Try repeating. Is your surname Hu?

01:50.000 --> 01:52.000

04:51.000 --> 04:54.000
The only other person present is Mrs. Ma.

04:54.000 --> 04:57.000
Take the part of Mr. King and answer ahead of him.

06:18.000 --> 06:21.000
Notice that Mr. King does not put a subject in his answers.

06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
It's obvious from the context that the subject is I.

06:24.000 --> 06:26.000
Now you try it.

06:26.000 --> 06:29.000
Answer Ms. Hu's question saying that your surname isn't Ma.

06:29.000 --> 06:30.000

06:45.000 --> 06:47.000
不姓马.姓王.

06:50.000 --> 06:52.000
Now let's turn to another topic.

06:52.000 --> 06:55.000
How to ask for someone's surname in a polite way?

06:56.000 --> 06:59.000
You've already learned how to ask someone's surname one way.

06:59.000 --> 07:00.000
Listen.

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
你姓什么?

07:02.000 --> 07:05.000
我姓王.translate it.

07:05.000 --> 07:07.000
你姓什么?

07:08.000 --> 07:10.000
What's your surname?

07:10.000 --> 07:12.000
我姓王.

07:13.000 --> 07:15.000
My surname's Wang.

07:15.000 --> 07:19.000
Now listen to a more polite way to ask someone's surname.

07:19.000 --> 07:21.000
名归姓.

07:21.000 --> 07:23.000
我姓王.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
Again.

07:25.000 --> 07:27.000
名归姓.

07:27.000 --> 07:29.000
我姓王.

07:29.000 --> 07:33.000
You'll notice that the answer to the polite question is the same as the answer to the plain question.

07:33.000 --> 07:35.000
你姓什么?

07:35.000 --> 07:39.000
Essentially there is no difference in meaning, only a difference in formality.

07:39.000 --> 07:44.000
Take the part of Daniel King and answer the polite question about your surname.

07:44.000 --> 07:47.000
名归姓.

07:47.000 --> 07:51.000
我姓王.

07:51.000 --> 07:53.000
In the question 名归姓.

07:53.000 --> 07:55.000
Politeness is expressed in two ways.

07:55.000 --> 07:59.000
Instead of saying 你, a more polite form of the word you is used.

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
Listen to the speaker.

08:01.000 --> 08:06.000
您.您.您.

08:06.000 --> 08:10.000
Notice that 您 is in the rising tone.

08:10.000 --> 08:14.000
While the plain form of the word you,你, is in the low tone.

08:14.000 --> 08:17.000
Repeat the polite form of you after the speaker.

08:17.000 --> 08:23.000
您.您.您.

08:23.000 --> 08:27.000
The second way politeness is expressed in the question 名归姓.

08:27.000 --> 08:31.000
is by using the respectful word for surname 归姓.

08:31.000 --> 08:33.000
Literally precious surname.

08:33.000 --> 08:34.000
Listen.

08:34.000 --> 08:36.000
归姓.

08:36.000 --> 08:38.000
归姓.

08:38.000 --> 08:40.000
归姓.

08:40.000 --> 08:43.000
Both syllables of 归姓 have the falling tone.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
Try repeating it after the speaker.

08:45.000 --> 08:48.000
归姓.

08:48.000 --> 08:50.000
归姓.

08:50.000 --> 08:53.000
归姓.

08:53.000 --> 08:55.000
Now repeat after the speaker.

08:55.000 --> 08:59.000
Your surname 您归姓.

08:59.000 --> 09:02.000
您归姓.

09:02.000 --> 09:07.000
Again 您归姓.

09:07.000 --> 09:10.000
您归姓.

09:10.000 --> 09:12.000
What's the polite form of you?

09:12.000 --> 09:15.000
您.

09:15.000 --> 09:17.000
What's the plain form for you?

09:17.000 --> 09:20.000
你.

09:20.000 --> 09:23.000
What's the polite word for surname 归姓?

09:23.000 --> 09:25.000
归姓.

09:25.000 --> 09:30.000
Now let's switch from the polite to the more personal and learn how to ask for someone's given name.

