00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000

不姓马.姓王.

112
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Notice that Mr. King does not put a subject in his answers.

113
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
It's obvious from the context that the subject is I.

114
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Now you try it.

115
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Now let's turn to another topic.

123
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
How to ask for someone's surname in a polite way?

124
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
You've already learned how to ask someone's surname one way.

125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Listen.

126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
你姓什么?

127
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
我姓王.translate it.

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
你姓什么?

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
What's your surname?

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
我姓王.

131
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
My surname's Wang.

132
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Now listen to a more polite way to ask someone's surname.

133
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
名归姓.

134
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
我姓王.

135
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Again.

136
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
名归姓.

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
我姓王.

138
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
You'll notice that the answer to the polite question is the same as the answer to the plain question.

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
你姓什么?

140
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Essentially there is no difference in meaning, only a difference in formality.

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Take the part of Daniel King and answer the polite question about your surname.

142
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
名归姓.

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
我姓王.

144
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
In the question 名归姓.

145
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Politeness is expressed in two ways.

146
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Instead of saying 你, a more polite form of the word you is used.

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Listen to the speaker.

148
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
您.您.您.

149
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Notice that 您 is in the rising tone.

150
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
While the plain form of the word you,你, is in the low tone.

151
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Repeat the polite form of you after the speaker.

152
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
您.您.您.

153
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
The second way politeness is expressed in the question 名归姓.

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,000
is by using the respectful word for surname 归姓.

155
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Literally precious surname.

156
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Listen.

157
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
归姓.

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
归姓.

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
归姓.

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Both syllables of 归姓 have the falling tone.

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Try repeating it after the speaker.

162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
归姓.

163
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
归姓.

164
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
归姓.

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Now repeat after the speaker.

166
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Your surname 您归姓.

167
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
您归姓.

168
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Again 您归姓.

169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
您归姓.

170
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
What's the polite form of you?

171
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
您.

172
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
What's the plain form for you?

173
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
你.

174
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
What's the polite word for surname 归姓?

175
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
归姓.

176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Now let's switch from the polite to the more personal and learn how to ask for someone's given name.

177
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Listen to this exchange.

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
你叫什么?

179
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
我叫大年.

180
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Again.

181
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
你叫什么?

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
我叫大年.

183
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Again.

184
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000
The verb in the question and answer is 叫 to be given named.

185
