Da4 jia1 hao3, Wo3 shi4 Cam.<br \/>  \tYJ: Hi,everyone, wo3 shi4 YJ. It&rsquo;s weekend again. Now it&#39;s time for us to review,&nbsp; some useful expressions of duration we learned this past week. Let&rsquo;s hear Sentences in the Week.<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>Sentences in the Week<\/strong><br \/>  \t\u6211\u5b66\u6c49\u8bed\u5df2\u7ecf\u4e00\u5e74\u4e86\u3002I&rsquo;ve been studying Chinese already for a year. \u5750\u98de\u673a\u898113\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6. It&rsquo;ll take 13 hours by plane.<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: In the past week, we learned some phrases of duration. For example: yi4 nian2 means one year. We just need to put the number in front of nian2, year.<br \/>  \tCam: And this rule can also be applied on tian1 which means day, and fen1 zhong1, minute. For example: seven days is\u4e03\u5929(qi1 tian1) , five minutes is\u4e94\u5206\u949f(wu3 fen1 zhong1).<br \/>  \tYJ: In other occasions with yue4, month and xiao3 shi2, hour, we need to add &lsquo;ge4&rsquo;, the most popular measure word, after the number. For instance: \u4e00\u4e2a\u6708(yi2 ge4 yue4) means one month. And 13\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6(shi2 san1 ge4 xiao3 shi2) means 13 hours.<br \/>  \tCam: YJ, you know, as a foreigner who is studying Chinese, now I know the Chinese for this question: &lsquo;How long have you been studying Chinese&rsquo;.<br \/>  \tYJ: &lsquo;Ni3 xue2 han4 yu3 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1 le?&rsquo; ni3 means you. Xue2 means to study. Han4 yu3 means Chinese language. duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1 means how long. And le in the end indicates the completion of an action.<br \/>  \tCam: So together it&rsquo;s: ni3 xue2 han4 yu3 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1 le? How long have you been studying Chinese? And YJ , to answer this question &quot; I&rsquo;ve been studying Chinese&nbsp; for a year already&quot;.<br \/>  \tYJ: Wo3 xue2 han4 yu3 yi3 jing1 yi4 nian2 le\u3002\u5df2\u7ecf(yi3 jing1) means already.<br \/>  \tCam: Wo3 xue2 han4 yu3 yi3 jing1 yi4 nian2 le\u3002<br \/>  \tYJ: Another adverb \u624d(cai2), which means &lsquo;only&rsquo;, also works in this case. But it can&rsquo;t be used together with the ending particle word le. So the whole sentence is: Wo3 xue2 han4 yu3 cai2 yi4 nian2\u3002<br \/>  \tCam: Wo3 xue2 han4 yu3 cai2 yi4 nian2\u3002I&rsquo;ve been studying Chinese for only a year.<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation1:<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: Cam, have you been asked this question &#8211; how long have you been in Beijing?<br \/>  \tCam: I get that one all the time. So how do you say that in Chinese?<br \/>  \tYJ: &ldquo;Ni3 lai2 bei3 jing1 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1 le&rdquo;\uff1f<br \/>  \tCam: &ldquo;Ni3 lai2 bei3 jing1 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1 le&rdquo;\uff1fHow long have you been in Beijing?<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation2:<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: Since my friend is leaving for Canada next week, so I&rsquo;d like to know\u53bb\u52a0\u62ff\u5927\u8981\u591a\u957f\u65f6\u95f4\uff08qu1 jia1 na2 da4 yao4 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1\uff09?<br \/>  \tCam: Remember, qu1 means to go. jia1 na2 da4 is Canada.<br \/>  \tYJ: And \u8981, fourth tone, means &lsquo;need&rsquo;. duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1,&nbsp; means &lsquo;how long&rsquo;. Together, qu1 jia1 na2 da4 yao4 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1? How long will it take to get to Canada?<br \/>  \tCam: qu1 jia1 na2 da4 yao4 duo1 chang2 shi2 jian1? It&rsquo;ll take 13 hours by plane. So YJ, what&rsquo;s the Chinese for it again?<br \/>  \tYJ: It would be &lsquo;\u5750\u98de\u673a\u898113\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6(zuo4 fei1 ji1 yao4 shi2 san1 ge4 xiao3 shi2)&rdquo;. fei1 ji1 means &lsquo;plane&rsquo;. zuo4 fei1 ji1 means to take a plane.<br \/>  \tCam: And remember, shi san means thirteen. xiao3 shi2 means hour. So &ldquo;shi2 san1 ge4 xiao3 shi2&rdquo; means thirteen hours.<br \/>  \tYJ: The whole sentence would be \u5750\u98de\u673a\u898113\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6(zuo4 fei1 ji1 yao4 shi2 san1 ge4 xiao3 shi2). It&rsquo;ll take 13 hours by plane.<br \/>  \tCam: zuo4 fei1 ji1 yao4 shi2 san1 ge4 xiao3 shi4.<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation3:<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: Well, time to wind up this review lesson. Now here comes our question of the day: What&rsquo;s the Chinese for &ldquo;How long will it take to get to China?&rdquo;<br \/>  \tCam: Email your answer to Chinese@crifm.com.
