#chinese vocabulary
I was reading an article in Chinese about climate changes and how it will influence sports. I found there very useful phrases that I wanted to share with you! You can use them during HSK 5 writing section (I think :D)
I do not post pinyin and meaning of words, everything is on the website (I suggest to sing up for it, it’s for free!)

In my last post about hello talk HERE
I discussed my experience with the app, all the useful phrases I had collected. From native speakers of the Chinese language. So I thought i’d compile another list, this time focusing on vocabulary around what the young people these days are using to text online, or say to each other!
*for future reference the masterlist link should be under my profile pic on my homepage!

Test Yourself:
Hello! This is all the Chinese learning content i’ve created so far! I hope you are all learning well and enjoying your language journeys!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So I was sick of being stuck behind my computer, learning and writing vocab, but not being able to talk to anyone in Chinese. I was looking around and thought i’d try this app called HELLO TALK. I’ve had it for two days so far!
Essentially it connects you with someone across the world who has your target language in their mother tongue. And ideally you’d have their target language as your mother tongue. And the language exchange begins!
Ofc there’s a bit of filtering to do, with people who aren’t willing to help you with your language and only want to speak in English. But once you find someone who has the same language learning goals as you it’s a matter of jumping straight into it. Try texting them in a mix of english/chinese and you can send back and forth voice memos to ask questions and improve eachother’s pronunciation :)
Here is some key vocab points and some of the things I got asked and discussed from my language exchange with a guy from Beijing and a girl from Hainan and many others :)
Even though there is a language translate function, it runs out after 15 goes if you have a free account. So I found myself forced to put things into google translate and look up things in the PLECO dictionary. Most, if not all of these sentences came from the native Chinese speakers on the app! So this is Chinese vocab in its most natural expression!
BONUS SENTENCES:
Asking your language partner to say things in English/Chinese
1. Please say this sentence in English/Chinese
请用英文/中文说这句话
Qǐng yòng yīngwén/zhōngwén shuō zhè jù huà
Setting a timeframe for your language exchange
1. Let’s talk for an hour!
一小时久 我们说吧!
Yī xiǎoshí jiǔ wǒmen shuō ba!
久: particle for duration of time
2. Let’s talk for half an hour!
半个小时久,让我们聊聊吧!
Bàn gè xiǎoshí jiǔ, ràng wǒmen liáo liáo ba!
3. I don’t have much time
我没有太多时间
Wǒ méiyǒu tài duō shíjiān
4. I have to go to sleep now
我现在必须去睡觉了
Wǒ xiànzài bìxū qù shuìjiàole
Thought i’d try a slightly different approach, particularly for the nouns to remember them. By breaking down individual meanings of the radicals within each character + pairing with a context driving trigger sentence. With Chinese, the radicals tell a story of how the word came to be, so perhaps looking at Chinese characters through that approach will encourage another level of long-term memory.
**Radical meanings are in bold + the vocabulary is CAPITALISED

