>> Listen to the MP3 (right click to save)
Notes:
饿 zhè and 那 nà are demonstrative pronouns, which means that they point out where something
is. 饿 zhè means this and 那 nà means that.
Pronunciation point:
You should be careful not to confuse 那 nà with the interrogative pronoun 很 nǎ. 那 nà has a
fourth tone falling sound, which sounds commanding or even angry to English speakers. nǎ has
the falling and then rising third tone, which to English speakers sounds a bit like someone who is
mildly incredulous of something.

Notes:
The structural particle 的 de is usually put between the interrogative pronoun 饿 shéi and the
noun it is an attributive of.

Zhè běn zázhì shì tā de.
This magazine is his.
那很饿饿饿饿饿饿饿饿
Nà fèn bàozhǐ shì Zhāng Lǎoshī de.
That newspaper is Zhang teacher's.
Pronunciation point:
饿 Zhè and 那 nà is the pronunciation you typically find in textbooks, but sometimes they may be
pronounced as zhèi and nèi, respectively. This pronunciation is only used when the words are
specifying which is which, as in "Which book out of all of these are Anna's? - This one."
Zhèi and nèi is considered to be less standard pronunciation, so there's no reason to worry about
it too muc 去 h. If you are living in China and in a region where zhèi and nèi are being used you
will probably pick them up instinctually, the way one picks up slang. Otherwise, you can never
go wrong saying Zhè and nà.

23.05 Whose book bag is this?
李雪:
饿饿饿饿饿饿饿

王饿:
我的。
Wǒ de.
李雪:
那很很？
Nà ge ne?
王饿:
我室友的。
Wǒ shìyǒu de.
Notes:
The head noun can be left out if it is understood what is being referred to, this is a form of
ellipsis. It is understood in the question 那很很？ Nà ge ne? the 那很 Nà ge refers to 那很饿饿
Nà ge shūbāo, so there is no need to restate the noun for a second time.

Vocabulary point:
饿饿 shūbāo means bookbag. The word is made exactly the same as in English, by joining the
word 饿 shū book to 包 bāo bag.

Notes:
The question word 很很 nǎr and 很里 nǎlǐ have the exact same meaning, it is just that 很很 nǎr
is used (extensively) in the north of China. The meaning and use of the two words is the same. It
corresponds to the location words 那很 nàr ( 很里 nǎlǐ) and 饿饿 zhèr ( 饿饿 zhèlǐ ).
In the case of all six words, the 里 lǐ sound has morphed into the 很 sound. To put it another

way, people in Beijing all sound like pirates.
Pronunciation point:
You might be wondering why we have used what could be considered a deviant pronunciation so
extensively in our text. The first is that the 很 sound has official recognition within the PRC and
is actually used in most beginner's textbooks for students studying in the North of China.
Secondly, the 很 sound, due to its connection with Beijing and the centers of Mandarin speaking,
could well be considered a "prestige" dialect. Finally, and most importantly, we think it sounds
cool.

Vocabulary point:
Although 在 zài can be translated as be, in Mandarin Chinese its usage and meaning is distinct
from the other word for be, 是 shì. 在 zài is used to indicate location in space and time, whereas
是 shì is used to indicate identity.

Vocabulary point:
饿饿 cèsuǒ is definitely the cruder of the terms available for the, um, well facilities as it were. 洗
手饿 xíshǒujiān is the prettiest of the terms available, it literally means "place where you may
wash your hands".

Notes:
就 jiù is an adverb, generally speaking it specifies the exactness of something. When used when
talking about directions, it conveys the feeling of "right here" or "right there".
