SCRIPT

Hello everyone. Welcome to AskBennyChinese.Com Micro-Class. I am Benny, your Mandarin teacher. Today, I will teach you a very important sentence, which is:

“Where do you live?”

In Chinese, we say,
“Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?”
“Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?”


“Nǐ” means “you”

 

And “zhù zài” means “live in or live at” “zhù zài”

Well, “nǎli” is “where” “nǎli”

So “where do you live” in Chinese we say
“Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?”
“Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?”

 

OK, my friends, did you get it? Come with me, let's see how we use it.

 

SCENE 1:

B: Sally. Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?
A: Wǒ zhù zài zhèli.

B: Hmm... zhèli? Wǒ zhù zài zhèli.
A: Oh... Wǒmen liǎng gè gé hǎo yuǎn.
B: Duì, fēicháng yuǎn.

 

SCENE 2:

B: Sally. Nǐ zhù zài nǎli?
A: Wǒ zhù zài zhèli.

B: Hmm... zhèli? Wǒ zhù zài zhèli.
A: Oh... Wǒmen liǎng gè gé hǎo yuǎn.
B: Duì, fēicháng yuǎn.