别让爱熄灭 DON’T LET MY LOVE DIE OUT
尽头是永远 THE END IS FOREVER
这爱太绝对 THIS LOVE IS TOO PERFECT
不会再重演 IT WON’T COME AGAIN
熄灭 xímiè to stop burning / to go out (of fire) / to die out
熄:to stop burning / to go out (of fire, lamp etc) / to come to an end: semantic 火 (pictographic representation of a fire, huǒ) + phonetic 息 (自 “nose” + 心 “heart” – to breath (life) through one’s nose, breathe, xī)
灭:to extinguish or put out:simplified from 滅:semantic 氵“water” + phonetic 烕 “destroy” (miè) – to destroy with water. 烕 considered to be an ideogrammic compound: 戌 “ninth month” + 火 “fire”, probably alluding to a passage in Huainanzi (an ancient Chinese text that consists of a collection of essays that blends Daoist, Confucianist, Buddhist and Legalist concepts):
火生於寅,壯於午,死於戌 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
Huǒ shēng yú yín, zhuàng yú wǔ, sǐ yú xū
Fire is born in the first month, is strong in the fifth month,
and dies in the ninth month.
水会流失,火会熄灭,而爱情却能和命运抗衡。
Water will run off, the fire will go out, but love can compete with fate.
尽头 jìntóu end / extremity / limit
尽:to use up / to end / to finish:simplified from 盡 “to end” (jìn)
头:head / hair style / the top / beginning or end:simplified from 頭 - phono-semantic compound: phonetic 豆 (some kind of container, dòu) + semantic 頁 (head of a kneeling person, emphasising “head”, yè)
蓝蓝的天空仿佛是一片没有尽头的大海。
The blue sky is like a sea without end.
绝对 juéduì absolute / unconditional
绝:to cut short / to disappear / to vanish:simplified from 絕 - phono-semantic compound: semantic 糹(pictogram “silk”, mì) + semantic 刀 (pictogram “knife”, dāo) + phonetic 巴 (pictogram of a a kneeling person, jié) — to cut silk threads.
对:right / correct / opposite /to match together / to adjust / to fit:simplified from 對 (duì)(more about this character)
世界上绝对静止的东西是没有的。
There is nothing in the world that is absolutely static.
重演 chóngyǎn a repeat performance / repeat occurrence
重:to repeat / repetition / again / re-: from phono-semantic compound: semantic 人 (side view of a standing man, highlighting the arms and legs, “man”, rén) + phonetic 東 (”bag”,dōng). Also ideogrammic compound – a man carrying a bag. Another pronunciation: zhòng - heavy.
演: to practice / to perform / to play / to act: phono-semantic compound: semantic 氵“water” + phonetic 寅 (yín).
历史的悲剧总是会重演。
The tragedy of history will always repeat itself.

对我而言,你只是一个小男孩,
Duì wǒ ér yán, nǐ zhǐshì yīgè xiǎo nánhái,
To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy
和其他成千上万的小男孩没有什么不同。
hé qítā chéng qiān shàng wàn de xiǎo nánhái méiyǒu shé me bùtóng.
who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys.
我不需要你。And I have no need of you.
Wǒ bù xūyào nǐ.
你也不需要我。And you, on your part, have no need of me.
Nǐ yě bù xūyào wǒ.
对你而言,我也和其它成千上万的狐狸并没有差别。
Duì nǐ ér yán, wǒ yě hé qítā chéng qiān shàng wàn de húlí bìng méiyǒu chābié.
To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.
但是,假如你驯服了我,我们就彼此需要了。
Dànshì, jiǎrú nǐ xùnfúle wǒ, wǒmen jiù bǐcǐ xūyàole.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
对我而言,你就是举世无双的;对你而言,我也是独一无二的。
Duì wǒ ér yán, nǐ jiùshì jǔshì wúshuāng de; duì nǐ ér yán, wǒ yěshì dúyīwú'èr de.
To me, you will be unique in all the world; to you, I shall be unique in all the world.
而言 ér yán - to be regarding; to be in terms of; to be speaking of; to be as far as something is concerned.
而言 (éryán) is always put at the end of a sentence structure which starts with a preposition, such as 对于 (duìyú, “regarding”), 就 (jiù, “in [terms of]”) or 从 (cóng, “from”), or is collocated with 相比 (xiāngbǐ, “comparison”).
其他成千上万 qítā chéng qiān shàng wàn - thousands of others (其他 other / (sth or sb) else / the rest + 成千上万 lit. by the thousands and tens of thousands (idiom); untold numbers / thousands upon thousands)
并没有差别:
One of the many uses of 并 (bìng) is to add emphasis to a sentence that uses 不 or 没. Because you’re emphasizing a negation, 并 is often used when expressing disagreement, or pointing out a flaw in someone’s argument. You can take pretty much any sentence with a negated verb,and give it a little extra kick with 并. Just put it before the 不 or 没. Note that when used with 不, you can negate an adjective as well.
假如你驯服了我,我们就彼此需要了:
“假如⋯⋯,就⋯⋯” (jiǎrú…, jiù…) is yet another way to express “If…, then…” in Chinese, but it is much more formal than 要是 or 如果 are (in both written and spoken Chinese).
举世无双 jǔshì wúshuāng - unrivalled (idiom); world number one / unique
独一无二 dúyīwú'èr - unique and unmatched (idiom); unrivalled / nothing compares with it
狐狸 húlí - fox
驯服 xùnfú - tame
彼此 bǐcǐ - each other
