Why don’t you include “我” in this phrase?
Hi all! I’m taking a Chinese for Beginners course on my state’s public school system (reason for the detail is because I’m not sure how realistic the phrasing is, textbook-vs-real-life-wise). To say, “it’s nice to meet you”, you would generally say 很高兴认识你” if I’m not wrong. I’m just wondering why you wouldn’t say, “我很高兴认识你” instead.
Thank you guys!

I don't know the tones but its pronounced, at least from what I hear phonetically, Ting Si Huang.
If someone could show some variations of the how it could be spelled, that would be great. I'm not at all experienced with how the Chinese naming convention works, if there are any rules or whatever.

Studying Chinese 3 Weeks in China
Hi,
I've read a few posts on the subject recommending Taiwan over mainland China etc. However what I'm looking for is an actual reference/recommendations of institutions offering 2 to 3 week courses in Chinese throughout the year, for adults and in China or a Chinese speaking region. Also, the course should be oriented towards adults (I'm 29).
Can you guys give some advice on this?
I want to improve my speaking skills mainly. Studying in Europe is ok, I get enough vocabulary to start with but actual fluency at any level feels a lot harder without actually being there, I think.
Thanks!

通过/经过 as prepositions - Differences?
I'm looking at 通过/经过 in both an old textbook of mine and on the Chinese grammar wiki right now. I think I mostly understand how to use them as verbs, but examples like this are confusing me.
1) 经过自己的努力，她考上了北京大学
2) 通过这个调查，我们发现很多人都支持他
3) 通过他的介绍，我认识了我现在的老板
In terms of structure, Chinese grammar wiki says...
经过 + Event / Time ，⋯⋯
通过 + Agent / Method ，Subj. ⋯⋯
Which sounds simple enough until I look at the examples. In example 1), why is "自己的努力" considered an "event", rather than a "method"? Can I not use 通过 in examples like example 1)?
Also, in example 3), I get why "他的介绍" is considered an "agent/method", but could it not also be considered to be an event too. I mean, the introduction was a situation that took place, right?
I'm a bit confused right now.

Is there a difference between 星期 vs. 礼拜? I've only learned 星期 in all of the textbooks I've used but I also hear a lot of native speakers using 礼拜. Are they interchangeable?

Learning how to write: pros and cons
Hey everyone, I just wanted to set up a discussion around learning Chinese and how to write it. Do you practice handwriting? Did you find useful for remembering characters? Did your study improve after learning how to write?
I've hit a study plateau, and perhaps some new stimuli could break it, but at the same time I never liked writing anything by hand, I am way too slow at it and it looks like something written by a kid
Another reason for me never having tried Mandarin handwriting is that I felt it would be a waste of effort, for something that I would probably never use unless I wanted to show off, since all the communication I'll use will be spoken or electronic.
Do you think it would be a waste of time in my case or would there be practical benefits?

Tips for studying Chinese in the most effective way
I have been studying Chinese in China for two months now and am almost halfway to HSK 5. I've completed HSK 4 in one month and am expecting to complete HSK 5 begin December.
I would like to know what for tips you guys have on studying Chinese the most effective way, especially how to use private tutor lessons. I have 20 private tutor lessons a week and would like to know how I can make the best use of it.
Right now, I'm just going along with the HSK textbook, discussing vocabulary, reading the text with the tutor correcting my pronunciation and discussing the grammar. However, I feel that most of that can be done alone at home, without the help of a tutor.
This will leave more time for other things during my tutor sessions which I can fill up with things I can't do by myself at home, one would be of course, reading a text with a tutor correcting my pronunciation, but what are other tips you guys might have?
HSK 4 was completed in one month by learning the vocabulary through Pleco flashcards extensively.

Chinese language history books
Has anybody read any decent history books written in Chinese that they could recommend? I’m looking for modern Chinese history (1945+) in simplified characters. I’m aware that most of the stuff is going to be in line with the communist party’s version of history, so I’d like to avoid that if possible. If not, it doesn’t matter too much. Thanks

Family address question
(This is hypothetical, BTW -- it's for a story, not real life. But the minute I hit any question about how to address relatives in Mandarin I run to the native speakers. LOL)
So let's say there is a young man who is getting married. His fiancée's father wants him to take their family's surname when he does. He's not unwilling. He has no parents or family to affect anything.
What would the young man call the fiancée's father before their marriage, and then after their marriage? Would there be a point where he might start using a different term of address for the father-in-law (even maybe before marriage) given that he has agreed to take their surname? Would the father-in-law at some point (assuming he likes the young man well enough) say something like "Aw, come on, we're family now, call me XYZ"?

