Ni xing shénme? What is your surname?

2)

Let me introduce briefly.
Wo lai shuo yixia...
Let me speak briefly.

Language Points

1. Measure words
numeral alone cannot function as an attributive, but must be
In Chinese, a-
combined with a measure word inserted between the numeral and the noun it

modifies. The pattern is: Number + MW +N.

For example:

five students

Apart from using numbers before measure words, iz zhe/ Ff

na/W na can also

For example:

number 'two' comes before a

Both mean 'two' in English, but when the measur

word, or before a noun where no measure word is required, if liang is used instea

two years
two o'clock two days

liang sui two years old liding ge xingqi liang ge yue

two weeks two months

But in numbers larger than ten, such as 12, 22, 32, 42, etc.,

12 o 'clock 12 days 22 years

These both mean 'how many, how much'. When asking about a number under 10.

 “几 jǐ”VS“多 duō”“多少 duōshǎo”——how many/how much？
Same point：Both of them are question words，the function almost like Interrogative Pronoun in
Chinese.
Eg: 几 jǐ（个 ge）人 rén？= 多少 duōshǎo 人 rén？
Difference：

（Let’s have a look about measure words）

The pattern of them to ask “how many/how much”:

- 几 jǐ + MW + N
-多少 duōshǎo + N
The question word MW N Phrases Sentences for examples:
1 几 jǐ 个 gè/ 口 人 rén 几个/口人 nǐ jiāyǒu jǐ kǒu ɡè rén
kǒu 你 家 有 几 口 /个 人 ？
多少 duōshǎo 人 rén 多少人 ？
2 几 jǐ 块 kuài 钱 qián 几块钱 zhè ɡe jǐ kuàiqián
这 个几 块 钱 ？
多少 duōshǎo 多少钱 ？
jǐ wèi nǐ mén jǐwèi
Note：when asking “几 位 ”，no need“人 rén”after it. Eg:你 们 几 位 ？
 nián yuè tiān
“几 jǐ”can be used with “ 年 ”“ 月 ”“ 天 ”to ask sb’s plan or sth for “how long”

jǐ nián duōshǎonián nǐ zàizhōnɡɡuó jǐ nián le

jǐ tiān duōshǎotiān nǐ zhù jǐ tiān duōshǎotiān

几天 多 少 天√ 你住几 天 /多 少 天 ？

2) AAR.
Jintian wo bu shufu.

3. ##T wo ganmao le means 'I have cold*, or 'I have caught a cold". In Chinese,

Bing le: To bing le He is sick. (He has fallen ill).
