"Can I Borrow a Charger?" in Chinese | Elementary Lesson | ChinesePod

[@simplyandoime7344]

I love the conversation and the breakdown. Nice way to learn grammar.

[@Citizen_X.]

Another handy use of the word 让 (ràng) is when someone is unintentionally blocking your way in a public place or a store, mall etc. and you'd like them to move. The phrase to use in such a situation is "请让一下" (Qǐng ràng yīxià) literally "Please allow me" or "Please let me pass". It's a little polite compared to pushing people out of the way with your hands.

[@Bizzienews]

Thank for this information - very useful!

[@ChinesePodTV]

Thanks Xiao Hei！Another expression that means the same thing is 接过一下，which is more commonly used in Taiwan.

[@spikiyki00]

[@gracechen9903]

the second questions is " when you introduct someone to others, you should say "我来介绍一下她“ ， insteaf of " 我来介绍她一下。waiting for your reply, thanks.

[@AndersonGScarpi]

Thank you for uploading this video to KZbin. Great video! Excellent job, girls! Keep up the good work.

[@vikkidong2695]

In Mandarin, it is more often for people to simply say iPhone, or Ai4Feng4 as pronounced in Chinese. And it should be 手机 instead of 电话, because in Mandarin, 手机 = cellphone / mobile, 电话 = telephone / landline

[@aleidarolland3588]

How would you say My phone's batter is dead? 謝謝!

[@gracechen4950]

I heard people usually say " 我要休息了“ that is also mean " sleep"? another question, dian hua and shou ji are the same thing ?

[@cclemon38]

Can 转接头 be used as a more common use of the word 变压器？

[@frankfang3987]

actually we say most “充电器” more than those two words in the mainland. If you say "转接头” or “变压器” we may think they are special equipment for electrical or electrical items.

[@intelligentemo3392]

whats the difference between dianhua and shouji...I always though a mobile phone is a shouji...but here it is dianhua...why?

[@mayaraaamk9484]

really helpful video for me now I m new learner

[@ChinesePodTV]

[@郑桂珠-s2d]

in some parts, Jenny said, "an zuo" instead of "an zhuo", like in 3.34 and 6.25 part. i guess it's a mistake, right? another thing is, i guess people use 安卓手机，苹果手机 and 华为手机more often than 安卓电话，苹果电话or 华为电话. because 电话and 手机are in some way different. right?

[@ylwei4980]

Are convert and adapter both 变压器？

[@gracechen9903]

If they talk about cell phone ,I think they should say "shou ji 手机“ is better. "dian hua" means telephone, and cell phone means "shou ji" , telephone and cell phone is totally different. am I right?

[@03unnati]

[@jenevieverichards8988]

What it's the difference between xuyao and xiangyao?

[@learnchinesewithrushan1690]

xuyao means need and xiangyao means want.

[@musicforthesoul-relax3517]

“what is the difference between 电话 and 手机？

[@musicforthesoul-relax3517]

@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team thank you

[@jenevieverichards8988]

It's also sounded like grace was pronouncing a "c" sound in pinyin instead of a "ch" sound. Is that abKrher pronunciation ?

[@ChinesePodTV]

Hi there, I think you mean Jenny, she sometimes drops the 'h' sound. You are right, it's her accent. As a learner, it's good to try and understand multiple different accents so you can communicate effectively with people from all parts of China!

[@囚徒的自我救赎]

变压器？

[@MrAbrandao]

This video is all that I ask for. But... What about 手机 X 电话 ？ 想 x 要， 想 x 觉得 ？ I would like a more literal translation. 我用的是 x I use instead of I have... In 3:07 I got in doubt about the pronunciation. Chongdian. You sounded like csong... And I would like to see the word for Borrow... Thank you for this video

[@ReasonableRadio]

"我用的“ here is "the one I use", so 是 here just makes it "The one I use Is..." Also don't doubt the pronunciations from the pinyin they're fairly accurate. She did make a mistake it's definitely Chongdian if it's written Chondian with the tongue at the top of the mouth. I imagine that's the number one mistake for native English speakers because we don't use that tongue distinction at all.

[@junpu2179]

Is "我需要喝水” same as "我想要喝水"？

[@pppppp2735]

“我需要喝水” is mean I need to drink water ,and 我想要喝水 is mean I wanna drink water ,so they are a little different

[@frankfang3987]

@@pppppp2735 I don't think they are different. they all say the speaker want water.

[@安保虎]

Love so much this foreigner girl

[@susannaallmeroth5006]

I don’t know anyone who says “Apple 电话” but always “手机”. Is that a regional difference again?

[@ChinesePodTV]

Hi there, actually you're right, Apple 电话 is not commonly used. 苹果手机 would be more easily understood by listeners. Thanks!
