Ni hao PB, rang wo lai,

“Gao1 xing4 ren2 shi ni3. Wo3 ming2 zi shi2 Megan (not sure how it would be pronounced), wo3 chu1 sheng2 zai2 ying1 guo2 ren2. Wo3 xi1 wang4 wo3 men neng2…”

Well, I’m missing ‘be friends’ from the above, as I’m not sure which word to use. Which leads me to my own question…

What is friends in Mandarin? I know peng2 you is friend, so… is there something I could or am supposed to add to peng2 you to make it a plural?
Xie xie.

Xia ci jian.

Oops. Just realised I said “I was born in English person” :p

You can say “Wo chu sheng zai ying guo” for “I was born in England” or you can say “Wo shi ying guo ren” for “I am an English person”

Let me give the answer again,

hěn gāo xìng rèn shí nǐ = Nice to meet you

wǒ jiào Megan = My name is Megan

wǒ shì yīng guó rén = I am English

wǒ xǐ wàng wǒ men kě yi chéng wéi péng yǒu = I hope we can become friends

chéng wéi = to become
