English to Chinese

I am using numbers to represent the intonations. 1 would be 1st tone and so on. If you do not know the Chinese tones you would not be able to pronounce the words correctly.

Literally Hi, my name is crystal would be:

Hai4, wo3 de4 ming2 zi4 shi4 Crystal.

But a more common semi-formal greeting would be ni2 hao3 (literally: you good, something like "how are you?" in English) instead of hai4. Hai4 would be fine with the younger Chinese in an informal situation. But then you might as well say:

Hai4 wo3 shi4 Crystal.

Literally, Hi, I am Crystal.

er shi jiu 二十九

In Chinese, the word 'boy' is translated as '男孩' (nán hái), which is pronounced as 'nahn high'.

You can say "我很好，你呢？" in Chinese to mean "I'm very good, how about you?"

The word 'gou' would be pronounced very similar to English's 'go', but with a slight 'w' sound on the end.
If you'd like to hear a native speaker's pronunciation of 'gou', please see the related link below. The link applies to the word狗 (gǒu)and has a dipping tone.

同情 Tóng qíng, which actually also means sympathy.

Answer 你好 Ni-Hao

It could be the English version of "既来之, 则安之". The original meaning of this quote is 'someone has come to visit for your reason, you should provide him space to live'. However, its usage has been changed by time. Now it refers to 'you should settle down at the place where you have come'.

In Mandarin, insults can be expressed using phrases or words that are offensive or disrespectful. It's important to be mindful of the impact of your words and to avoid using derogatory language.

The Chinese character for "shu" is written as "书". It consists of three strokes, with the first stroke being a horizontal line and the other two being vertical lines coming down from the first stroke.

It sounds like "Jong" at first, but the "J" sound is made by keeping your tongue loose in the front of your mouth while the "Zh" sound is made by curling your tongue so that the tip touches the middle of the roof of your mouth.

After you curl your tongue, keep your teeth together and try saying "Jong" again and it will give you the "Zh" sound.

White in Mandarin Chinese is pronounced as "bái" (白).

You can say "I am half Chinese and half English" to express that you have a mixed heritage from both Chinese and English backgrounds.

It is a made up word that does not exist. Non-Chinese speakers frequently imitate poorly how they speak and made up that word

你好吗？

Ni hao ma?

Dao Xin Jia is a style of Tai Chi Chuan, a Chinese martial art known for its slow, flowing movements and emphasis on internal energy cultivation. Dao Xin Jia focuses on integrating the principles of Tai Chi with Taoist philosophy and emphasizes relaxation, balance, and harmony in movement.

Yes, Mandarin and Standard Chinese refer to the same language, which is the official language of China and Taiwan. It is the most widely spoken language in the world.

你願意嫁給我嗎？(Nǐ yuàn yì jià gěi wǒ ma)

Literally: Are you willing to marry to me?

Mandarin: He Wen Xiao Jie 河文小姐

Cantonese: Ho Mun Siu Ze 河文小姐

To tell a better story...

no just kidding the REAL reason is:

Ancient Chinese would write using pictorial symbols (something like Egyptian hieroglyphics), like the word for shell would look like a shell, etc. Over the years, these symbols have morphed into the modern-day words, with the lines and strokes and everything, that is called Chinese today.

謝謝 (Xièxiè) is pronounced like "She-ih she-ih." (the X goes "Sh," the i goes "ee," and the è goes "Ih" or "Eh.")

In Cantonese, "19" is pronounced as "sap9 gau3" (十九).

Love is 爱 (ài) and hugs is 拥抱 (yǒngbào) in Chinese.

In Mandarin Chinese, "do you speak" is translated as "你会说吗？(Nǐ huì shuō ma?)"

Well first of all, there is no language called "Chinese". Like there is no language called American or Indian. There are two large languages in China, those are Mandarin and Cantonese. To say Lisa in Mandarin you say: 丽萨. However there is no translation for Lisa in Cantonese.
