The mega monster Chinese phrase thread (impress the ladies!!)

[wilsonlee71]

I used two simply phrases in my last letter to my lady.  Ni Hao (simple enough) and you are lovely

She excited responded with some chinese. I need a little assistance in the translation.

1. Ni hao ma? Hen kai xin shou dao ni de lei xin.

2. xie xie ni wo zai ze ni deng ni de lai xin (which had followed "Have a nice week and hope to hear from you soon".  Is this what she said?

Any assistance would be great!

1. How are you? I'm very happy to have received your letter - Ni (you) hao (good) ma (interrogative particle)? Hen (very) kai xin (happy) shou dao (received) ni de (your) lei (coming) xin (letter).

2. Thank you. I am thinking of you. I'll wait for your letter - xie (thank) xie (thank) ni (you) wo (I) zai (think) ze (of) ni (you) deng (wait) ni de (your) lai (coming) xin (letter)

Quick question, if you actually wrote some of these phrases in a private email would they be able to understand /read them or do the girls only understand Chinese characters? I know Japanese understand western characters but not too sure if they are commonly used in china.

Tiztom yes it would be ok to use some of theese phrases.Your lady and the translater would understand

[Irishman]

Wo wei lai de lao po jiao Li Ling- This is my future wife Li Ling
Wo de nv peng you jiao Li Ling - This is my girlfriend Li Ling
Wo shi zhong guo nv hai de lao gong - I am a Chinese ladies husband.

I think nv is pronouced like nü - Arnold or anyone confirm?

[Arnold]

It's Nu(3) peng you
Rang wo gei ni jieshao , zhe shi wo Nu pengyou Li Ling . Let me introduce to you my Girlfriend Li Ling .

Rang wo gei ni jieshao , zhe shi wo LaoPo Chu Qing . Let me introduce to you my Wife Chu Qing .

[Irishman]

It's Nu(3) peng you
Rang wo gei ni jieshao , zhe shi wo Nu pengyou Li Ling . Let me introduce to you me Girlfriend Li Ling .

Rang wo gei ni jieshao , zhe shi wo LaoPo Chu Qing . Let me introduce to you my Wife Chu Qing .

I was thinking this too Arnold, dont think she understood what i was asking to be honest, maybe its a dialect thing???
I found - this online and its does seem to sounds like as you say nu3

[Arnold]

Yeah ... here we thought all we need to worry about is the four sounds . Haha ... the Dialect's are even worse . And that can throw the whole sentence in a mixer and come out completely different . Ahhhhh .... why Me ??

Dialect or not I hope she never looses her accent speaking English, I'd be a liar if i didn't admit its a total turn on ! That and her laugh, she has the funniest cute laugh..ok..i'll stop now...

[Vince G]

Irish Now I'm laughing. I think the same thing about Song. She has a great laugh. Cute and fitting. And her accent in english just makes me laugh and she knows it. We do english lessons over the phone. She says the sentence and I repeat it. She wants to hear how I say it. I told her she'll be talking like a New Yorker soon. :s

FYI when I use this translator (when getting stuck with understanding something) standardmandarin.com/basicmandarin they have mostly sentences and you can't just get the word you need but what they have she says very good. But when I use MDBG to pull a word up she says no good they are wrong? The word is right the definition is right but the dialect isn't. She says they say it wrong?

[Sylvain D]

I always have on my mind this nice sentence...

I looked one time for a nice sentence to say to a lady...

"Wo yao ni"...
I thought it was meant to say "I love you" or "I want to be with you"...
No way..

It is :
"I want you"....
It is also related to sex and to affirm "male's characters" on women, meaning they want that woman and nobody else..
so it is also good but beware if you want to give it a try....

[Sylvain D]

Ok, another sentence I have learned recently
(I think the pinyin translation is that)

Xing qi si, wo yue ni qu can guan chi fan ba

===> Thursday, I will invite you to go eating in a restaurant

[wilsbrough]

Here is a couple of phrases you may find useful when you get to the airport.

Ni shi shei? - Who are you?

Ru guo shi nu hai de zhao pian ma? - Where is the girl from the photo?

Hopefully non of you will need these...! :icon_cheesygrin:

This is a good thread, and could end up being a monster thread too. hahaha!!

What it needs is one of you Mods or the tech guy to correlate all of the posts relevant content onto a single page for easy reference.  (Something like that used for the ladies profile numbers.) That's if any have the time to do it??  It's either that, or most of these contents will never see the light of day again, especially as the page numbers go up and up. (Shame to waste them all)....hahaha!!
