Cam: Yajie, I have been busy studying all week for this week’s review lesson.  Welcome to Chinese Studio everyone.  I’m Cam.

Cam: \u8fd8\u4e0d\u9519(Hai2 bu2 cuo4).<\/p>\n

Conversation1:<\/p>\n

Cam: The most im<\/em>portant thing we learned in the past week is how to describe ‘there is something in someplace.’
YJ: We learned two ways: one with the verb \u6709(you3) which originally means ‘to have’, the other with the verb \u662f(shi4) which means ‘to be’. For instance: \u51b0\u7bb1\u91cc\u6709\u4ec0\u4e48\uff1fWhat’s in the refrigerator? \u51b0\u7bb1(Bing1 Xiang1), both in the first tone, means refrigerator. \u91cc means inside. \u51b0\u7bb1\u91cc(Bing1 Xiang1 li3), in the refrigerator. 
Cam: \u51b0\u7bb1\u91cc(Bing1 Xiang1 li3) describes a location. And \u6709\u4ec0\u4e48(you3 shen2 me) means ‘have what’.
YJ: Together it’s:  \u51b0\u7bb1\u91cc\u6709\u4ec0\u4e48 (Bing1 Xiang1 li3 you3 shen2 me)? What’s in the fridge\uff1f
Cam: Bing1 Xiang1 li3 you3 shen2 me? Actually we can get the answer if we use words like Coca Cola and orange juice to replac \u4ec0\u4e48(shen2 me).
YJ: So it becomes\u51b0\u7bb1\u91cc\u6709\u53ef\u4e50\u548c\u6a59\u6c41(Bing1xiang1 li3 you3 ke3le4 he2 cheng2zhi1). There is Coca Cola and orange juice in the refrigerator. \u53ef\u4e50, also known as \u53ef\u53e3\u53ef\u4e50, is the Chinese for Coca Cola.
Cam: Orange juice is \u6a59\u6c41(cheng2 zhi1). The whole sentence: Bing1xiang1 li3 you3 ke3le4 he2 cheng2zhi1. There is Coca Cola and orange juice in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Conversation2:<\/p>\n

YJ: Now let’s review the second way to express “there is something in some place”. Remember, the key is the verb \u662f which means ‘to be’. For instance: What’s the Chinese for ‘There is a bedroom next to the living room”?
Cam: Next is \u9694\u58c1(ge2 bi4).And the living room is \u5ba2\u5385(ke4 ting1)\u3002So “next to the living room” would be \u5ba2\u5385\u9694\u58c1(ke4 ting1 ge2 bi4).
YJ: Right. And a hint: this location plus \u662f(shi4), then plus bedroom, \u5367\u5ba4(wo4 shi4), would be the answer.
Cam: So it’s \u5ba2\u5385\u9694\u58c1\u662f\u5367\u5ba4\u3002(ke4 ting1 ge2 bi4 shi4 wo4shi4). there is a bedroom next door to the living room.
YJ: Right. \u5ba2\u5385\u9694\u58c1\u662f\u5367\u5ba4\u3002(ke4 ting1 ge2 bi4 shi4 wo4shi4). One more example: \u5367\u5ba4\u5bf9\u9762\u662f\u6d17\u624b\u95f4. \u6d17\u624b\u95f4(xi3 shou3 jian1) means washroom. And \u5bf9\u9762(dui4 mian4) means to the opposite. \u5367\u5ba4\u5bf9\u9762(wo4 shi4 dui4 mian4), to the opposite of the bedroom
Cam: So the whole sentence starts with the location, followed by the verb \u662f(shi4) and xi3 shou3 jian1, washroom. \u5367\u5ba4\u5bf9\u9762\u662f\u6d17\u624b\u95f4wo4 shi4 dui4 mian4 shi4 xi3 shou3 jian1. To the opposite of the bedroom is a washroom.<\/p>\n

Conversation3<\/p>\n

YJ: Well, it’s time to wind up this review lesson. Remember, we announced three questions in the past week. First, can you say ‘There is orange juice in the refrigerator’ in Chinese? Second, what’s the Chinese for ‘There are photographs of my whole family’. And finally, how do you say “the kitchen is next to the living room” in Chinese.<\/p><\/div>\n
