  2. 你好！(Nǐ hǎo!) a common form of greeting • It can be used to address strangers upon first introduction or between old acquaintances. • To respond, simply repeat the same greeting.

  3. 请问 (qǐng wèn) is a polite formula to be used to get someone’s attention before asking a question or making an inquiry • similar to “excuse me, may I please ask…” in English.

  4. 小姐 (xiǎojiě): Miss, Young Lady • A word with two third tone syllables. The tone sandhi rule applies, thus making the first third tone 小 (xiǎo) a second tone. • The second syllable 姐 (jiě) can also be pronounced in the neutral tone

  5. The Verb 姓 (xìng) • 姓 (xìng) is both a noun and a transitive verb. • When it is used as a verb, it must be followed by an object.

  6. A: B: My surname is Li Wǒ xìng Lǐ. 我姓李。 • What is your surname? (Lit: You are surnamed what?) • Nǐ xìng shénme? • 你姓什么？

  7. 姓(xìng) is usually negated with 不 (bù).

  8. A: B: My surname is not Li. Wǒ bú xìng Lǐ. 我不姓李。 • Is your family name Li? • Nǐ xìng Lǐ ma? • 你姓李吗?

  9. However, when 姓 (xìng) is used with 贵(guì) to form a respectful or polite expression to ask for someone’s surname, the proper way to inquire and to respond is as follows:

  10. A: B: My surname is Wang. Wǒ xìng Wáng. 我姓王。 Remember to drop the honorific 贵(guì)when you reply • What is your surname?(Lit: Your honorable surname is…?) • Nǐ guì xìng? • 你贵姓？

  11. Questions Ending with 呢 (ne) • 呢 (ne) often follows a noun or pronoun to form a question when the content of the question is already clear from the context.

  12. A: B: My family name is Li. How about you? Wǒ xìng Lǐ, nǐ ne? 我姓李，你呢？ • What’s your family name, please? • Qǐng wèn, nǐ guì xìng? • 请问, 你贵姓?

  13. A: B: My name is Wang Peng. How about you? Wǒ jiào Wáng Péng, nǐ ne? 我叫王朋，你呢? • What’s your name? • Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi? • 你叫什么名字?

  14. When 呢 (ne) is used in this way, there must be some context. • In each of the two examples above, the context is provided by the preceding sentence, 我姓李 (Wǒ xìng Lǐ) in (1), and 我叫王朋 (Wǒ jiào Wáng Péng) in (2).

  15. The Verb 叫 (jiào) • The verb 叫 (jiào) has several meanings. • It means “to be called” in this lesson. • Like 姓 (xìng), it must be followed by an object, which can be either a full name or a given name, but seldom a given name that consists only of one syllable.

  16. A: B: My name is Wang Peng. Wǒ jiào Wáng Péng. 我叫王朋。 • What is your name? • Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi? • 你叫什么名字?

  17. 叫 (jiào) is usually negated with 不 (bù).

  18. A: B: My name is not Li Sheng. Wǒ bú jiào Lǐ Shēng. 我不叫李生。 • Is your name Li Sheng? • No jiào Lǐ Shēng ma? • 你叫李生吗?

  19. the basic word order in a Chinese sentence : Subject + Verb + Object • The word order remains the same in statements and questions. • Remember that you don’t place the question word at the beginning of a question as you do in English, unless that question word is the subject.
