HashiriKata Posted March 17, 2007 at 08:52 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 at 08:52 AM Could Chinese speakers please have a look at the following and see if any of the replies (with 也是) are not appropriate? Please give suggestions for such cases. 周末快乐! 谢谢，你也是！ 很高兴见到你！ 我也是。 我喜欢听爵士音乐。 我也是。 中国人很喜欢养鱼。 日本人也是。 你做得很好。 你也是 我天天都锻炼身体 我也是。 那儿冬天很冷。 这儿也是。 祝你们周末快乐!

Koneko Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:15 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:15 AM 周末快乐!谢谢，你也是！ Accepted but I'd rather reply with "谢谢，你也一样！" Otherwise fine. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:26 AM Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:26 AM Thanks for a very quick reply, Koneko! I'm aware that there are alternative replies but I want to make sure that every 也是 I use is either correct or acceptable. So, can you confirm that some Chinese speakers do use " 你也是！" in replying to "周末快乐!" ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:51 PM Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 at 09:51 PM Hmm... Sometimes I hear people say 你也是 But most of the times, they reply with 你也一样 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 18, 2007 at 12:52 AM Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 at 12:52 AM For the greetings, I agree with koneko. But I suppose we hardly say 周末快樂 anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted March 18, 2007 at 08:49 AM Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 at 08:49 AM Thank you! But I suppose we hardly say 周末快樂 anyways. Would "周末愉快！" be any better ? (granted that saying this kind of nicety is more of an English thing, nevertheless) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted March 18, 2007 at 09:41 AM Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 at 09:41 AM I would say they are almost the same. The difference is, probably, like comparing 蔷薇 and 玫瑰?! Personal preferences? Anyway, you may find this thread useful on 快乐, 愉快 etc. K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilymei Posted March 23, 2007 at 02:03 PM Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 at 02:03 PM We said like that. But normally there will have some interjection, like: 周末快乐! 谢谢你，你也是！ 很高兴见到你！ 啊!我也是的。 你做得很好。 哈，你也是！ 我天天都锻炼身体 我也是哦。 那儿冬天很冷。 这儿也是的。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
