Welcome to Chinese Studio. I&rsquo;m Yajie.<br \/>  \tCam: Hi, everyone, I&rsquo;m Cam. \u65e9\u4e0a\u597d z\u01ceoshang h\u01ceo, yajie.<br \/>  \tYajie: \u65e9\u4e0a\u597d\uff01Today we&rsquo;ll learn how to ask directions, and look for someone. First let&rsquo;s take a look at key words of the day!<\/p>\n<p>  \t************ Key words of the day<br \/>  \tToday we&rsquo;ll learn a very useful expression of asking directions. \u5728\u54ea\u513f, where? \u8bf7\u95ee\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fPlease may I ask where is my room? \u8bf7\u95ee\u738b\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fPlease may I ask where is Mr. Wang? All in today&rsquo;s Chinese Studio.<br \/>  \t****************<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: When you get lost or want to know the location of a place, you may ask people for directions. So in Chinese you can say &ldquo;\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo; z&agrave;i\uff0cthe forth tone. Here&ldquo;\u5728&rdquo; means &ldquo;to be here or there, or to be in, on, at &rdquo;. We&rsquo;ve already learned\u5728\u524d\u9762, \u5728\u540e\u9762, right?<br \/>  \tCam: Yeah. I still remember\u5728\u524d\u9762\uff0cin front; \u5728\u540e\u9762\uff0cat the back. \u5728\u4e1c\u8fb9\uff0cin the east; \u5728\u897f\u8fb9, in the west.<br \/>  \tYajie: Right. And &ldquo;\u54ea\u513f&rdquo; is a question phrase. It means &ldquo;where&rdquo;. You may find it a little bit difficult to pronounce. Actually it is a &ldquo;n\u01ce&rdquo; third tone plus an &ldquo;er&rdquo;.&nbsp; The pronunciation of &ldquo;er&rdquo; is very similar to that of the English word &ldquo;sister&rdquo;. So together it&rsquo;s &ldquo;n\u01cer&rdquo;.<br \/>  \tCam: n\u01cer.<br \/>  \tYajie: We also say\u90a3\u513f, n&agrave;r, there.<br \/>  \tCam: n&agrave;r.<br \/>  \tYajie: \u8fd9\u513f, &ldquo;zh&egrave;r&rdquo;, here.<br \/>  \tCam: &ldquo;zh&egrave;r&rdquo;<br \/>  \tYajie: \u73a9\u513f,&ldquo;w&aacute;nr&rdquo;, to play.<br \/>  \tCam: \u73a9\u513f,&ldquo;w&aacute;nr&rdquo;. Wow that&rsquo;s funny. I like it.<br \/>  \tYajie: We&rsquo;ll learn more about it later. Back to the sentence.&ldquo;\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo; Where is my room?<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f(w\u01d2 de f&aacute;ngji\u0101n z&agrave;i n\u01cer?)<br \/>  \tYajie: \u6211\u7684, mine. \u7684 suggests that something belongs to somebody. You can also say \u4f60\u7684\uff0cyours.<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211\u7684 (w\u01d2 de), \u4f60\u7684 (n\u01d0 de).<br \/>  \tYajie: \u623f\u95f4 means room.<br \/>  \tCam: \u623f\u95f4 (f&aacute;ngji\u0101n).<br \/>  \tYajie: \u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fit means where is&hellip;?<br \/>  \tCam:&nbsp; \u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f (z&agrave;i n\u01cer)<br \/>  \tYajie: \u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f<br \/>  \tCam: \u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f(w\u01d2 de f&aacute;ngji\u0101n z&agrave;i n\u01cer?)<br \/>  \tYajie: The answer to\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fcould be simplified to a place. That&rsquo;s to say you need not mention the subject of the sentence. For example, if the guest asked a waiter: \u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fThe waiter could simply answer: \u5728\u524d\u9762\u3002<br \/>  \tCam: Ok. I see. That&rsquo;s easy. \u5728\u524d\u9762.<br \/>  \tYajie: To put it politely we always add &ldquo;\u8bf7\u95ee&rdquo; before the sentence. &ldquo;q\u01d0ng&rdquo; third tone means &ldquo;please&rdquo;, and &ldquo;w&egrave;n &rdquo; forth tone. The meaning is &ldquo;to ask&rdquo;. &ldquo;\u8bf7\u95ee&rdquo; means &ldquo;Please may I ask&hellip;?&rdquo;<br \/>  \tCam: q\u01d0ng w&egrave;n.<br \/>  \tYajie: So we say &ldquo;\u8bf7\u95ee\uff0c\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo;<br \/>  \tCam: \u8bf7\u95ee\uff0c\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f (q\u01d0ng w&egrave;n w\u01d2 de f&aacute;ngji\u0101n z&agrave;i n\u01cer?)<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: Besides asking directions we can also use &ldquo;\u5728\u54ea\u513f&rdquo; for looking for someone. You can ask &ldquo;Someone\u5728\u54ea\u513f? &rdquo; For example: \u8bf7\u95ee\u738b\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fWhere is Mr. Wang?<br \/>  \tCam: \u8bf7\u95ee\u738b\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f(q\u01d0ng w&egrave;n W\u01ceng L\u01ceosh\u012b z&agrave;i n\u01cer?)<br \/>  \tYajie: \u738bis a surname; and \u8001\u5e08means teacher. Together\u738b\u8001\u5e08means Mr. Wang.<br \/>  \tCam: \u738b\u8001\u5e08.<br \/>  \tYajie: Or \u8bf7\u95ee\u670d\u52a1\u5458\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1fWhere is the waiter?<br \/>  \tCam: \u8bf7\u95ee\u670d\u52a1\u5458\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f(q\u01d0ng w&egrave;n f&uacute;w&ugrave;yu&aacute;n z&agrave;i n\u01cer?)<br \/>  \tYajie: \u670d\u52a1\u5458, the waiter.<br \/>  \tCam: \u670d\u52a1\u5458(f&uacute;w&ugrave;yu&aacute;n)<\/p>\n<p>  \t*************Key words reminder<br \/>  \t\u5728\u54ea\u513fcan be used both to ask directions and look for people. You can say &ldquo;\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo; &ldquo;\u738b\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo;, or in a polite way,&ldquo;\u8bf7\u95ee\u6211\u7684\u623f\u95f4\u5728\u54ea\u513f?&rdquo;&ldquo;\u8bf7\u95ee\u738b\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u54ea\u513f\uff1f&rdquo;<br \/>  \t************<\/p>\n<p>  \tYajie: OK, that&rsquo;s it for today.
