I'm a Chinese. In my region, we don't simply call people - strangers or friends likewise - Meinu or shuaige, not unless you want to flirt with them so it would be deemed as rude sometimes. In Mainland, I have seen people call men as "Da Ge (big brother)" for man older than the speaker or "Xiao Di (younger bro)" for younger man/boy. "Xiansheng" also works. As for women, it's true they don't use "Xiao Jie"; instead I have heard people called "Da Jie (big sister) for any older women and "Xiao Mei (younger sister)" for younger women. Probably "Gu Niang" is also used but not as often as those that I had mentioned.
I worked as an actor in China for 15 years and I was surprised to discover that 老师 is also a term of address for an actor, and sometimes other workers in a film company like make-up people (化妆老师) and so on.
True. He is the reason why I sometimes watch the same scene over and over again, in order to master it. I think he gave advice for someone to watch the same drama back to back, because mastering that is like mastering 80 percent of Chinese, or something like that. Well, I thought that was too intense for me as a beginner, when I came across that comment, so over 30 dramas later, a year or so has passed and I wish I had toughed it out. 😂 Many of the dramas I watch have the same concept and conversations.

Hello Andy, this is my first time on your channel. The content of each of the videos is very useful and informative for Chinese learners as well as for getting general knowledge about the Chinese people and the culture. I appreciate that and wish you best of luck for the future. I have a few questions to ask you, if you happen to have some free time, please give me your answers. The questions are: How do people (especially foreigners learning Chinese) learn Chinese for the very first time? Where do they start their learning if they are to learn from scratch?. Thank you.

In Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, Xiao jie (小姐) doesnt have negative conotation, just simply means "Miss". I noticed in Mainland China, people tends to.avoid Xiaojie, and change to 姑娘， in Taiwan and other southeast asia countries, 姑娘sounds very old fashioned, look like this people come from certain dynasty era...
Actually it depends mainly on the culture and social norms of the area that you are staying. In Singapore, we call a lady 'xiaojie' and if you use the term 'meinu' you are seen trying to flirt with her.

Nice video but I’ve never had this problem when speaking to Chinese in Chinese and even when I speak to them in English. They always manly tell me their Chinese name. Only few have used their English name they are called by. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Chinese from many different provinces of China🙂as well as being able to visit different provinces myself.
Maybe because you are a foreigner. It's common for us to ask a kid "你叫什么名字？" but we barely do that to an adult. For example, nobody has asked me that question for 5 years since my son went to kindergarten and I've always been called as “ Wu Zhengyue Baba” among the teachers and students

Ming means name, kuai means chopsticks, pang means fat. Q1.Why there is a need to add zi next to these words? Q2. When we need to add zi? Q3. When does one use zi with the roof radical and without?
And monosyllables were dominant in ancient Chinesw because we had less things to describe while disyllables are dominant in modern Chinese. That's why it doesn't work if you just say 名ming or 筷kuai with its literal translation in English.
Chinese is a contextual language. The other syllable works like a certain context for listener to know what you are talking about. l explained more in this video👇 ruclips.net/video/BGm3ftiEjTQ/видео.html

Andy, how do you talk about your wife to others? For example would you say: 我的太太是工程师 or would you say 我老这是工程师?” Suppose you are introducing your wife to a peer, do you say 这是我的太太. or 这是我老婆 ？ Is 太太 commonly used nowadays in China? Do people refer to their wife as 爱人 , 老婆 ,妻子, or something else? Thanks for your help.
In the first example of a formal greeting, why is it okay for A to use "你“ instead of "您“ in his follow-up to B's response? (B: "叫我Andy就可以了“ A: “Andy,你好！） Is it because some social connection has already been established between A and B, so A can refer to B in a more casual manner?
Andy, the "xioajie" euphemism reminded me that in English, "Madam" can mean a female pimp. In the movie "The Producers", Zero Mostel politely tips his hat and says "Thank you, Madam," and the pretentious working class landlady says, "I'm not a MADAM, I'm a CONCIERGE."
Really learning a lot from your videos :D May I ask, I'm quite confused with "laoshi," it's like I'm hearing an "r" in the end. Is that how "shi" is sometimes pronounced? Thank you! :D

