xuechengfeng Posted July 7, 2004 at 04:47 AM Author Report Posted July 7, 2004 at 04:47 AM 謝謝你﹗ ok the last one's i'm asking help for 2night.. Yi2 xia4 ... as in 自我介紹 yi2xia4 gan4 ... as in gan4 甚麼? wan3 ... as a measure for rice dun4 ... as a measure for meals lou2 ... as in large that's all for the night Quote
Claw Posted July 7, 2004 at 05:02 AM Report Posted July 7, 2004 at 05:02 AM yi1 xia4 (not yi2 xia4): 一下 You can find a discussion about 一下(兒) here: http://www.chinese-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2110 (Altair's explanation of it is the best one in my opinion) gan4: 幹 (traditional)/干 (simplified) wan3: 碗 (not technically the measure word for rice; it means "bowl," and you can use it to measure bowls of anything, i.e: 一碗飯 = a bowl of rice; 一碗湯 = a bowl of soup) dun4: 頓 (traditional)/顿 (simplified) lou2: i don't know of any word lou2 that means large... do you mean 樓 (traditional)/楼 (simplified), which means tower or large building? You should check out http://www.zhongwen.com/ to look up characters. They have a very easy to use pinyin-to-character locator. Quote

shibo77 Posted July 7, 2004 at 07:34 AM Report Posted July 7, 2004 at 07:34 AM 一下 yi2 xia4 There is a tonal change. -Shibo Quote
Claw Posted July 7, 2004 at 04:31 PM Report Posted July 7, 2004 at 04:31 PM 一下 yi2 xia4 There is a tonal change. Ah... I was not aware of all the rules regarding tonal changes with 一... I finally found shibo's other post at http://www.chinese-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1758 explaining it. Thanks! Are there any other words besides 一 and 不 that exhibit this phenomenon? Quote
zackzhou Posted July 9, 2004 at 01:12 AM Report Posted July 9, 2004 at 01:12 AM guys 楼上的 have answered your questions, but the last one 'lou2' seems stange, what's the exact meaning of "as in large" ? Quote
xuechengfeng Posted July 9, 2004 at 01:51 AM Author Report Posted July 9, 2004 at 01:51 AM 樓 yeah, that's it. i guess the i should have been more descriptive, the way i think we were taught (my books are packed away for this moving houses) was lou described a "large" building? the dictionary i found it in said that it's a building of 2 or more stories, so i guessssssssssss that could be "large."
