M: \u90a3\u53ea\u5c0f\u9e1f\u770b\u5230\u4e86\u4e00\u5757\u9762\u5305kàndàole, saw, yí kuài miànb\u0101o, \u4e00\u5757, YI KUAI, yíkuài, ‘a piece’ or ‘a slice’. And \u9762\u5305MIAN BAO miànb\u0101o, is ‘bread’ , miànb\u0101o. A slice of bread, yí kuài miànb\u0101o.<\/p>\n

M: Back to our little bird, xi\u01ceoni\u01ceo. Our xi\u01ceoni\u01ceo thought, \u90a3\u5757\u9762\u5305\u4e00\u5b9a\u5f88\u597d\u5403\u3002Yídìng, expressing certainty, here means ‘must, must be’.<\/p>\n

M: The h\u01ceo in front of a verb is very common. Another example is \u597d\u542c h\u01ceo t\u012bng ‘sounds good’ we use it when talking a<\/em>bout music, for example, \u90a3\u5f88\u597d\u542c that sounds very good. nà h\u011bnh\u011bot\u012bng<\/p>\n

S: And\u597d\u770b h\u01ceo kàn. Guess what it means? Duìle. Good to look at, h\u01ceo kàn, h\u01ceo kàn. So say, he\/or she is good looking. Méi cuò. \u4ed6\u597d\u770b t\u0101h\u01ceo kàn.<\/p>\n