Andy, thank you for your wonderful personality and way of teaching Mandarin. I'm curious, why would one call a blue-collar worker, "master"? 'Master' in English is from 'master and servant'. The master is the superior, the boss. In the olden days it was for addressing a person of a notable status, higher than your average mister. Secondly, if milkman has anything to do with prostitution, I missed it. Milkman jokes usually refer to the extramarital affair by the wives. I'm not saying you're wrong because I could very well be ignorant of the matter. Please give me some links that show the connection you're claiming. Finally, did you study in the US? Your English is mainly American. And it is very good. There are people who have gone to America and even after so many years of still living there, who speak less clearly. Thanks again for your truly useful Mandarin lessons, look forward to your reply!
1.This is my hypothetical answer angain. Master was the original meaning for "shifu"and it has become a modern address for a blue collar worker maybe because: 1.They share something similar that the blue collar workers are technicians in their fields, like driving or repairing, etc. 2.We want to show our respect in calling them "specialists" instead of addressing "manual workers".
2. The only link between "milkman" and "xiaojie" is they both mean something else and most natives can read between the lines. That's why l say it must be quoted.
l learnt English in China and l've never been to US before. But l am a linguist focusing on phonetics and l have been working with Americans for over 11 years.

It's still a little confusing. What if you dont have an american name nor a title? By replying with Jiao wo "your name" jiu keyile (sorry i dont have the correct punctuation), do people just all of a sudden stop being curious about what chinese letters your name is made of? Even though you introduce yourself as Instructor Wu, do people just stop wondering which "Wu" character your name uses? I assume it has to do with specically using the term "ming zi". Is there an implied obligation to clarify associated with that word?
Great video. I have a question though about addressing middle aged professional women. Is there an equivalent to Madam? Would that be 夫人 furen? Or does this sound outdated?
Pardon my ignorance, Wu Lao Shih, but is the character for your family name simplified? I suspect it is written the same way as the State of Wu from the Three Kingdoms. Am I correct?
Good question. You can ask your date what she prefers you to address her with the expression in the video: 怎么称呼你？Zenme chenghu ni? How do I address you?
Hello👋 love how u break down the sentences. It makes it a lot easier to follow along but I do have a question... Would it make sense if I said 我是 (name) instead of 我叫 (name)?
兄台 is an old way to call some one "brother" which you can hear in some Chinese movies or dramas. To know the modern one, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/6RyCkBrnL0I/видео.html

Hello Andy Xiansheng 😅.. Wo you wenti ba.. 🤭. Ruguo wo use Guniang instead of Xiaojie, keyi ma? Is it normal? Haha.. Sori, my Mandarin just half cooked 😄 Please advice.

Hi, Can anyone help me? When I watch a Chinese's drama,Chinese people usually call their family name. Just wonder if they have two or more friends which have the same family name, how do they call in this situation? 😅 If they have two people they can call Big and Small ( eg 老 张 & 小 张） How do they call if they have more than two? Thanks in advanced.
3:48 Laoshi andy I wanna know why we have to ask their name meaning exactly ? Even though we don't need to know their name means Like if she said that her name is Zhāng Xiâoli Then we would know her name that's it ! But Why we have to ask like Shénme Zhāng ? Shénme Xiāo ? Shénme li ? 🤓😷 I mean is there any particular reasons why we have to ask them 🤓😷

In my country we use that word a lot and generally used when addressing any female stranger politely -- even use it on waiter. It's just cultural differences I guess. We also ask the name of a person we but don't really asked about how it's written because not all Chinese in my country are able to read/write Chinese although they could speak the language. Once I was in Beijing and I addressed the officer at the subway as xiao jie because it was so natural to me 😅 then my son pointed out my mistake. 😂
11:17 Andy, I think your explanation of "Milkman" is not quite widely used. It's not difficult to guess how this term could relate somehow to a woman being a prostitute, but I am saying, it's really not a common usage as a euphemism. I am, in fact, a native (American) English speaker and am an "English as a second language" teacher. Before watching your video I never in my life had actually heard "Milkman" used in this context. Curious, I Googled it and checked both online dictionaries and online "urban dictionaries" for this particular definition of "Milkman" but could not find it anywhere. Don't get me wrong, "Milkman" may certainly be a euphemism for "prostitute", but I can say with a high confidence level that it is not a commonly used one.