09:30.000 --> 09:32.000
Listen to this exchange.

09:32.000 --> 09:34.000
你叫什么?

09:34.000 --> 09:36.000
我叫大年.

09:36.000 --> 09:38.000
Again.

09:38.000 --> 09:39.000
你叫什么?

09:39.000 --> 09:41.000
我叫大年.

09:41.000 --> 09:43.000
Again.

09:43.000 --> 09:47.000
The verb in the question and answer is 叫 to be given named.

09:47.000 --> 09:49.000
It has the falling tone.

09:49.000 --> 09:51.000
Listen to be given named.

09:51.000 --> 09:53.000
叫.

09:53.000 --> 09:55.000
叫.

09:55.000 --> 09:57.000
叫.

09:57.000 --> 10:00.000
Repeat to be given named after the speaker.

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
叫.

10:02.000 --> 10:04.000
叫.

10:04.000 --> 10:06.000
叫.

10:06.000 --> 10:08.000
Repeat the question.

10:08.000 --> 10:11.000
What's your given name after the speaker?

10:11.000 --> 10:14.000
你叫什么?

10:14.000 --> 10:16.000
你叫什么?

10:16.000 --> 10:18.000
Again.

10:18.000 --> 10:22.000
你叫什么?

10:22.000 --> 10:24.000
你叫什么?

10:24.000 --> 10:29.000
How would you ask what's his given name?

10:29.000 --> 10:32.000
他叫什么?

10:32.000 --> 10:37.000
Now you take the part of Daniel King again and answer the following question.

10:37.000 --> 10:40.000
你叫什么?

10:40.000 --> 10:42.000
我叫大年.

10:42.000 --> 10:44.000
Again.

10:44.000 --> 10:47.000
你叫什么?

10:47.000 --> 10:49.000
我叫大年.

10:49.000 --> 10:56.000
Now someone is asking you about a person on the other side of the room whom you know is Ma Mingli.

10:56.000 --> 10:58.000
Try answering his questions.

10:58.000 --> 11:02.000
他请什么?

11:02.000 --> 11:04.000
他请马.

11:04.000 --> 11:06.000
他叫什么?

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
他叫明李.

11:08.000 --> 11:10.000
Try it again.

11:10.000 --> 11:13.000
他请什么?

11:13.000 --> 11:16.000
他请马.

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
他叫什么?

11:18.000 --> 11:22.000
他叫明李.

11:22.000 --> 11:28.000
To review the various questions asking names, I'll give you the English and you give the corresponding Chinese.

11:28.000 --> 11:30.000
Let's start.

11:30.000 --> 11:33.000

11:33.000 --> 11:36.000

11:42.000 --> 11:46.000
What's your surname?

11:46.000 --> 11:49.000

11:49.000 --> 11:53.000
My given name is Daniel.

11:53.000 --> 11:56.000

12:00.000 --> 12:03.000
他姓什么?

12:03.000 --> 12:06.000
Your surname?

12:06.000 --> 12:09.000

12:09.000 --> 12:15.000
Let's turn now to other polite expressions, readings and the like. Listen to this live exchange.

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
你好啊.

12:17.000 --> 12:20.000
我好.Again.

12:20.000 --> 12:23.000
你好啊.我好.

12:23.000 --> 12:26.000
Here it is with the English.

12:26.000 --> 12:28.000
How are you?

12:28.000 --> 12:32.000
你好啊.你好啊.

12:32.000 --> 12:34.000
I'm fine.

12:34.000 --> 12:38.000

12:38.000 --> 12:41.000
Try repeating the word for to be fine.

12:41.000 --> 12:48.000
好.好.好.

12:48.000 --> 12:56.000
Remember that 我,I, normally in the low tone becomes 我,in the rising tone before the low tone of 好.

12:56.000 --> 13:04.000
The two low tones in a row is always avoided in this way. Try repeating, I'm fine. 我好.

13:04.000 --> 13:21.000
Now try replying to Miss Hu and repeat the answer. 你好啊.我好.Again.你好啊.我好.
