0	9000	Standard Chinese, A Modular Approach, Biographic Information Module Unit 1, Comprehension Tape 1.
9000	19000	This unit is set in the PRC. On this tape, you'll learn to understand questions and answers about where you're staying, and a few polite phrases used in greetings.
19000	25000	Suppose Ms. Novak is a foreign service officer who's just arrived in Peking and is staying at the Peking Hotel.
25000	32000	Here's how she might be asked where she's staying and how she would reply. May I ask, where are you staying?
32000	38000	請問,你住在哪兒?
38000	46000	I'm staying at the Peking Hotel. 我住在北京飯店.
46000	54000	Here's the word for to stay at. 住在,住在,住在.
54000	63000	The second syllable,在, in the compound 住在, to stay at, is the same as the word 在, to be at, which was introduced in the last unit.
63000	71000	Here's the word for hotel. 飯店,飯店,飯店.
71000	81000	And here's the name, Peking Hotel. 北京飯店,北京飯店,北京飯店.
81000	86000	Here's the exchange line. 請問,你住在哪兒?
86000	93000	我住在北京飯店. Again. 請問,你住在哪兒?
93000	100000	我住在北京飯店. Check your comprehension. 請問,你住在哪兒?
100000	108000	May I ask, where are you staying? 我住在北京飯店.
108000	113000	I'm staying at the Peking Hotel. 我住在北京飯店.
113000	119000	With most verbs, you can say yes to a question by repeating the verb as a short answer.
119000	124000	Since a short answer by itself sounds abrupt in Chinese, it's usually followed by a full sentence.
124000	128000	The short answer acts as a sort of preface to what follows.
128000	132000	To say yes to the question, 它是陳同志嗎?
132000	137000	For instance, you would usually say 是,它是陳同志.
137000	141000	There are some verbs that may not be repeated as short answers.
141000	146000	The verb 住在 is one of them. To give a short yes answer to a question with 住在,
146000	149000	you simply use the verb 是.
149000	154000	Listen for 是, meaning yes, in the following exchange.
154000	157000	Are you staying at the Nationalities Hotel?
157000	164000	你住在民族飯店嗎?
164000	174000	Yes, I'm staying at the Nationalities Hotel. 是,我住在民族飯店.
174000	185000	Here's the name for the Nationalities Hotel. 民族飯店.
185000	191000	The word 民族 means nationalities in the sense of ethnic groupings rather than countries.
191000	197000	Here's the exchange live. 你住在民族飯店嗎?
197000	204000	是,我住在民族飯店. Again, 你住在民族飯店嗎?
204000	207000	是,我住在民族飯店.
207000	214000	The verb 住在 may also be used in asking what city a person is living in, although not for anything larger such as a province.
214000	220000	Listen to the following live exchange. 你住在上海嗎?
220000	223000	不,我不住在上海.
223000	228000	Notice that the word for no in this exchange is simply 不 in the following tone.
228000	234000	Listen to the word for no. 不,不,不.
234000	241000	Since 不住在 can't be used for a short answer, the word 住在 is omitted and 不 is used alone.
241000	249000	The short answer 不 is, of course, followed by a full sentence answer. Here's the exchange again. 你住在上海嗎?
249000	252000	不,我不住在上海.
252000	258000	Check your comprehension. 你住在上海嗎?
258000	267000	Do you live in Shanghai? 不,我不住在上海.
267000	270000	No, I don't live in Shanghai.
270000	277000	You may have noticed that with the city name, the verb 住在 is translated as to live in rather than to stay at.
277000	282000	Someone who already knows that you're staying at a hotel may want to ask which hotel you're staying at.
282000	290000	The word for which is 哪個.Listen to the question word which and be sure to identify its tone pattern.
290000	299000	哪個,哪個,哪個.Listen for 哪個,which in this exchange.
299000	308000	Which hotel are you staying at? 你住在哪個飯店?
308000	317000	I'm staying at the Peking Hotel. 我住在北京飯店.
317000	324000	Here it is live. 你住在哪個飯店?
324000	337000	Again, 你住在哪個飯店? 我住在北京飯店.Check your comprehension. 你住在哪個飯店?
337000	345000	Which hotel are you staying at? 我住在北京飯店.
345000	348000	I'm staying at the Peking Hotel. 你住在哪個飯店?
348000	358000	You may have recognized the bound word 哪, from an expression you had in earlier units. Listen. 你是哪個人?
358000	363000	What's your nationality? 你住在哪個飯店?
363000	366000	Which hotel are you staying at? 哪個飯店?
366000	374000	Literally, 哪個人 is which country person and 哪個飯店 is which hotel?
374000	381000	You may be wondering why the English question word which corresponds sometimes to 哪, and sometimes to 哪個.
381000	391000	This is how to keep them straight. 哪 is always only part of a word. Never try to use it except in compounds you've learned, such as 哪個.
391000	398000	On the other hand, 哪個 is a full word, like the question word which in English, and may be used freely.
398000	404000	For example, since person is 人, which person is 哪個人?
404000	412000	Listen for 哪個人 in the following live exchange. Miss Novak, looking at a newspaper photograph of a Labor Day celebration,
412000	420000	asked her Chinese companion to identify some officials she doesn't recognize. Listen. 哪個人是美同志?
420000	429000	她是美同志. Again, 哪個人是美同志?
429000	437000	On its own, without a noun like hotel or person after it, the word 哪個 may be translated which one.
437000	443000	For instance, the question in the last exchange could have been simply 哪個是美同志?
