Day 27: Discussion of beauty

Track 27

Even in families, the words I love you are not used in everyday-practice. In China intimate languages are awkward and uncommon between strangers as well as friends.

A: 中国很漂亮 （zhōng guō hěn piào liang）

[China is very beautiful]

B: 美国也很漂亮 (meǐ guó yě hěn piào liang)

[America is very beautiful too!]

A: 美国漂亮吗？(meǐ guó piào liang ma)

[Is America beautiful?]

B: 对！(duì)

[Yes]

or

B: 美国漂亮 (meǐ guó piào liang)

[America is beautiful]

In Chinese the sentence order stays the same for questions and answers. Add “ma” at the end of statements to make questions.
