Do you know how to talk about making and discussing plans in Chinese?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Fangfang, and this is Three Step Chinese by ChineseClass101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk about making and discussing plans in Chinese through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
星期六你有什么计划吗?(Xīngqī liù nǐ yǒu shénme jìhuà ma?)
没有,我星期六有空。(Méiyǒu, wǒ xīngqī liù yǒu kòng.)
那,我要去健身房锻炼,你要去吗?(Nà, wǒ yào qù jiànshēnfáng duànliàn, nǐ yào qù ma?)
好啊,我也要去。(Hǎo a, wǒ yě yào qù.)
晚上,我还要跟几个朋友在酒吧喝酒。你要不要也一起来?(Wǎnshàng, wǒ hái yào gēn jǐ gè péngyǒu zài jiǔbā hējiǔ. Nǐ yào bù yào yě yīqǐ lái?)
好的,我要去。(Hǎo de, wǒ yào qù.)
Let's hear it with the English translation.
星期六你有什么计划吗?(Xīngqī liù nǐ yǒu shénme jìhuà ma?)
"Do you have any plans for Saturday?"
没有,我星期六有空。(Méiyǒu, wǒ xīngqī liù yǒu kòng.)
"No, I'm free on Saturday."
那,我要去健身房锻炼,你要去吗?(Nà, wǒ yào qù jiànshēnfáng duànliàn, nǐ yào qù ma?)
"Then, I'm going to the gym to work out. Do you want to go?"
好啊,我也要去。(Hǎo a, wǒ yě yào qù.)
"Sure, I want to go too."
Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
晚上,我还要跟几个朋友在酒吧喝酒。你要不要也一起来?(Wǎnshàng, wǒ hái yào gēn jǐ gè péngyǒu zài jiǔbā hējiǔ. Nǐ yào bù yào yě yīqǐ lái?)
"In the evening, I'm also going to drink with a few friends at a bar. Do you want to come too?"
好的,我要去。(Hǎo de, wǒ yào qù.)
"Okay, I'll go."