Hello Andy, this is my first time on your channel. The content of each of the videos is very useful and informative for Chinese learners as well as for getting general knowledge about the Chinese people and the culture. I appreciate that and wish you best of luck for the future. I have a few questions to ask you, if you happen to have some free time, please give me your answers. The questions are: How do people (especially foreigners learning Chinese) learn Chinese for the very first time? Where do they start their learning if they are to learn from scratch?. Thank you.
Good to know that you find my videos useful for you.

In Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, Xiao jie (小姐) doesnt have negative conotation, just simply means "Miss". I noticed in Mainland China, people tends to.avoid Xiaojie, and change to 姑娘， in Taiwan and other southeast asia countries, 姑娘sounds very old fashioned, look like this people come from certain dynasty era...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Bit sad for someone to hijack an otherwise respectful salutation.
Actually it depends mainly on the culture and social norms of the area that you are staying. In Singapore, we call a lady 'xiaojie' and if you use the term 'meinu' you are seen trying to flirt with her.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Andy Laoshi, I feel like you pronounce all the english words in 3rd tone 😁
I love your teaching!
That's funny.
lf we imposed tones on English, they could be falling or rising like the 3rd tone. And it should be more like semi-3rd which is falling + flat.

Nice video but I’ve never had this problem when speaking to Chinese in Chinese and even when I speak to them in English. They always manly tell me their Chinese name. Only few have used their English name they are called by.
I’ve had the privilege of meeting Chinese from many different provinces of China🙂as well as being able to visit different provinces myself.
Maybe because you are a foreigner. It's common for us to ask a kid "你叫什么名字？" but we barely do that to an adult. For example, nobody has asked me that question for 5 years since my son went to kindergarten and I've always been called as “ Wu Zhengyue Baba” among the teachers and students
I love the way you teaching

This video helped a lot!
Ming means name, kuai means chopsticks, pang means fat.
Q1.Why there is a need to add zi next to these words?
Q2. When we need to add zi?
Q3. When does one use zi with the roof radical and without?
Good question!
A1.We have many homophones in Chinese language. And zi is only one of them.
名字Mingzi
筷子kuaizi
胖子Pangzi
You can see the characters for #1 is different from #2& #3.
And monosyllables were dominant in ancient Chinesw because we had less things to describe while disyllables are dominant in modern Chinese. That's why it doesn't work if you just say 名ming or 筷kuai with its literal translation in English.
Chinese is a contextual language. The other syllable works like a certain context for listener to know what you are talking about. l explained more in this video👇

Andy, how do you talk about your wife to others? For example would you say: 我的太太是工程师 or would you say 我老这是工程师?” Suppose you are introducing your wife to a peer, do you say 这是我的太太. or 这是我老婆 ？ Is 太太 commonly used nowadays in China? Do people refer to their wife as 爱人 , 老婆 ,妻子, or something else? Thanks for your help.
It's up to who I talk to.I would say "这是我老婆" if I talk to my friends and "这是我太太/爱人" if I talk to a stranger.
In the first example of a formal greeting, why is it okay for A to use "你“ instead of "您“ in his follow-up to B's response? (B: "叫我Andy就可以了“ A: “Andy,你好！） Is it because some social connection has already been established between A and B, so A can refer to B in a more casual manner?
Because mostly we use 您好 for much older people or your superiors
Ni hao, Andy. A good video as always. I'm curious, instead of using a name, someone can answer using a nickname too?
Yes. You can use the pattern: Jiao wo +NICK NAME + jiu keyi le.
Andy, the "xioajie" euphemism reminded me that in English, "Madam" can mean a female pimp. In the movie "The Producers", Zero Mostel politely tips his hat and says "Thank you, Madam," and the pretentious working class landlady says, "I'm not a MADAM, I'm a CONCIERGE."
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, my friend
Really learning a lot from your videos :D
May I ask, I'm quite confused with "laoshi," it's like I'm hearing an "r" in the end. Is that how "shi" is sometimes pronounced? Thank you! :D

