All in today&rsquo;s Chinese Studio.<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam:&nbsp; Yajie, I am in dire need of a new jacket. When I go into a shop, how do I say that to a sales person?<br \/>  \tYJ: Well, it is wise to buy a cheap jacket now. You can say &ldquo;\u6211\u60f3\u4e70\u4e00\u4ef6\u5939\u514b\u3002(Wo3 xiang3 mai3 yi2 jian4 jia1ke4)&rdquo;<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211\u60f3\u4e70\u4e00\u4ef6\u5939\u514b\u3002(Wo3 xiang3 mai3 yi2 jian4 jia1ke4)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u6211 (Wo3), I.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211 (Wo3)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u60f3,x-i-a-n-g, want to.<br \/>  \tCam: \u60f3 (xiang3).&nbsp;<br \/>  \tYJ: \u4e70 (mai3), mai, the third tone.<br \/>  \tCam: \u4e70 (mai3). And that means &ldquo;to buy&rdquo;, right?<br \/>  \tYJ: Right. \u4e70 (mai3), to buy. And \u5356(mai4), the fourth tone, means to sell.<br \/>  \tCam: That&#39;s tricky,\u5356(mai4), to sell.<br \/>  \tYJ: \u4e00(yi2) means one. \u4ef6(jian4) is the measure word for clothes.<br \/>  \tCam: \u4e00\u4ef6(yi2 jian4)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u5939\u514b (jia1ke4) means jacket.<br \/>  \tCam: \u5939\u514b (jia1ke4)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u6211\u60f3\u4e70\u4e00\u4ef6\u5939\u514b\u3002(Wo3 xiang3 mai3 yi2 jian4 jia1ke4) I am looking for a jacket.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211\u60f3\u4e70\u4e00\u4ef6\u5939\u514b\u3002(Wo3 xiang3 mai3 yi2 jian4 jia1ke4).<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation1:<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam: Yajie, how do you say &ldquo;What&rsquo;s your size&rdquo; in Chinese?<br \/>  \tYJ: It&rsquo;s \u60a8\u7a7f\u591a\u5927\u7684\uff1f\uff08nin2 chuan1 duo1 da4 de?\uff09<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8\u7a7f\u591a\u5927\u7684\uff1f\uff08nin2 chuan1 duo1 da4 de?\uff09.<br \/>  \tYJ: \u60a8 (nin2), you<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8 (nin2)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u7a7f (chuan1), c-h-u-a-n, the first tone, means to wear.<br \/>  \tCam: \u7a7f (chuan1)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u591a\u5927(duo1 da4). Literally it means how large.<br \/>  \tCam: \u591a\u5927(duo1 da4). \u5927(da4) means large, and \u5c0f(xiao3) means small. They are opposite, right?<br \/>  \tYJ: Yes. \u60a8\u7a7f\u591a\u5927\u7684\uff1f\uff08nin2 chuan1 duo1 da4 de?\uff09. What&rsquo;s your size?<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8\u7a7f\u591a\u5927\u7684\uff1f\uff08nin2 chuan1 duo1 da4 de?\uff09<br \/>  \tYJ: Then you can tell the seller your size.<br \/>  \tCam: All right. How do I say that?<br \/>  \tYJ: In China, we usually use small, medium, large, and extra large.<br \/>  \tCam: I see. We just learned xiao is small, da is large, right?<br \/>  \tYJ: Right, and medium is zhong1, the first tone.<br \/>  \tCam: zhong.<br \/>  \tYJ: extra large is jia da<br \/>  \tCam: jia da. I think jia da size will fit me well! Yajie, what&rsquo;s the Chinese for size.<br \/>  \tYJ: it&rsquo;s hao. So you just need to say small, medium, or large before hao. For example, small size would be xiao hao.<br \/>  \tCam: the medum would be zhong hao. And large would be da hao. Extra-large, jia da hao.<br \/>  \tYJ: Very good.<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation2:<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam: Oh, no, Yajie, even though this is an extra large jacket,&nbsp; I think it is a bit too small for me.<br \/>  \tYJ: Oh, Cam, you have to lose your beer belly. You can say to sales person, &ldquo;\u592a\u5c0f\u4e86(Tai4 xiao3 le)&rdquo;, &ldquo;\u592a&rdquo; means very or extremely.<br \/>  \tCam: \u592a\uff08tai4)<br \/>  \tYJ: \u592a\u5c0f\u4e86<br \/>  \tCam: \u592a\u5c0f\u4e86<br \/>  \tYJ: Now Cam, you may guess what&#39;s the Chinese for &quot;too large&quot;.<br \/>  \tCam: Well,&nbsp; I would say it&#39;s&nbsp; \u592a\u5927\u4e86.<br \/>  \tYJ: Right. \u592a\u5927\u4e86(tai4 da4 le). It&rsquo;s too large.<br \/>  \tCam: \u592a\u5927\u4e86(tai4 da4 le)<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation3:<\/p>\n<p>  \tCam:&nbsp; Well, we&rsquo;ve run out of time.&nbsp; But before we go, we can&rsquo;t forget the question of the day.<br \/>  \tYJ: Right.&nbsp; How do you say &ldquo;It&rsquo;s too big&rdquo; in Chinese?<br \/>  \tCam:&nbsp; Your answer can come&nbsp; to Chinese@crifm.com.
