Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! You are in China, finally, after an all-day flight and you are so hungry because the airline you traveled on didn’t serve full meals. Your friend that picks you up from the Chinese airport assures you that supper will be on the table when you get back to his house. “Thank goodness,” you think. Famished, you do not care what his family serves as long as it is edible. When you arrive at his house, his wife quickly takes your luggage and rushes you towards the table, as it took a little longer to get to their house than anticipated. You notice the large amount of Chinese food on the table and your mouth begins to water. It doesn’t take long for you to eat your fill and more. Throughout the meal, you cannot help but tell your friend’s wife that she is an excellent Chinese cook. By the end of the Chinese meal, your friend’s wife replies in Chinese, “That didn’t take you long. I didn’t even have to ask you what you wanted to eat.” Blushing, you reply in Chinese, “I’m sorry, everything was just so good.” Your friend’s wife seems very pleased with the compliment and offers you dessert. Your friend, whom has been quiet thus far, says in Chinese, “You are going to go far here, throwing around compliments like that. Everyone will want to take you home and feed you!”
