366000	In the last module you learned that an or question in Chinese can be formed without the or.
366000	369000	As in 是男孩子是女孩子。
369000	372000	If you repeat the verb and the nouns.
372000	376000	When only the nouns are said, the word 还是 must be said.
376000	379000	How do you say this blue one or this red one?
383000	385000	这个蓝的还是这个红的?
387000	390000	Perhaps you'd like to see both the blue one and the red one.
390000	391000	Listen.
391000	395000	那两个都给我看看,好吗?
397000	400000	You've seen the adverb 都 all used before.
400000	402000	Here it's translated as both.
402000	405000	Repeat, give me both of them to look at.
406000	408000	那两个都给我看看.
411000	414000	那两个都给我看看.
416000	418000	You've just seen that in the sentence.
418000	420000	请你给我看看那个花瓶.
420000	424000	The object 那个花瓶 was at the end.
424000	427000	Now in 那两个都给我看看.
427000	432000	The object 那两个 is at the front of the sentence in the topic position.
432000	434000	This is due to the use of the adverb 都.
434000	438000	As you know, the adverb 都 always goes before the verb.
438000	442000	What you also need to know is that whatever 都 refers to must go before the 都.
442000	445000	Whether it's subject or object.
445000	448000	Repeat, give me both of them to look at.
448000	451000	那两个都给我看看.
454000	456000	那两个都给我看看.
466000	469000	那两个都给我看看,好吗?

490000	491000	How?
492000	493000	Again.
493000	496000	Listen to the whole conversation now.
496000	499000	As it takes place in the friendship department store in Peking.
499000	502000	请你给我看看那个花瓶.

506000	508000	那两个都给我看看,好吗?
508000	509000	好.
509000	511000	Now you try it.
511000	513000	First ask to see that vase.
513000	516000	Then tell the clerk you want to see both vases.
516000	517000	Now you try it.

518000	520000	First ask to see that vase.

550000	551000	Try it again.
551000	552000	Try it again.
552000	553000	Try it again.
553000	554000	Try it again.
554000	565000	Try it again.
566000	568000	The conversation with the store clerk continues.
568000	569000	Listen.
570000	571000	这个红的多少钱?
572000	574000	这个红的十二块钱一个.
574000	579000	这个蓝的25块钱一个
589000	591000	这个红的多少钱
591000	594000	这个红的12块钱一个
595000	597000	蓝的呢
597000	607000	这个蓝的25块钱一个
607000	632000	这个蓝的25块钱一个
632000	642000	这个蓝的25块钱一个
643000	645000	蓝的太贵了
645000	647000	我买红的吧
647000	649000	红的便宜
649000	666000	蓝的太贵了
666000	670000	repeat the blue kind is too expensive
670000	674000	蓝的太贵了
674000	678000	蓝的太贵了
678000	681000	the marker L is used here to indicate a new situation
681000	683000	that something has changed
683000	685000	that something is of course the price
685000	687000	it's crossed over into the expensive category
687000	690000	we might translate 太贵了 as
690000	692000	that's expensive now
692000	695000	how do you say this blue kind is too expensive
695000	699000	这个蓝的太贵了
699000	703000	the remark continues like this
703000	707000	我买红的吧红的便宜
707000	711000	嗯红的便宜
711000	715000	repeat I'll buy the red kind I guess
715000	719000	我买红的吧
719000	723000	我买红的吧
723000	727000	as you'll remember it's the marker BAH
727000	731000	which adds the feeling of I guess or I suppose to the sentence
731000	735000	how do you say this blue kind is too expensive
735000	739000	这个蓝的太贵了
739000	743000	how do you say I'll buy the red kind I guess
743000	747000	我买红的吧
747000	751000	repeat the adjectival verb to be cheap or inexpensive
751000	755000	notice that the vowel sound has a nasal quality
755000	759000	便宜便宜
759000	763000	repeat the red kind is cheaper
763000	767000	红的便宜红的便宜
767000	771000	红的便宜
771000	775000	you'll notice that something is happening here
775000	778000	in the English we're saying cheaper
778000	780000	but the Chinese is still便宜
780000	784000	this is because the adjectival verbs imply comparison when used alone
784000	788000	that is when used without a modifier like very
788000	792000	how do you say the red kind is cheaper
792000	796000	红的便宜
796000	800000	try saying the whole remark now the blue kind is too expensive
800000	804000	I'll buy the red kind I guess the red kind is cheaper
804000	808000	红的太贵了
808000	812000	蓝的太贵了我买红的吧
812000	816000	红的便宜
816000	820000	again
820000	824000	蓝的太贵了我买红的吧
824000	828000	红的便宜
828000	832000	let's step out of the department store for a moment
832000	836000	listen to this next exchange two professors are talking while looking at a class list
836000	840000	这两个学生哪个好
840000	844000	司马信好
844000	848000	repeat these two students
848000	852000	这两个学生
852000	856000	repeat which is better
856000	860000	哪个好
860000	864000	repeat which of these two students is better
864000	868000	这两个学生哪个好
868000	872000	这两个学生哪个好
872000	876000	this is another example of the use of topic
876000	880000	topic as you remember sets the scene for the rest of the sentence
880000	884000	of these two is the topic for the question which is better
884000	888000	how do you say which of these two students is better
888000	892000	这两个学生哪个好
892000	896000	这两个学生哪个好

932000	936000	红的便宜
936000	940000	你有大一点的吗有
940000	944000	we said that adjectival verbs such as 达
944000	948000	imply comparison by themselves
948000	952000	to the verb 达 makes it even clearer that things are being compared
952000	956000	repeat a little larger
956000	960000	大一点
960000	964000	you learn that 达的 meant the large one the marker 达 being added
964000	968000	when the noun that follows such as 花拼 is not said
968000	972000	here the marker 达 follows the phrase 大一点
972000	976000	a little larger repeat the little bit larger one
976000	980000	大一点的
980000	984000	大一点的

1024000	1028000	怎么样

1040000	1044000	repeat what do you think of this one
1044000	1048000	您看这个怎么样
1048000	1052000	您看这个怎么样

1176000	1180000	好我买大的吧
1180000	1184000	as you remember
1184000	1188000	the use of the mark of bah makes the statement less sure
1188000	1192000	without the bah the sentence might sound more like
1192000	1196000	with the bah the sentence is less of a declaration and more of a suggestion
1196000	1200000	how do you say okay I'll buy the large one I guess
1200000	1204000	好我买大的吧
