Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to say what kind of thing you want 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 say what kind of thing you want 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.
这里真美。那幅画也很漂亮。(Zhèlǐ zhēn měi. Nà fú huà yě hěn piàoliang.)
我妻子也很喜欢那幅画。但是,我想要其他的画。(Wǒ qīzi yě hěn xǐhuān nà fú huà. Dànshì, wǒ xiǎng yào qítā de huà.)
周先生,你想要什么样的画?(Zhōu xiānshēng, nǐ xiǎng yào shénme yàng de huà?)
我想要有意思的画。(Wǒ xiǎng yào yǒuyìsi de huà.)
Let's hear it with the English translation.
这里真美。那幅画也很漂亮。(Zhèlǐ zhēn měi. Nà fú huà yě hěn piàoliang.)
