But how do you say that in Chinese? <br \/>  YJ: Well, you can say &ldquo;\u80fd\u8df3\u652f\u821e\u5417\uff1f(neng2 tiao4 zhi1 wu3 ma?)&rdquo; <br \/>  James: \u80fd\u8df3\u652f\u821e\u5417\uff1f(neng2 tiao4 zhi1 wu3 ma?) <br \/>  YJ: \u80fd (neng2) means can or could. <br \/>  James: \u80fd (neng2)<br \/>  YJ: \u8df3\u821e (tiao4 wu3), to dance, the fourth tone and the third tone. <br \/>  James: \u8df3\u821e (tiao4 wu3). But you said just now \u8df3\u652f\u821e(tiao4 zhi1 wu3). What does that mean?<br \/>  YJ:  Good question, James. \u652f (zhi1), z-h-i, the third tone. It&rsquo;s a measure  word. You can use it to modify a song. For example, you can say &ldquo;\u4e00\u652f\u6b4c(yi4  zhi1 ge1)&rdquo;, which means a song. <br \/>  James: \u4e00\u652f\u6b4c(yi4 zhi1 ge1). I see. So\u652f(zhi1) can also modify \u821e (wu3), dance. Right? <br \/>  YJ: Yes. So you can say \u8df3\u652f\u821e(tiao4 zhi1 wu3), to have a dance with me.<br \/>  James: \u8df3\u652f\u821e(tiao4 zhi1 wu3), to dance. <br \/>  YJ: It&rsquo;s also ok to say \u8df3\u4e2a\u821e(tiao4 ge4 wu3), with the measure word &ldquo;\u4e2a(ge4)&rdquo;, the four tone. <br \/>  James: \u8df3\u4e2a\u821e(tiao4 ge41 wu3) <br \/>  YJ: Right.
