| Do you know how to describe something as good or bad 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 describe something in terms of its good or bad qualities 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. |
| 我喜欢便宜一点的。你推荐哪个电脑？(Wǒ xǐhuān piányí yìdiǎn de. Nǐ tuījiàn nǎge diànnǎo?) |
| 那个怎么样？(Nàgè zěnme yàng?) |
| 那个太贵了。那个电脑快吗？(Nàgè tài guìle. Nàgè diànnǎo kuài ma?) |
| 这个电脑不如那个快，有点慢。(Zhège diànnǎo bùrú nàgè kuài, yǒudiǎn màn.) |
| 那我买这个，这个电脑又快又轻，还很便宜。(Nà wǒ mǎi zhège, zhège diànnǎo yòu kuài yòu qīng, hái hěn piányí.) |
| Let's hear it with the English translation. |
| 我喜欢便宜一点的。你推荐哪个电脑？(Wǒ xǐhuān piányí yìdiǎn de. Nǐ tuījiàn nǎge diànnǎo?) |
| "I like the cheaper one. Which computer do you recommend?" |
| 那个怎么样？(Nàgè zěnme yàng?) |
| "How about that one?" |
| Pay attention to the next paragraph. The first sentence follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson. |
| 那个太贵了。那个电脑快吗？(Nàgè tài guìle. Nàgè diànnǎo kuài ma?) |
| "That one is too expensive. Is that computer fast?" |
| 这个电脑不如那个快，有点慢。(Zhège diànnǎo bùrú nàgè kuài, yǒudiǎn màn.) |
| "This computer is not as fast as that one — it's a bit slow." |
| 那我买这个，这个电脑又快又轻，还很便宜。(Nà wǒ mǎi zhège, zhège diànnǎo yòu kuài yòu qīng, hái hěn piányí.) |
| "Then I'll buy this one — it's fast, light, and also very cheap." |
