How I should call chinese girl?
Hello, guys. Happy Holydays! I need your help. I've been traveling. I met a lot of people around the world. And the last week I've been in China. I've been there only for couple of days but I was really impressed. And I met one girl there... She works in a book store in the Canton and we made friends. Before I had left I asked her Facebook account or e-mail for keeping in touch but she doesn't have it instead she's given me a phone number. It's cool but there's one problem: I don't know Chinese and she can't speak English. I'm going to SMS her because I promised anyway. So my question is how I should call chinese girl to be polite? Or may be calling her by name is good option? Her name is Xu Xiang. Thank you guys.

Answer

I'm glad to see that Chinese girls are popular :p  You certainly can call her by name. For the first time, you can call her full name to make sure you get the right number. After that you may call her [a:]+given name, like [a:]xiang if she doesn't mind. Cantonese are used to doing that. Good luck!
