im not sure what you mean by 'what do you want'..
what do you want?: 你想要什么？ / 你要什么？
what do you want (to do)?: 你想干什么？

insults as in bad words to scold people ?


fool: 白痴
stupid: 笨
greedy (for food): 贪吃
no manners: 没礼貌

HHI CHINESE HELPERS!

what does the name "ying jun" look like? Hehhee. Sorry kind thats pretty random but it's a name;
convert it to chinese characters please.

[novemberbaby]

^ Um, that would be kind of difficult because there are many characters for ying and jun. It would be helpful if you gave us a meaning.

[tengteng]

^^英俊 ying jun.

That can mean handsome too.

The meaning of it, I think is handsome and "hero" hahaha

^^英俊 ying jun.

That can mean handsome too.

I'm assuming that this is these correct characters.

Thank you!

I have a question regarding the characters 它 and 牠. I know that they both mean "it" but I'm confused on their uses. I always believed that 它 applies to objects while 牠 applies to animals. Can anyone tell me if I'm right/wrong? Thanks!

[novemberbaby]

^ You are correct about their usages.

I wanted to ask a seller on ebay something. Do these senteces make sense lol?

餵! 海軍夾克的顏色是否是在圖片顏色和真實一樣？ 它似乎真正地明亮在圖片(可能由於照相機閃光)和我想知道它是否實際上是黑暗在真實。 謝謝!

你好！圖片里海軍夾克的顏色是否跟拿到的货品一样？
As for the next sentence, I don't get what you are trying to say. Maybe you can type it out in English then I'll translate it for you.

[pinkxlilies]

^oh lol. I was trying to say:

" It seems really bright in the pictures (maybe because of the camera flash) and I was wondering if it was actually darker in real life. "

thanks for your help

ni2 hao3, wo3 shi4 Sophia. Wo3 xian4 zai4 bu4 fang1 bian4 jie1 ting1 ni3 de3 dian4 hua4, qing3 liu2 xia4 ni3 de3 ming2 he2 liu3 yan3. wo3 dai1 huer3 hui4 da3 hui2 gei3 ni3. Zai4 Jian4!

A little correction with the pinyin:

ni3 hao3, wo3 shi4 Sophia. Wo3 xian4 zai4 bu4 fang1 bian4 jie1 ting1 ni3 de dian4 hua4, qing3 liu2 xia4 ni3 de ming2 he2 liu2 yan2. wo3 dai1 hu�r (ie: hui4 + er) hui4 da3 hui2 gei3 ni3. Zai4 Jian4!

While 你 (ni3) is spoken in the second tone when paired with a third-tone word - for ease of pronunciation - the pinyin remains unchanged.

呆会儿 - the 儿 is pronounced lightly, what we call the 轻声 (qing1 sheng1). You don't normally ascribe a pinyin number tone to words like that, although the pinyin for 儿 is er2. The phrase is pronounced with a distinct roll of the tongue for the last two words.
