website 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Ni hao, I have been studying Mandarin for about eight years and living in China for two years, but my language skills are very poor. I still can't read, write, or understand much Chinese. Could someone please tell me in pinyin how to say the following? My dictionary doesn't have them and my Chinese girlfriend is tired of me asking her. Cambodia - organize - magazine - ex-wife - best - better- What do you mean? little by little - step by step - Xiexie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

confucius 4 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Cambodia is Jianpuzhai, not zai Ex-wife is "qian qi" "little by little" (gradually) should be "man man de" or "yi dian yi di de" (di = drip) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
