Something like &#8230;&#8230;What is that?<br \/>  \tYJ: Usually it&rsquo;s\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2), Welcome.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2).<br \/>  \tYJ: \u6b22\u8fce, h-u-a-n, y-i-n-g, the first tone, and the second tone.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6b22\u8fce. Right?<br \/>  \tYJ: Yes. And \u5149\u4e34 shows the respect for the consumers. \u5149\u4e34, g-u-a&mdash;n-g, l-i-n.<br \/>  \tCam: \u5149\u4e34 (guang1lin2) also the first tone, and the second tone..<br \/>  \tYJ:\u3000\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2), Welcome.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2).<br \/>  \tYJ: You may also hear\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2) when entering a department store and so on.<br \/>  \tCam: Ok, I understand this now.&nbsp;\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2) , Welcome.<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation1:<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: After you enter the restaurant, a waiter or waitress will lead you to a table. Generally speaking, if there are more than four people, you will be taken to a large table.<br \/>  \tCam: Ok. I see. Then he or say will say\u8bf7\u5750(qing3 zuo4)\u3002Please be seated. Right?<br \/>  \tYJ: Yes. \u8bf7(qing3) means please. And \u5750(zuo4)&nbsp;means to sit down. , the fourth tone.<br \/>  \tCam: \u5750 (zuo4), to sit down. And &ldquo;Please be seated&rdquo; then \u8bf7\u5750(qing3 zuo4).<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation2:<br \/>  \t&nbsp;<br \/>  \tYJ: Then you will be asked to order dishes. You may hear this: \u60a8\u5403\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 chi1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1fWhat would you like to eat?<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8\u5403\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 chi1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1f<br \/>  \tYJ: \u60a8 (nin2)is&nbsp;the polite form of \u4f60(ni3).<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8 (nin2).<br \/>  \tYJ: And \u5403, c-h-i, the first tone, means to eat.<br \/>  \tCam: \u5403(chi1).<br \/>  \tYJ: \u5403\u70b9\u513f(chi1 dianr3), to eat a little bit. Here\u70b9\u513f( dianr3) is short for \u4e00\u70b9\u513f ( y&igrave; dianr3)\uff0cwhich means a little bit. \u5403\u70b9\u513f(chi1 dianr3).<br \/>  \tCam: \u5403\u70b9\u513f(chi1 dianr3).But that means I just have to eat just a little bit?<br \/>  \tYJ: Well here&#39;s the thing that I&rsquo;d like to point out. Although here the waiter or waitress says \u5403\u70b9\u513f (chi1 dianr3), to eat a little bit, actually,&nbsp;it doesn&rsquo;t mean you could order only a little bit. Instead you can order anything that you want.<br \/>  \tCam: OK. But sometimes I hear waitress say &ldquo;\u60a8\u5403\u4ec0\u4e48\uff1f&rdquo; There is no \u70b9\u513f &ldquo;dianr3&rdquo;.<br \/>  \tYJ: It&rsquo;s all right to say\u60a8\u5403\u4ec0\u4e48\uff1fBut this&nbsp;sounds too direct and a little bit imprudent. So usually waitresses would say\u60a8\u5403\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 chi1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1f<br \/>  \tCam: \u60a8\u5403\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 chi1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1f<br \/>  \tYJ: Next comes to \u559d(he1) which&nbsp;means to drink. H-e, the first tone.<br \/>  \tCam: \u559d(he). Now I know how they say &ldquo;What would you like to drink?&rdquo;. It would be \u60a8\u559d\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 he1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1f<br \/>  \tYJ: Exactly. \u60a8\u559d\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 he1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1fWhat would you like to drink?<\/p>\n<p>  \tConversation3:<\/p>\n<p>  \tKey Words Reminder<br \/>  \t\u6b22\u8fce\u5149\u4e34(huan1ying2 guang1lin2)\u3002Welcome.&nbsp;\u8bf7\u5750(qing3 zuo4)\u3002Please be seated. \u5403, to eat. \u60a8\u5403\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 chi1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1f What would you like to eat? \u559d, to drink. \u60a8\u559d\u70b9\u513f\u4ec0\u4e48(nin2 he1 dianr3 shenme2)\uff1fWhat would you like to drink?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  \tYJ: So let&rsquo;s go eat Cam&hellip; all this talk of food is making me hungry.<br \/>  \tCam:&nbsp;No kidding.Let&#39;s&nbsp;lead into our question of the day.&nbsp; How do you say &ldquo;What would you like to eat&rdquo; in Chinese?
