"Sai Bak " (:

Hey,
I'm actually freaking out right now because I think I screwed upon an easy Chinese word in Mandarin.
When you say "shen me" (it means "what" in English), is "shen" second tone or third tone?
There's two ways to write "shen" too.

It should be third tone when you say it.
Good question though, my dictionary says it's second tone.
Sounds a bit weird to me.

Yupp it should be on the second tone.

什么 SHEN2 ME

什 for simplified Chinese
甚 for traditional Chinese

But yea, in my place, we usually say SHEN3 ME in the third tone xD

喜欢现在的感觉
喜欢可以去睡懒觉 不用早期去上课的感觉
喜欢晚上睡前不用忙着写作业的感觉
喜欢不用去急忙到学校抢停车位置得感觉
喜欢不用担心被开违反停车制度的罚单 虽然我这两年已经收到了16个违反停车的发单了
喜欢不用再去理会那些"天书"了
喜欢不用大早上去听那些老头子念经了 (妈的， 付了那么多钱上课， 其实讲的那些玩意书上都有， 基本还是自己学习 ， 听他们墨迹还不如自己学呢， 不公平阿~~~更重要的是，我上了这么多年课，竟然从来没有和美女同上过一节课。 看看那帮学商务还有会计的 美女如云阿。 哥们我真是失算，早知道不学数学了。 这几年眼睛都没保养好。哎。。。。) 喜欢spring break
喜欢可以去旅游了。 ( 目前还是在幻想中， 因为囊中目前很羞涩，所以暂时还没落实)

CANTONESE HELP

umm. what do you call a friend's dad?
my friend is a guy, but what would i call him?
hes kinda old XD.
would i call him like uncle or something?

i think you should call your friend's dad "sai3 baak3" or "suk1 suk1"...it's more polite

"sai3 baak3" will be more formal and polite...

or just say "uncle"

[justiiine]

wow these are really helpful! thanks

[saranghaese7en]

XD sorry such a late reply.
but um like what kind of uncle xD. i knwo i know i feel stupid asking.

"sok sok" mann it's hard to write canto since wwe don't have a romanized thing... but it's in kinda a high ish tone?
or you can say "bak bak" mannn it's so hard to write out... you should prolly ask a canto person to say it outloud

[Yangie12]

XD sorry such a late reply.
but um like what kind of uncle xD. i knwo i know i feel stupid asking.

If your friend's dad is younger than your dad, it should be 'sok sok' or 'ah sok' (It's basically the same)
However, if your friend's dad is older than your dad it should be 'phaak phaak' or 'Sai Bak'. (The same)
But 'sok sok' is more common, so I advise you to use that.

'Sai Bak' is also uncle. But that's if he is family of yours (if it's your dad's brother).
'Sok sok' can also be used to refer your mom's little brother.
'Ko foe' is used for your mom's older brother.

I can be wrong, but that's what I know ^^

i think my dad's brother should be "baak3 baak3(伯伯)" or "daai6 baak3(大伯)"

i don't know, may be it's a difference of culture, i only use "sai3 baak3(世伯)" when i call friends' dad

also, you can call your colleague's, girlfriend's or boyfriend's dad "sai3 baak3(世伯)" ^^

Hi! 大家好！I'm glad I found this thread, cause I'm signed up for the Chinese AP test, and from what people have told me... it's pretty hard (anybody here have any experience with it?). I speak Cantonese fluently and have been Mandarin for about 12 years now, and I was glad to see I could actually read + understand some/most of the things I've seen on here so far, but I definitely need practice. So I guess I'll be checking this thread often! Hopefully I'll be able to help/receive help from people here!

没问题的 means no problem.
汇款 hui4 kuan3 means money order.
I think the second part means 'you can give me the money order then.'

Can someone with better Mandarin confirm that? Thanks.

Hi peachan! Welcome to the Chinese Help thread and Soompi! ^^

[krnxpr0]

my friend just said this to me.
aiusdfhaisdufhasdf (11:13:45 PM): ni you nao zhi bing. ni bu zhi dao wo zai suo se me. haha. bu shi ji de pi gu, ben dannnn.
can someone tell me what this means?

ni you nao zhi bing - you are mentally ill (something wrong with your brain)
ni bu zhi dao wo zai suo se me - you don't know what I'm saying.
ben dannnn - idiot.

That's all I could make out from it.
Some of the pinyin is off. (ni bu zhi dao wo zai shuo se me) That's probably not relevant.

edit//
bu shi ji de pi gu - not a chicken's butt.

it's tough cos it's just the pinyin & doesn't even have the tones to go along >_> but from what i deciphered i think it's something like that.

"you have a brain disease. you don't know what i'm talking about. it's not pig's butt, stupid."

your friend doesn't sound very nice >_>
