Short notes (easy tips)

  • 包 (bāo) = bag. Example: 白色的包 = white bag.
  • 杯子 (bēizi) = cup. Use 一个 (yí gè) before cup: 一个杯子.
  • 白天 (báitiān) = daytime; 白 (bái) = white (color).
  • 很热 (hěn rè) = very hot. 很 + adjective is a common pattern.
  • 要 (yào) = want / will; 买 (mǎi) = buy. 他要买 = he wants to buy.
  • 不大喜欢 (bù dà xǐhuān) = don't really like (softer than 完全不喜欢).
  • 房子 (fángzi) = house; 衬衫 (chènshān) = shirt. Use 件 (jiàn) as the measure word for shirts: 一件衬衫.

Practice reading each sentence aloud with the pinyin. Try swapping words (for example, change 白色的包 to 黑色的包) to make new sentences.
