    These are great. I haven't gotten to immersion yet but one thing that concerns me is hearing the various clips in this video. I don't know if it's their rate of speech, but the Chinese speakers seem to drop syllables a lot or they combine words. (I know, English speakers do the same).
    I understand that's just speaking naturally, just wondering about immersion. Thinking I don't know a word that maybe I do, but the speaker said it so quickly or in an odd way.

      @kaleoscreations8069 5 месяцев назад

      Since you pointed this out, I listened to this many times. I actually don’t think she cut off the 么, she just pronounced it quickly and softened the consonants to say it less clearly but more quickly/efficiently

      中文说的比较快就会有这样的连读,英语中应该也有类似的连读,也算是比较地道了,如果把“么”读出来比较拗口,难读,所以就会读的很轻

    @catinabox3048 6 месяцев назад

    I don't think of the whole "really obvious comment about what they're doing in that moment" as a comment but more like a question. It's akin to "you leaving?" when you arrive somewhere and see someone packing up. Although some of your examples like the "你回来了" one admittedly do make a little less sense in English. I also think "have you eaten yet," while it can just be used casually to express care and concern, is also frequently used when the real question the asker wants the answer to is "Will I be cutting into your meal time if I engage you in conversation?"

    • @MandarinBlueprint
      @MandarinBlueprint  6 месяцев назад +1

      You'er right, 吃饭了吗 can definitely be asking if you're interrupting someone's meal time, but I estimate that's only in 1 in 5 situations; since we're teaching fresh learners, we tend to fall on the simplest and most common daily life usage, and that's just a generic comment to start a conversation, and not literally asking about whether the other person has eaten.
      For example 你走了啊? isn't seeking an answer 是啊,我走了。but definitely has to be followed up with a conversation proper, since just answering that and leaving is very strange and perhaps rude. Similarly, if your spouse says 你回来了 when you come home, you wouldn't just answer 是,我回来了。 then end the conversation and go do something else.

    Sorry for the doubt, but in the video you said: when we're just passing by when we're not intending to stop and talk to someone and we just want to be polite and engage with someone either a stranger or someone that we already know so when greeting a stranger or passing an acquaintance whose name you don't know in the street it's common just to say (Nǐ hǎo ma) with a smile.
    But in your article you wrote: While using 你好吗 (Nǐ hǎo ma) in daily Chinese conversation technically isn't wrong, in reality, native Mandarin Chinese speakers very rarely use this as a greeting as it comes off as very rigid and formal.
    So I really didn't understand the use of this expression. ☹

    • @MandarinBlueprint
      @MandarinBlueprint  11 месяцев назад

      I said it's common to say "ni hao" (hello), not ni haoma. Nihao ma is indeed a little rigid but is fine for native speakers to use in certain situations. Non-natives who use it however will come across as someone who doesn't know the language well so best stay away from it.
