Welcome to Chinese Studio. I&rsquo;m Yajie.<br \/>  \tC: Hi, everyone, I&rsquo;m Cam. \u65e9\u4e0a\u597d z\u01ceoshang h\u01ceo, yajie.<br \/>  \tY: \u65e9\u4e0a\u597d\uff01Today we&rsquo;ll continue with how to use numbers. First let&rsquo;s check our key words of the day!<br \/>  \t************Key words of the day<br \/>  \tToday we&rsquo;ll continue with the usages of the numbers. For example, \u56db\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e94\u53f7 April the 25. \u4e94\u6708\u4e00\u53f7, May the 1st. \u661f\u671f\u4e00\uff0cMonday. \u661f\u671f\u4e09\uff0cWednesday. \u661f\u671f\u5929, Sunday. All in today&rsquo;s Chinese Studio.\u3000<br \/>  \t***********<\/p>\n<p>  \tY: In Chinese, the date is pronounced by combining the numbers 1 to 31 with \u53f7, which is the spoken form, or \u65e5, the written form. For example you could say \u56db\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e03\u53f7 April the 27 (\u53ef\u4ee5\u7075\u6d3b\u8c03\u6574\u65f6\u95f4). The pronunciation of\u53f7 is similar to that of \u597din the sentence \u6211\u5f88\u597d. The difference lies in the tone. \u53f7 is the fourth tone; and \u597d is the third tone.<br \/>  \tC: \u53f7,&nbsp; (h&agrave;o); \u56db\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e03\u53f7&nbsp; (s&igrave;yu&egrave; &egrave;rsh&iacute;q\u012b h&agrave;o).<br \/>  \tY: I&rsquo;m waiting for\u4e94\u6708\u4e00\u53f7when we&rsquo;ll be on holiday. \u4e94\u6708\u4e00\u53f7, May the first.<br \/>  \tC: \u4e94\u6708\u4e00\u53f7(w\u01d4 yu&egrave; y\u012b h&agrave;o).<br \/>  \tY: \u516d\u6708\u4e00\u53f7, June the first.&nbsp;<br \/>  \tC: \u516d\u6708\u4e00\u53f7(li&ugrave; yu&egrave; y\u012b h&agrave;o). That is national Children&rsquo;s day.<br \/>  \tY:&nbsp; I used to celebrate on that day and did some performances when I was younger.<br \/>  \tC: Too bad I missed it! Yajie, how do you say December 25th, Christmas?<br \/>  \tY: It&rsquo;s \u5341\u4e8c\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e94\u65e5\u3002<br \/>  \tC: \u5341\u4e8c\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e94\u65e5 (sh&iacute; &egrave;r yu&egrave; &egrave;rsh&iacute; w\u01d4 hao). Got it. Thanks. And the New Year, January the first is \u4e00\u6708\u4e00\u53f7 (y\u012b yu&egrave; y\u012b h&agrave;o), right?<br \/>  \tY: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>  \tY: If you refer to a date in the current month, you can delete &ldquo;\u6708&rdquo;, and say &hellip;\u53f7directly. The numbers from 1 to 6 follow&ldquo;\u661f\u671f&rdquo; They are used to say Monday to Saturday.<br \/>  \tC: Then Monday is\u661f\u671f\u4e00(x\u012bngq\u012b y\u012b). Tuesday is\u661f\u671f\u4e8c(x\u012bngq\u012b &egrave;r). Wednesday is\u661f\u671f\u4e09(x\u012bngq\u012b s\u0101n).<br \/>  \tY: Well done! How to say Thursday and Friday&nbsp; in Chinese?<br \/>  \tC: Thursday is\u661f\u671f\u56db(x\u012bngq\u012b s&igrave;), and Friday s\u661f\u671f\u4e94(x\u012bngq\u012b w\u01d4).<br \/>  \tY: What about Saturday?<br \/>  \tC: Well, Saturday is\u661f\u671f\u516d(x\u012bngq\u012b li&ugrave;). And Sunday is \u661f\u671f\u4e03. (x\u012bngq\u012b q\u012b).<br \/>  \tY: No no&hellip; for Sunday it&rsquo;s different. In China people would say \u661f\u671f\u5929.\u5929. You can also say \u661f\u671f\u65e5. Both are okay for saying Sunday in Chinese.<br \/>  \tC: \u661f\u671f\u65e5\u3002<\/p>\n<p>  \t**********Key words reminder<br \/>  \t\u56db\u6708\u4e8c\u5341\u4e94\u53f7 April the 25. \u4e94\u6708\u4e00\u53f7, May the 1st. \u661f\u671f\u4e00\uff0cMonday. \u661f\u671f\u4e09\uff0cWednesday. \u661f\u671f\u5929, Sunday.<br \/>  \t***********<\/p>\n<p>  \tY: My favorite day is \u661f\u671f\u5929, &lsquo;cause we can rest from work.<br \/>  \tCam: My favorite day is xing qi liu because it&rsquo;s the first day of my weekend.<br \/>  \tY: Well, class is over for this time.
