00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000

我住在北京饭店。

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The verb to stay at 住在 is a compound

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
The verb to live 住 and the verb to be at 在,which you already know.

00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Repeat the verb to stay at.

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Notice that the second syllable is in the neutral tone.

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
住在 住在 住在

00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Notice that both syllables have the falling tone.

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
饭店 饭店

46
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000

54
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
How do you say I'm staying at the peaking hotel?

我住在北京饭店。

56
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000

Say that you're staying at the peaking hotel.

58
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
请问,你住在哪儿?

59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
我住在北京饭店。

60
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Again,

请问,你住在哪儿?

62
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
我住在北京饭店。

63
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000

是,我住在北京饭店。

66
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
The verb 是 is the short answer here indicating agreement.

67
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Although many verbs may be used to give short answers,

68
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
the verb 住在 is not one of them.

69
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Repeat, yes, I'm staying at the peaking hotel.

70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
是,我住在北京饭店。

71
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
是,我住在北京饭店。

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Try answering the next question.

73
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Say yes, I'm staying at the peaking hotel.

74
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
你住在北京饭店吗?

00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
是,我住在北京饭店。

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Again,

77
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
请问,你住在北京饭店吗?

78
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
是,我住在北京饭店。

79
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Here's another question about where you're staying at peaking.

80
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Listen,

81
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
你住在民族饭店吗?

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
不,我不住在民族饭店。

83
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Repeat nationalities hotel.

84
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Notice that in the word nationalities,

85
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
both syllables have the rising tone.

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
民族饭店,

87
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
民族饭店,

88
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
民族饭店。

89
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
In the phrase 不住在,

90
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
notice that the tone of the negative adverb 不

91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
changes from falling tone to rising tone

92
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
before another falling tone.

93
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Repeat, not to stay at.

94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000
不住在,不住在,不住在。

95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The short answer used here

96
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
is simply the negative adverb 不.

97
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Repeat,

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
no, I'm not staying at the nationalities hotel.

99
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
不,我不住在民族饭店。

100
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
不,我不住在民族饭店。

101
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Try answering the question.

102
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Tell him,

103
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
no, I'm not staying at the nationalities hotel.

104
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
你住在民族饭店吗?

105
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
不,我不住在民族饭店。

106
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Again.

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
你住在民族饭店吗?

108
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
不,我不住在民族饭店。

109
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Let's review a bit.

00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
饭店.

112
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
How do you say,

00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000

114
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000

民族饭店.

What's the verb to stay at?

119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
住在.

120
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
You might be asked about

121
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
where you're staying in yet another way.

122
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Listen to this exchange.

123
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000

Repeat the word for which.

128
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Concentrate on the low tone.

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000

130
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000

哪个,which,

152
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
can also be used to ask about people.

153
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Listen,

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Miss Novak,

155
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
a Foreign Service Officer in Peking,

156
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
is talking with Kamran Zheng,

157
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
as they look at a photograph.

158
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
哪个人是美同志?

159
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Kamran Zheng,

00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000

哪个 has a falling tone.

167
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
This difference in tones

168
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
is only thing which distinguishes

169
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000

Again,哪个人是美同志?

188
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
那个人是美同志?

189
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
What's the word for which?

190
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
哪个.

191
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
What's the word for that?

192
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
哪个.

193
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
How do you say

194
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000
which person?

195
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
哪个人?

196
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
How do you say

197
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
that person?

198
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
哪个人.

199
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Now that you know

200
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
the word for that,

201
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
那个,you want

202
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
the word for this.

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Listen.

204
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
你住在这个饭店吗?

205
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
不,我不住在

206
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
这个饭店.

207
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Like the word

208
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000

00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
那个,the word

210
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
for this,

211
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
这个 has a falling tone.

212
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Repeat this.

213
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
这个.

214
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
这个.

215
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
这个.

216
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Repeat this hotel.

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
这个饭店.

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
这个饭店.

219
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
这个饭店.

220
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Repeat.

221
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
No, I'm not staying

222
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000

223
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
不,我不住在这个饭店.

224
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
不,我不住在这个饭店.

225
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
What's the word

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
for this?

227
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
这个.

228
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Try answering the question.

229
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Say that you're not

230
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
staying at this hotel.

231
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
你住在这个饭店吗?

232
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
不,我不住在这个饭店.

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Again.

234
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
你住在这个饭店吗?

235
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
不,我不住在

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
这个饭店.

237
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
What's the word

238
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
for this?

239
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
这个.

240
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
What's the word

241
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
for that?

242
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
那个.

243
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
What's the word

244
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
for which?

245
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
哪个.

246
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
However, there is

247
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
a more polite way

248
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
to say that person

249
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
or which person.

250
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Listen.

251
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
哪位是张同志?

252
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000
那位是张同志.

253
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Miss Novak

254
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
and Kamran Zheng

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
are looking

256
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
at the photograph again.

257
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Repeat the polite

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
way to refer

259
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
to another person,

260
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
that one.

261
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
哪位.

262
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
哪位.

