6 1 Making friends (i) In this unit you will learn how to say hello how to observe basic courtesies how to say please and thank you the order of names in Chinese 1 CD 1, tr 5 7 Mr King (Wáng xi1nsheng) has come to China to take up a job in a joint venture company (héz3 qcyè). Mr Li (LC xi1nsheng) is a friend and colleague of Mr King s Chinese teacher in Britain. The meeting takes place in Mr Li s office. Ll Wáng xiānsheng, nl hjo! How do you do, Mr King? King/first-born/you/good/ Wáng Ll xiānsheng, nl hjo! How do you do, Mr Li? Li/first-born/you/good/ Ll Qlng zuò. Please, sit down. Invite/sit/ Wáng Xièxie. Thank you. Thank/ Ll Qlng hē kāfēi. Have some coffee. Invite/drink/coffee/ Wáng Xièxie, wm bù hē kāfēi. No, thanks, I don t drink Thank/I/not/drink/coffee/ coffee. 18

7 Ll Nàme, Zhōngguó chá Would you like some xíng bu xíng? China tea then? So/middle country/tea/ be OK/not/be OK/ Wáng Xíng, xièxie nl! Wm hěn Yes, thank you, I m very xlhuan hē Zhōngguó chá. fond of China tea. Be OK/thank/you/I/very/ like/drink/middle country/tea/ xiānsheng (n) Mr, gentleman nl (ps) you hjo (adj) good qlng (v) to invite zuò (v) to sit hē (v) to drink kāfēi (n) coffee xièxie (v) to thank wm (ps) I, me bù (neg) not nàme in that case, so Zhōngguó (N) China chá (n) tea xíng (v) to be all right hěn (adv) very xlhuan (v) to like QUICK VOCAB Grammar 1 Names In Chinese, names always appear in the following order: surname, given name (Christian name), title (when used), e.g. Máo Zéd4ng tóngzhì, where Máo is the surname, Zéd4ng the given name and tóngzhì is used in place of a title and means comrade. Unit 1 Making friends (i) 19

8 2 Nl hjo Some Chinese adjectives can also function as verbs so hao means to be good as well as good. (Some people call such adjectives stative verbs.) Thus no separate verb for to be is used. Note word order in Wáng xi1nsheng, n# h!o. Mr King comes first in Chinese. It is very difficult to say two third tones together. When this happens, the first one is said as a second tone, but it is still marked as a third tone in the text, otherwise you might think that the syllable in question is always a second tone, which it is not: N# h!o is therefore said as Ní h!o How are you? 3 Use of qlng QCng means to invite or to request somebody to do something. Do not think of it as please as this will create problems with word order later on. Note also that Chinese verbs are invariable, which means that we use the same form throughout. 4 Negation with bù With one exception (the verb to have ydu), all verbs are negated by putting bù in front of them. 5 Questions xíng bu xíng? One common way of asking a question in Chinese is to put the positive and negative forms of the verb together in that order: Xíng bu xíng? Is it all right (or not)? The answer is not yes or no but either the positive form of the verb, in this case xíng or the negative form, i.e. bù xíng. (This construction is often referred to as the choice-type question form.) Note that the second half of the question, i.e. bù plus the verb, is sometimes written without tones, as it is normally said unstressed in everyday speech. I have followed this convention at times to familiarize you with it. 20

9 6 Position of adverbs Most adverbs in Chinese precede the verb, e.g. I like you very much is WD h@n xchuan nc. 7 Tone of bù Bù is normally fourth tone (`) but changes to second tone ( ) when followed by another fourth tone, e.g. bú zuò not bù zuò. Also note that in Xíng bu xíng?, bu is toneless. Exercise 1.1 Make the following sentences negative: Wm hē kāfēi Wm bù hē kāfēi. 1 WD zuò. 2 NC hao. 3 WD h2 chá. 4 NC xchuan Zh4ngguó. 5 LC xi1nsheng xièxie wd. 6 Wáng xi1nsheng qcng nc h2 Zh4ngguó chá. Exercise 1.2 Make the following statements into questions and then answer them first in the positive and then in the negative: Nl hē chá. Nl hē bu hē chá? Wm hē chá. Wm bù hē chá. 1 WD xchuan h2 k1f2i. 2 NC xièxie wd. 3 Wáng xi1nsheng qcng wd zuò. 4 LC xi1nsheng xchuan h2 shuc (water). 5 T1 (he/she) xchuan h2 Zh4ngguó chá. Unit 1 Making friends (i) 21

10 Exercise 1.3 Translate into colloquial English: 1 Wáng xi1nsheng qcng wd h2 Zh4ngguó chá. 2 LC xi1nsheng hbn bù xchuan Wáng xi1nsheng. 3 Wáng xi1nsheng yb (also) bù hbn xchuan LC xi1nsheng. 4 NC bú xièxie wd, nàme wd yb bú xièxie nc. 5 T1 qcng wd zuò. T1 yb qcng wd h2 k1f2i. Insight: learning tip Go back to the pronunciation guide before you start Unit 2. Listen, repeat, listen again and repeat. Make sure you are really comfortable with Unit 1 before you go onto Unit 2. On meeting people On meeting somebody for the first time on a formal occasion, the Chinese will usually shake hands and incline the head a little at the same time in greeting. This will probably be accompanied by such questions as Nín guìxìng? What is your surname? (Lit. you [polite form] expensive/honourable surname) or QCng wèn dàmíng? May I ask your (big/ famous) name? or JiEyAng, jieyang I m very pleased to meet you (Lit. long time raise head looking up to you). In less formal situations, an older person may pat a younger one on the shoulder, close friends of the same sex may hug each other and pat each other on the back a few times and say for instance, NC hái huózhe? You re still alive! or Shénme f2ng ba nc chu3 lái le? What wind blew you here? (This phrase is normally used when you meet someone unexpectedly.) Secondary school students still stand up when the teacher comes in and chorus out LAosh3 hao! How do you do teacher? (Lit. teacher good!) and the teacher will normally answer Tóngxuémen hao! How do you do students? (Lit. fellow students good). Hopefully this will give you a few guidelines which you can then supplement from your own observations. 22

11 TESTING YOURSELF You ve arrived at the end of Unit 1, so now for some quick revision. Please respond to the following questions in Chinese: 1 What would you say on meeting a Mr Li? 2 How would you ask him to sit down? 3 How would you ask him if he would like some coffee? 4 What would he say if he didn t drink coffee? 5 How would you ask if he would like [some]* tea instead? 6 What would he say if he didn t drink tea? 7 What would he say if he liked Chinese tea? 8 How do you say Thank you? 9 How do you say I like you? 10 How do you say I like you very much? * English words in square brackets should not be translated into Chinese.
