@kittybasil whenever you get a chance :S

I don't remember any word for "nor" because I think we just go the long way (like "does not ... [verb]" which is "bu [verb]")?

But or is "huo zhe"

Vocaloid · Answer

hm

kittybasil · Answer

Google Translate it is then ಠ_ಠ

kittybasil · Answer

Yep, it says "ye bu"
So there is no actual word for nor, then.

kittybasil · Answer

btw are you asked to use pinyin? because I can type out the characters.

Vocaloid · Answer

alright cool that's what I had down thank you ~

Vocaloid · Answer

I have to write characters but it's fine

kittybasil · Answer

Ah no, then I will put characters after pinyin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

kittybasil · Answer

copypasted from Google Translate for tone accuracy: tā méiyǒu rènhé érzi, yě méiyǒu rènhé nǚ'ér 他没有任何儿子，也没有任何女儿。

kittybasil · Answer

idk if you learned "any" but that's "rènhé" or 任何

Vocaloid · Answer

yeah

I don't think renhe sounds natural in this case though

kittybasil · Answer

Hmm

kittybasil · Answer

Well, you could leave that out if it's not necessary. The meaning still gets across
