It's a polite way to start a question and is commonly used to show respect. Examples: + +- `请问你叫什么名字 (qǐng wèn nǐ jiào shén me míng zi)?` – Excuse me, what is your name? + +- `请问 (qǐng wèn),你是设计师吗 (nǐ shì shè jì shī ma)?` – Excuse me, are you a designer? + +
+ +#### Forming a Question with `吗 (ma)` + +Adding the particle `吗 (ma)` to the end of a declarative sentence makes it a question. Examples: + +- Declarative: `你是设计师 (nǐ shì shè jì shī)。` – You are a designer. + +- Question: `你是设计师吗 (nǐ shì shè jì shī ma)?` – Are you a designer? + +
+ +#### Giving a Positive or Negative Answer + +There're two ways to answer a question made with `吗 (ma)`. The positive answer is `是的 (shì de)`, which means "yes" or "that's right". The negative answer is `不是 (bù shì)`, which means "no" or "is not". Examples: + +Speaker A: `你是设计师吗 (nǐ shì shè jì shī ma)?` – Are you a designer? + +Speaker B: `是的 (shì de),我是设计师 (wǒ shì shè jì shī)。` – Yes, I am a designer. / `我不是设计师 (wǒ bù shì shè jì shī)。` – I'm not a designer. + +
+ +#### Asking Follow-up Questions with `你呢 (nǐ ne)?` + +`你呢 (nǐ ne)` is a natural way to ask the person you're speaking to a question about a previously mentioned topic, meaning "How about you?" or "And you?". Examples: + +- `我是中国人 (wǒ shì zhōng guó rén)。你呢 (nǐ ne)?` – I am Chinese. And you? + +- `我是数据分析师 (wǒ shì shù jù fēn xī shī)。你呢 (nǐ ne)?` – I'm a data analyst. How about you? + +
+ +### Using `我叫 (wǒ jiào)` to Introduce Your Name + +`我叫 (wǒ jiào)` + name is a commonly used structure to introduce someone's name, similar to `我是 (wǒ shì)` + name. It means "I am called..." or "My name is...". + +
+ +### Using `你是 (nǐ shì)` to Talk About Someone you're Speaking to + +Just as you use `我是 (wǒ shì)` to describe yourself, you can use `你是 (nǐ shì)` to talk about the person you are speaking to. This structure works with names, nationalities, and professions: + +- `你是刘明吗 (nǐ shì liú míng ma)?` – Are you Liu Ming? + +- `你是新加坡人吗 (nǐ shì xīn jiā pō rén ma)?` – Are you Singaporean? + +- `你是开发者 (nǐ shì kāi fā zhě)。` – You are a developer. + +
+ +### Other Useful Expressions + +`很高兴认识你 (hěn gāo xìng rèn shì nǐ)` is a common phrase used when meeting someone for the first time. It means "Nice to meet you." The natural response to this is `我也是 (wǒ yě shì)` which means "likewise". + +# --assignment-- + +I confirm I read the grammar highlights. diff --git a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde5aae5c365188e109f1a.md b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde5aae5c365188e109f1a.md index 316f0c60780..c5644be5977 100644 --- a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde5aae5c365188e109f1a.md +++ b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde5aae5c365188e109f1a.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ dashedName: task-1 lang: zh-CN --- - + # --description-- diff --git a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde7d178ecf21c4ca19597.md b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde7d178ecf21c4ca19597.md index 4d434d8e2ee..20476977f35 100644 --- a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde7d178ecf21c4ca19597.md +++ b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fde7d178ecf21c4ca19597.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ dashedName: task-2 lang: zh-CN --- - + # --description-- diff --git a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fe153a6494282327edcb3a.md b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fe153a6494282327edcb3a.md index 50748494606..8c1f5501854 100644 --- a/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fe153a6494282327edcb3a.md +++ b/curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/zh-a1-warm-up-meeting-new-teammates/68fe153a6494282327edcb3a.md @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ This word means "excuse me", and is used to politely introduce a question. `请问 (qǐng wèn)` literally means "may I ask".