263
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Notice that no word

264
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
for person

265
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
is used

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
in the polite form

267
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
哪位.

268
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Unlike the phrase

269
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
哪个人.

270
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Repeat

271
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
that one

272
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
is Kamran Zhang.

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
哪位是张同志?

274
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
哪位是张同志?

275
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
哪位是张同志?

276
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Try answering

277
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
the question now.

278
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Say that

279
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
that one

280
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
is Kamran Zhang.

281
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
哪位是张同志?

282
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
哪位是张同志?

283
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Now repeat

284
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
the polite

285
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
way to ask

286
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
which person?

287
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
哪位.

288
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
哪位.

289
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
哪位.

290
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Repeat

291
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
which person

292
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
is Kamran Zhang?

293
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
哪位是张同志?

294
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
哪位是张同志?

295
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Ask the question yourself now.

296
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
You'll get a confirmation

297
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
and a reply.

298
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000

299
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
哪位是张同志?

300
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Let's review the words

301
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
for this, that and which.

302
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Translate the following

303
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
random sentences

304
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
from English into Chinese.

305
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Which hotel is he staying at?

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
他住在哪个饭店?

307
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
He's staying at that hotel.

308
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
他住在哪个饭店?

309
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
He's staying at this hotel.

310
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
我住在这个饭店.

311
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Which one is Kamran Mei?

312
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
哪位是梅同志?

313
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Which hotel are you staying at?

314
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
你住在哪个饭店?

315
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Which one is Kamran Mei?

316
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
哪位是梅同志?

317
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Is he staying at this hotel?

318
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
他住在这个饭店吗?

319
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
He's not staying at this hotel.

320
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
他不住在这个饭店.

321
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I'm not staying at that hotel.

322
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
我不住在那个饭店.

323
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Which one is Kamran Mei?

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
哪位是梅同志?

325
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Now let's turn to the topic

326
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
of greetings and polite expressions.

327
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Let's imagine that Miss Novak

328
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
has just been introduced to Kamran Jiang,

329
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
a Chinese diplomatic official.

330
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Listen.

331
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
将同志您早.

332
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
早?

333
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
若娃克女士您好.

334
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
The word 早 literally means to be early,

335
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
but it's used as a greeting for good morning.

336
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Repeat good morning.

337
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
早.

338
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
早.

339
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
早.

340
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
If you're in a formal situation

341
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
and you want to be particularly polite,

342
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
you may add 您 to the greeting 早.

343
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Repeat the formal good morning,

344
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
literally you're early.

345
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
您早.

346
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
您早.

347
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
您早.

348
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Repeat good morning, Kamran Jiang.

349
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
将同志您早.

350
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
将同志您早.

351
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Unless you're with close friends,

352
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
the greeting 早

353
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
is usually used with the name

354
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
of the person you're addressing.

355
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
How do you say good morning, Kamran Jiang?

356
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
将同志您早.

357
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Again.

358
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000
将同志您早.

359
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Now you start the conversation.

360
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Say good morning to Kamran Jiang.

361
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
You'll get a confirmation and a reply.

362
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
将同志您早.

363
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
早.

364
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
若瓦克女士您好.

365
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Again.

366
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
将同志您早.

367
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
早.

368
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
若瓦克女士您好.

369
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Now listen to Miss Novak's reply.

370
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
早.

371
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
若瓦克女士您好.

372
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
我很好.

373
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Repeat the word for very.

374
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
狠.

375
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
狠.

376
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
狠.

377
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Although we translate 狠 as very,

378
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
actually it's not quite as strong as very.

379
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I'm quite well might be closer.

380
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Repeat I'm very well.

381
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
我很好.

382
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
我很好.

383
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
我很好.

384
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
This sentence is a good example of the rule that

385
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
the low tone changes to rising tone before another low tone.

386
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Remember in the sentence I'm fine.

387
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
我 and好 became我好.

388
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Now we find three syllables which originally have the low tone.

389
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
The first two syllables change to the rising tone before the third low tone syllable.

390
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Repeat I'm very well again.

391
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
我很好.

392
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
我很好.

393
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
我很好.

394
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
How is abouting to come at Jiang's greeting?

395
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000

396
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000

397
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000

398
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Again.

399
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000

400
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000

402
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Now let's try the whole exchange.

403
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
First you greet come at Jiang,

404
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
then you reply to his greeting.

405
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
江同志您早.

406
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000

我很好.

409
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Try it again.

410
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
江同志您早.

411
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
早.

412
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000

The conversation might continue like this.

415
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Listen.

416
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
请问您是美国哪的人?

417
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
我是加州旧金山人.

418
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Most of this exchange is already familiar to you.

419
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
The thing which is new is the name for San Francisco.

420
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Repeat San Francisco.

421
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
旧金山.

422
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000

423
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
旧金山.

424
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000

我是加州旧金山人.

430
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
我是加州旧金山人.

431
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
You'll notice that unlike in English,

432
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
you mentioned the larger area first,

433
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
then the smaller area.

434
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Repeat,

00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
