Ferno Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:20 AM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:20 AM I thought all grammar particles "de" are the same: 的, I didn't know it was "得" when you say "shuo1 de" :o Quote
Desmond Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:40 AM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:40 AM there is "的", "地", and "得", although I've heard you can just use "的" for them all, it's still not proper. 大家好!我的名字叫Christina。我是美国人,我会说一点儿中文。我的男朋友叫周游是中国人。他说中文说得很好。 I think it may be better to separate of of your sentence like so: "我的男朋友叫周游,他是中国人" Quote
xiaocai Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:50 AM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 07:50 AM I think the "得" is OK here. And as Desmond said, it's more natural to separate the sentence into two parts. 加油! Quote
HashiriKata Posted November 26, 2005 at 08:26 PM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 08:26 PM The following are suggested only so that you'll see more alternatives: "我的男朋友叫周游,他是中国人" You can also say "我的男朋友叫周游,是中国人" (= need to add the comma to your original) "他说中文说得很好。" You can also say "他中文说得很好。" (If he's Chinese, he should naturally speak Chinese well. Is he an overseas Chinese?) Quote
adrianlondon Posted November 26, 2005 at 09:11 PM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 09:11 PM Is 我的名字叫correct? Shouldn't it be just 我叫 ? Quote
HashiriKata Posted November 26, 2005 at 09:14 PM Report Posted November 26, 2005 at 09:14 PM Is 我的名字叫correct? It's a bit redundent but it's, too, correct. Quote

dwood92688 Posted November 27, 2005 at 06:24 AM Report Posted November 27, 2005 at 06:24 AM 大家好!我的名字叫Christina。我是美国人,我会说一点儿中文。我的男朋友叫周游是中国人。他说中文说得很好。 um.. is all of that right? lol thanks for any corrections. and be brutal. 谢谢你! 1. 大家好!=> Great Start! 2. 我的名字叫Christina。Perfect. The short form is:我叫Christina。 3。 我是美国人,我会说一点儿中文。 Repeated subject 我 should be dropped. Thus: 我是美国人,会说一点儿中文。 Alternately: 我的名字叫Christina, 是美国人。我会说一点儿中文。 4. 我的男朋友叫周游是中国人。=> 我的男朋友叫周游,是个中国人。 Alternately, 我的男朋友周游是中国人。 5. 他说中文说得很好。=> 他的中文说得很好。 6. 谢谢你!Since you are addressing to potentially more than one person, but may not get response from more than one person, using singular 你 is not quite right. 谢谢! would cover you perfectly.

Vphoenix Posted November 27, 2005 at 06:51 AM Report Posted November 27, 2005 at 06:51 AM "得"is right。 我的男朋友叫周游,是中国人。 You'd better add a comma here。 Quote