Andy, thank you for your wonderful personality and way of teaching Mandarin.
I'm curious, why would one call a blue-collar worker, "master"? 'Master' in English is from 'master and servant'. The master is the superior, the boss. In the olden days it was for addressing a person of a notable status, higher than your average mister.
Secondly, if milkman has anything to do with prostitution, I missed it. Milkman jokes usually refer to the extramarital affair by the wives. I'm not saying you're wrong because I could very well be ignorant of the matter. Please give me some links that show the connection you're claiming.
Finally, did you study in the US? Your English is mainly American. And it is very good. There are people who have gone to America and even after so many years of still living there, who speak less clearly.
Thanks again for your truly useful Mandarin lessons, look forward to your reply!
No problem, my friend.
Let me answer your questions one by one.
1.This is my hypothetical answer angain. Master was the original meaning for "shifu"and it has become a modern address for a blue collar worker maybe because: 1.They share something similar that the blue collar workers are technicians in their fields, like driving or repairing, etc. 2.We want to show our respect in calling them "specialists" instead of addressing "manual workers".
2. The only link between "milkman" and "xiaojie" is they both mean something else and most natives can read between the lines. That's why l say it must be quoted.
l learnt English in China and l've never been to US before. But l am a linguist focusing on phonetics and l have been working with Americans for over 11 years.

It's still a little confusing. What if you dont have an american name nor a title? By replying with Jiao wo "your name" jiu keyile (sorry i dont have the correct punctuation), do people just all of a sudden stop being curious about what chinese letters your name is made of? Even though you introduce yourself as Instructor Wu, do people just stop wondering which "Wu" character your name uses? I assume it has to do with specically using the term "ming zi". Is there an implied obligation to clarify associated with that word?

To address a girl, I suggest "gu niang" (姑娘)。 To address a guy, I suggest "gong zi" (公子)
姑娘 is still okay but 公子 sounds like you came here with a time machine :)
Great video. I have a question though about addressing middle aged professional women. Is there an equivalent to Madam? Would that be 夫人 furen? Or does this sound outdated?
Good question! It is 女士Nǚshì - madam, lady
夫人 is Mrs. not madam

小姐are often used in formal occasions, while it does have a meaning of prostitute, but it really depends on how you use it and the situation.
Yeah
In my country we use that word a lot and generally used when addressing any female stranger politely -- even use it on waiter. It's just cultural differences I guess.
We also ask the name of a person we but don't really asked about how it's written because not all Chinese in my country are able to read/write Chinese although they could speak the language.
Once I was in Beijing and I addressed the officer at the subway as xiao jie because it was so natural to me 😅 then my son pointed out my mistake. 😂
很好Andy
谢谢你，Shahab!
11:17 Andy, I think your explanation of "Milkman" is not quite widely used. It's not difficult to guess how this term could relate somehow to a woman being a prostitute, but I am saying, it's really not a common usage as a euphemism.
I am, in fact, a native (American) English speaker and am an "English as a second language" teacher. Before watching your video I never in my life had actually heard "Milkman" used in this context.
Curious, I Googled it and checked both online dictionaries and online "urban dictionaries" for this particular definition of "Milkman" but could not find it anywhere. Don't get me wrong, "Milkman" may certainly be a euphemism for "prostitute", but I can say with a high confidence level that it is not a commonly used one.
Thank you for your comment!
Sorry that l didn't make it clear.
A milkman joke is a class of joke exploiting fear of adultery and mistaken paternity.
The word "milkman " in English is quoted and means something else which is similar to "小姐 " meaning something else in Chinese.
l didn't mean to say "milkman" is the implied "prostitute" in Chinese but it also goes with an implied meaning like 小姐 in Chinese.
Will you please make a video that will explain the use and meaning of “就”. Thank you
Sure. l will make videos about those vocabs with multiple meanings like 要 &就 later.
No problem, my friend.

Saying that someone is a teacher.

Ta shi ge jiaoshi.
Is it correct?
lt's correct.
There are two TEACHERs in Chinese: jiaoshi & laoshi.
l recommend you to use Laoshi. Because Laoshi can be used as an address and an occupation.
While jiaoshi doesn't work if you call someone Jiaoshi.
