SCRIPT
Hello everyone. Welcome to Bennysland. This is Benny, your Mandarin teacher. In today's micro-class
we will learn a very useful word and phrase which is
“Hello and how are you?”
In Chinese, we say,
“Nǐ hǎo ?”
“Nǐ hǎo ma?”
“Nǐ hǎo ?”
“Nǐ hǎo ma?”
“You” is “nǐ.”
“Hǎo” is “good.”
“Nǐ hǎo” is “hello.”
While “ma” is a question word. We put it at the end of the sentence to make it a question.
So “how are you” in Chinese is “nǐ hǎo ma?” “nǐ hǎo ma”?
Alright guys, did you get it? Come with me, let's see how we use it.
SCENE 1:

B: Hi Zoe. B: Nǐ hǎo ma? Zoe. A: Wǒ hěn hǎo. B: OK.
|
SCENE 2:
|
B: Hi Zoe. B: Nǐ hǎo ma? Zoe. A: Wǒ hěn hǎo. B: OK.