Where can I learn Chinese in a “subject” based format?
Here’s my current situation, my parents immigrated to Canada in 2005 and I had come here at a young age. Due to this, I have lost my ability to write and read in Chinese because I hadn’t continued my practice. What I would like is to find some learning tools in “categories” which mean like, if I say I want to learn words based on Chinese New Year, I would have a list of words to memorize such as mooncake or lantern. Does anyone have a list of words as such in categories? I have studied French at school and found that this is possibly the most effective way of learning a language with additional support on grammatical terms. If anyone can send a list of “categories” and words and additional grammatical or measure words, that’s would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aung San Suu Kyi's translated Chinese name
 |
Why does Aung San Suu Kyi's translated Chinese name have different variations? Is it just due to different countries choosing to translate differently? I understand that Cantonese is predominantly used in Macau and HK so maybe that explains the differences. But for PRC, Taiwan, SG and Malaysia? Im a Singaporean Chinese so I've known her chinese name as 翁山淑枝 all along and I only knew abt the others quite recently. And are there any other translated names of famous people that differ from countries with a Chinese majority? really interested to find out more :) [link] [comments] |

Is there a good word or idiom for self-laughter?
I was talking with a Chinese friend who was trying to translate a Nietzsche quote: "We should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh."
For "laugh", he kept wanting to use words that have a derogatory sense: 嘲笑, 质疑, 嗤之以鼻. None of these quite capture Nietzsche's idea of a bemused and self-accepting laughter that can reflect on previous immaturity.
What do you guys think, any good ideas?

Movie recommendation
There's a Chinese anime-ish movie, one of those short 10-30 min "feature films" if you will, that I'd highly recommend. It's entirely in Chinese. I'm not sure of its name, but here's the link: https://bit.ly/2z4Ul3g
I've seen similar movies like this one in English, but imo in Chinese it gives you good, authentic listening practice. If you need any more recommendations, hmu!

Definitive meaning of 调情
A recent r/funny post spurred a heated debate of the meaning of "调情". The sign clearly believes that the dictionary definition is correct, flirting.
But! Is there a different connotation between the English and Chinese? Is there something lost in translation? Is the concept of 调情 fundamentally different from flirting?
Let's really get down to it and dig deep. Once we agree on an answer (and we will need at least a 1.3 billion consensus) let's petition the dictionaries and varies governing bodies to reference this debate. This is a historical moment! Thank you for being a part of it!!!

I can read! (or: how graded readers are awesome)
I started learning Chinese in February. I'm still very much a beginner in the middle of my second semester, and I don't feel confident writing anything of substance or speaking (although I do practice my tones a lot!). I also still struggle listening (in part due to lackluster teachers...), but I know learning Chinese is going to be a a years-long journey for me.
Because I want to expose myself to the language without overwhelming myself, I looked into graded reading apps like The Chairman's Bao and DuChinese, which offer excellent material for newbies like me. But I wanted to read stories more than news articles, something longer with a narrative, so learned about Mandarin Companion books - but because I was afraid their series is too advanced for me.
So I found this blog post with links to other graded readers! For the past two days I've been reading "Milo yǒu chóu bì bào" by Terry T. Waltz and "谁好看？" by Linda Li & Stephen D. Krashen. I love them!
I feel like I can read Chinese! It's an awesome feeling. Although "谁好看？" is a pretty straightforward story, "Milo" is hilariously absurd in a way that takes me back to times when I was reading Captain Underpants as a young kid. I can already read most of the words in both books, but I'm still learning new ones, and it's still a challenge in terms of reading speed.
What's great is I'm getting a sense of discovery that I rarely get even when reading in English anymore, it's a weirdly awesome experience to struggle reading and discover a narrative in a new language. Needless to say I'm planning on getting more graded readers, and really recommend them for anyone who's a beginner like me.

Final Chinese name feedback!
Hey guys!
After some more thinking with all of your advice in mind, I wanted to check one last time if the Chinese name(s) I now have in mind for myself would be considered decent!
On top of my list would be 汪寧朗, because of it’s meaning (if I’m correct something like: peaceful, bright/clear sea) and how it looks/sounds. I have no idea if 朗 is used often for girls or young people though - 琅 would be fine with me as well! 娜 would also be a backup option (since my given name is Nina), but I would prefer a word that’s a little less ‘cute’. And if 汪 doesn’t look or sound good, I would be fine with 王 or 江 as well (if those would be better).
I also found the character 藍 which has a meaningful meaning for me, but I couldn’t really find a combination that looked good with 寧 (I might be wrong though). I hope it’s okay to ask for your advice on this one more time! For some reason it feels important to me to figure out the right name :).
Thanks in advance!

有没有 vs 有...吗
I see this frequently with 有 as well as with other characters. Sometimes speakers present the positive and negative version of a verb to ask a question. Other times speakers will just add 吗 to the end of the sentence. Is this a matter of preference or is there more to it?

Baidu is an "internet search engine," and it allows you to access all (or almost all) the information you want that is on the internet... here's the secret: it is quite efficient... Instead of, potentially, maybe, asking undetailed-effortless-simple-empty questions (cough cough), perhaps... you could use Baidu to your advantage......maybe?~~~ǝɯ ʇsnɾ s,ʇɐɥʇ ʇnq ʎzɐɹɔ ǝɯ llɐɔ

I'm interested in learning Cantonese, but have no clue where to start.
I'm really interested in the Chinese culture from being in kung fu and learning a lot about it. We do a lot of traditional ceremonies such as lion dance, etc. Cantonese is the language everything is spoken in, like the names of the forms. This made me really want to get more into it and learn it. No one in class can speak or read the language other than saying the few words or phrases passed down to us, just relating to the martial art. I don't have any base to build on, I only speak English.
I don't know how to go about learning a new language. I don't know what to search for, what order to do things in, anything. Do any of you have some advice, or information that could help me figure out what I should do?