443000	449000	which one is comrade may? Listen to the two questions compared.
449000	466000	Which person is comrade may? 哪個人是美同志?
466000	475000	In any situation less impersonal than talking about a picture of strangers, it's considered rude to use the general counter 個 when referring to adults.
475000	490000	Instead, you use the polite counter for persons. Wait. Listen to the Chinese or which comrade 哪位同志?
490000	499000	Now suppose that Miss Novak is attending the Labor Day celebration in person. Listen. Which one is comrade Zhang?
499000	512000	哪位是張同志? She is comrade Zhang. 她是張同志.
512000	519000	Notice that Miss Novak asks her question using 哪位 alone with no noun after it. This is the usual pattern.
519000	528000	Since the counter way is only used with persons, the combination 哪位 can only mean which person, even without the noun then.
528000	536000	Here's the exchange again. Live. 哪位是張同志?
536000	548000	Again. 哪位是張同志? Check your comprehension. 哪位是張同志?
548000	555000	Which one is comrade Zhang? 哪位是張同志?
555000	562000	You'll remember that we called your attention to the low tone of the syllable 哪, meaning which.
562000	575000	The word for that has the following tone syllable 哪. Listen to that comrade 哪位同志?
575000	581000	The only difference between 哪位同志? Which comrade? And 哪位同志?
581000	592000	That comrade is the difference between a low tone and a falling tone. The same was true of the difference between 哪, where, and 哪, there.
592000	605000	This is a good lesson in the importance of tones. Listen to this example. Which one is comrade Gao? 哪位是高同志?
605000	613000	That one is comrade Gao. 哪位是高同志?
613000	619000	Here it is live. 哪位是高同志?
619000	626000	Again. 哪位是高同志?
626000	634000	The following sentences will give you some more practice with this tone distinction between questions with 哪, which, and statements with 哪.
634000	644000	That 他住在哪个饭店?
644000	654000	Which hotel is he staying at? 哪位是梅同志?
654000	663000	That one is comrade 哪? 哪个是民族饭店?
663000	676000	Which one is the nationalities hotel? 你住在哪个饭店?
676000	688000	Which hotel are you staying at? 那个人是高同志?
688000	695000	That person is comrade 高同志?
695000	704000	Now that you have had the words for which and that, you want the word for this. Here it is 这句话你一说就好了.
704000	714000	It may be helpful to remember that the answers 这句话的答案是这句,这句话的答案是这句,这句话的答案是这句话,郵寄,这句话的答案,这句话的答案,这句话的答案,这句话的答案 are all in the falling tone.
714000	717000	而其中的问题是哪个,哪个?
717000	719000	哪个,哪个?
719000	720000	在哪里?
720000	721000	在哪里?
721000	722000	都在Botom
722000	724000	小伯伯在地区的宿舍
724000	726000	在那个人的房间中说話
726000	727000	他就在那里
727000	728000	听
728000	731000	你住在这个饭店吗?
731000	734000	不,我不住在这个饭店
734000	736000	再次
736000	739000	你住在这个饭店吗?
739000	742000	不,我不住在这个饭店
742000	745000	不,我不住在这个饭店
745000	748000	不,我不住在这个饭店
748000	751000	不,我不住在这个饭店
751000	754000	不,我不住在这个饭店
754000	757000	不,我不住在这个饭店
757000	760000	不,我不住在这个饭店
760000	763000	这个,这个,这, only be used to refer to something relatively close
763000	767000	not to something farther away that you just pointing to
767000	769000	那,我们作为大家该评则
769000	775000	Now let's review all three specifying words, which, this, and that.
775000	778000	See if you can tell them apart in the following isolated sentences.
778000	782000	You'll hear each sentence twice.
782000	790000	你住在哪个饭店?
790000	793000	Which hotel are you staying at?
793000	801000	那个不是民族饭店。
801000	805000	That one's not the nationality's hotel.
805000	813000	哪位是高同志?
813000	816000	Which one is combat高?
816000	823000	那位是谁?
823000	826000	Who is that?
826000	834000	你住在这个饭店吗?
834000	838000	Are you staying at this hotel?
838000	845000	Mr. Bauer, one of Ms. Novak's colleagues, has taken her to meet Conrad Jiang, a Chinese diplomatic official.
845000	849000	Here's the Chinese diplomatic equivalent for the name Novak.
849000	856000	诺瓦克。
856000	861000	Here's what Conrad Jiang and Ms. Novak might say to each other after being introduced.
861000	864000	Conrad Jiang, good morning.
864000	869000	江同志您早。

883000	889000	早、早、早。
889000	892000	Literally, the word 早 means early.
892000	896000	By itself, it's only used in informal situations between friends.
896000	901000	Otherwise, you either add the word 您 or mention the person's name along with it.
901000	908000	Notice that the person's name may come before or after the rest of the greeting and is pronounced as an independent exclamation.
908000	917000	Here's the word used to translate 女士。
917000	924000	An unmarried foreign woman in the PRC might be addressed as 女士。
924000	928000	Actually, the title 女士 can be used to a married woman as well.

932000	936000	Traditionally, the word 女士 is a formal respectful term,
936000	939000	which suggests that the woman addressed is well educated.

1081000	1083000	you put the name of the larger area first,
1083000	1085000	followed by the smaller.
1085000	1088000	In English, we do it the other way around.
1088000	1090000	Here's the exchange line.
1090000	1095000	Listen for the sequence, larger area, smaller area.
1095000	1099000	请问,你是美国哪儿的人?
