- It is supposed to be "请给我看一下您的护照“ Here 请=please, it's very important to add this word or it may sound aggressive and rude. By the way, the real situational dialogue, we say “ 您好,请出示您的护照。” Here, 出示=show, which sounds more polite since it's a formal expression. 给我......= give ......to me, which sounds like an order.0 votedOctober 29, 20180
- Well, first, strictly speaking, mandarin Chineses is not a "dialect". It's just like RP (Received pronunciation) in English or sort of "standard English". It is built on our north dialect (Chinese) and works as our offical language ("standard Chinese"). It is not only popular but an requirement for every Chinese people to learn, so as a beginner, you'd better choose the mandarin Chinese,in terms of accent (pronunciation, tone, grammar etc.). Then, when it comes to the "version " of the Chinese characters. There is no doubt that the traditional characters are easier to understand and memorize, because, compared with the simplified Chinese characters used in the mainland, they represent more rules of their creation. Thus, you may choose any "version" you want. However, if you didn't learn any simplified characters at all, you would be in trouble with communication when you travel in the mainland, China.0 votedOctober 24, 20182
- Well,in fact, there are several different rules to form a Chinese Character. It can be easier for learners to memorize characters if they know how the exact "rule" used to create them. For instance, "香“ ,”an associative compound" character, the top part "禾“ means grain seedings, and the lower part "曰” whose original shape is "日“, refers to the sun. Combined together, the whole character "香“ means (good)incense / fragrant, because people think that the grain seedings would give off a pleasant smell when bathed in the sunlight.0 votedOctober 24, 20180
