Hi mr. Benny,
Could you teach me the word for “about” in Mandarin? “The book is about a Chinese man.” “What is the movie about?” “I’m talking about him.” “It is about 2 hrs from here.” “It’s about 190cms.”

In Chinese about is “guān yú”. For example:
zhè běn shū shì guān yú….. = This book is about…
zhè bù diǎn yǐng shì guān yú…. = This movie is about….
But “talk about = tán lùn”, no need to add "about“
As for “about 2 hrs or about 190cms” is “dà yuē which means approximately”
