Well not this year but maybe next year or in two years. I’ve been fascinated by the Chinese language.

Hi Sara, to miss some one in Chinese is “xiǎng”, for example:

wǒ xiǎng wǒ de péng yǒu = I miss my friend.

To miss someone or something by time is “cuò guò”, for example:

I missed the train = wǒ cuò le zhè bān huǒ chē

To return or give something back to someone is “huǎn gěi”, for example:

Can you return the book back to the library? = nǐ kě yi bǎ shū huǎn gěi tú shū guǎn ma?

Can you give me back my money? = Nǐ kě yi bǎ qián huán gěi wǒ ma?
