NOTES:
1. The measure word “shuāng (双／雙)” is used with objects that come in pairs, such as
socks [yì shuāng wà zi (一双袜子／一雙襪子)], shoes [liǎng shuāng xié (两双鞋／兩
雙鞋)], and chopsticks [sān shuāng kuài zi (三双筷子／三雙筷子)]. You can also
refer to a pair of hands (shǒu 手) or eyes (yǎn jing 眼睛) using “shuāng (双／雙)”. Be
careful though, because “shuāng” doesn’t work with all words that are described as a
“pair” in English. The words “pants” and “glasses”, for example, take other measure
words.
A couple of other common words that incorporate “shuāng” are the word for “twins”
and the Chinese concept of “double happiness”, which refers to the joy of marriage.
“Twins” is “shuāng bāo tāi (双胞胎／雙胞胎)”, literally referring to double fetuses in
the womb, and “double happiness” is “shuāng xǐ (囍)”, which is written with two “xǐ (
喜)” as in “xǐ huān (喜欢／喜歡)”, side-by-side.
2. Here, our host places the “le (了)” after the verb, rather than at the end of the
sentence, as she did in the first two interviews. Both structures are okay, and it
doesn’t change the meaning.
What did you buy?
What did you buy?
Nǐ mǎi shén me
le?
Nǐ mǎi

shén me?
�½�买什么了？／�½�買甚麼了？
�½�买了什么？／�½�買了甚麼？
3. If you have already made your way to
Conversational Chinese Lesson 115,
then you
will be familiar with the way to express “anything” in Chinese. If you’re not there yet,
then don’t worry too much about it now. You’ll learn about it in detail when you get to
lesson 115.
4. The host could have also asked the question, “What did you have for breakfast
today?” in this way: “Nǐ jīn tiān chī le shénme zǎo fàn? (�½�今天吃了什么早饭？／�½�今
天吃了甚麼早飯？)”. Instead, she chose to make the word “breakfast” the topic of
the sentence. It’s very common in Chinese to speak in what is called a “topic-
comment” manner. Let’s take a detailed look at how the host phrased her question:
Nǐ
�½�
�½�

comment
Without getting into too much grammatical detail, let’s take a look at a few more
examples of this type of sentence structure so you can start to get the feel for it.
Notice that there is some flexibility in where the topic is placed within the sentence,
and sometimes the comment portion can include the subject:
“I’ve already read that book.”
Wǒ
我

5. Yum! There’s nothing like authentic, home-style Chinese cooking, and the two
dishes mentioned here are great examples of Chinese “comfort food” that can be
found on restaurant menus and dining tables across the country. Many different
foods, especially meat, can be cooked in the “hóng shāo (红烧／紅燒)” style, which
involves slowly braising the food in a wok, using soy sauce with a combination of
different spices, until the food will practically melt in your mouth. Hěn hǎo chī! 很�½
吃！
