Are you vietnamese? = nǐ shì yuè nán rén ma?

I’m vietnamese = wǒ shì yuè nán rén.

So, zzzimverysleepy, nǐ shì yuè nán rén ma?

Hi, Lynie, for your question:

Are you a Filipino? = nǐ shì fēi lǜ bīn rén ma?

I’m a Filipino = wǒ shì fēi lǜ bīn rén.

Hi, ND, here is the answer:

wǒ lái zì duō mǐ ní jiā gòng hé guó = i am from the Dominican republic

lái zì = from

duō mǐ ní jiā = Dominica

gòng hé guó = republic

But you can say it in an easy way:

wǒ shì duó mǐ ní jiā rén = I’m a Dominican

Wow! I really didn’t know there are lots of Chinese people in your capital. Actually I’m curious about your country. You know at least so far I haven’t met Dominican people here in Shanghai.

Ni hao, please could you tell me what “huan ying ni lai” means. Also could you please tell me what“hen gao xing ke yi bang zhu you” means. I know hen gao xing is pleased to meet you, and I think ke yi bang is to help. Am i write? Xie xie, zaijian !

Mei wen ti, wo lai gao su ni! (No problem, Let me tell you!)

“huan ying ni lai” means “Welcome to”.

And you are right about the second phrase, it’s “I’m very pleased to help you”! There is only one small mistake. “hen gao xing” is just “very pleased”. If you want to say “very pleased to meet you”, it’s “hen gao xing ren shi ni”. “ren shi” is “meet”/“to know”.

Well done! pk.
