Chinese Mandarin - 2nd Session (beginners) I started this session by learning some phrases and vocabulary related to the word "electricity" (diàn): diàn nǎo = computer, dian hua = telephone. Vocabulary: dianziyoujian = email faduanxin = text faxinxi = message mingpian = business card dizhi = address Phrases: ni de shou ji hao shi duo shao? = What's your mobile phone number? A gei B fa dianzi you jian = A sends and email to B ni chang chang gei ni de peng you da dian hua ma? = Do you often make phone calls to your friends? I went on learning some vocabulary related to family: dushengzi = only child haizi = child, kid erzi = son nver = daughter jiejie = big sister gege = big brother yeye = my father's father nainai = my mother's father waigong = my father's mother waipo = my mother's mother ayi = aunt shushu = uncle laogong = husband laopo = wife I also learned that I can address people who are around my own age by calling them "ayi" and "shushu," whereas I should address people who are much older than me in a different way.
