A short dialogue about a couple who broke up a long time ago, only to meet again. The dialogue is simple but there are some key words we can learn from it that are very useful to beginners. Intermediate readers might also find a few of the characters useful and they may be unknown to beginners so remember that you can mouseover any Chinese character to find the meaning and the pinyin.

Key Words

– He or his. 那是书包 meaning “That is his book bag”.

– She or her. 那是书包 meaning “That is her book bag”. It is important to note that the pronunciation of and is the same and the only difference is in writing.

– Ask. 问题 meaning “Ask me a question”. This is a very common character in the Chinese language.
