Answer 7

Well, sometimes Google translate doesn't supply the best translations, especially if it's slang or certain speech from a certain age group. So, I thought it would be more helpful to ask a local speaker or a language student here for a more accurate answer. If I thought otherwise, I would have already used Google translate.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I speak am a Chinese speaker and my entire family speaks Chinese so these are how *most* people would say it in china. When is say commonly used, it does not mean that people say it a lot, it just means that this is the common way to say it.

Pick this up = 捡起来 or 捡这个起来 Pinyin = Jiǎn qǐlái or Jiǎn zhège qǐlái (The first one is mostly said to children because it would be kind of rude to say it to your friends and the second one is the literal translation of pick this up, but is not usually said like that)

Where's the bathroom = 厕所在哪里 or 厕所在哪儿 Pinyin = Cèsuǒ zài nǎlǐ or Cèsuǒ zài nǎ'er (Both are commonly used)

I need this = 我需要这个 Pinyin = Wǒ xūyào zhège (Commonly said)

What is this? = 这是什么 Pinyin = Zhè shì shénme (Commonly said)

Get your things = 拿你的东西 Pinyin = Ná nǐ de dōngxī (Commonly said)

I am hurt = 我受伤了 Pinyin = Wǒ shòushāngle (Commonly said)

I need help = 我需要帮助 Pinyin = Wǒ xūyào bāngzhù (Not commonly said, but the only one that is able to get the direct meaning across, because other ones change the meaning slightly like 帮我 Pinyin =Bāng wǒ or 帮我一下 Pinyin = Bāng wǒ yīxià which both mean help me, but is said much more than "我需要帮助")

I want (something) = 我要 (something) Pinyin = Wǒ yào (something) (Commonly said)

Answer 10

If you want words translated, use mdbg.net We have used that site in my Chinese classes. You can't really translate full sentences, you have to translate it word by word, but if you have a basic understanding of Chinese grammar it should be very helpful!
