peekay Posted April 30, 2009 at 11:45 AM Report Posted April 30, 2009 at 11:45 AM You can also simply say "this is" (这是 -- zhè shì). E.g., for the Forbidden City you can informally say: zhè shì gù gōng (这是故宫) while pointing at the picture. Quote
Lu Posted May 1, 2009 at 04:26 PM Report Posted May 1, 2009 at 04:26 PM An easy way to find all the characters you need for this is wikipedia. Go to the English article, then click on 中文 in the lower left hand side, and you get to the Chinese article, which gives you the characters. Good luck! Quote
