Question

Integrated Chinese Lessons 5 Study Guide

Answer 1

will be focusing on characters, not pinyin this time since it's not going to be on our exam tomorrow (still have to know how the character is pronounced, though)

\({\bf{Lesson~5:}}\) Meeting with Friends
进来 jin(4) lai(2), to come in
can add a modifier, 快 kuai(4) to mean quickly
so 请来，快, 进来 => polite but insistent request to come in

介绍 jie(4) shao(4) = to introduce
坐 zuo(4), looks like two 人 sitting at a table, easy to remember how it looks

speaking of introductions, as a response to being introduced you can say （我）认识你很高兴
to meet (认识) you (你) very happy (高兴)
我认识你也很高兴 --> nice to meet you, also (也)

高兴 gao(1)xing(4) (happy) is a new adjective introduced in this lesson, along with
票亮 piao(4)liang(0) (pretty)
try not get the characters for gao and liang mixed up as they have the same radicals on the top

Answer 2

another main focus of this lesson is on drinks

水 shui(3), meaning water
茶 cha(2), meaning tea
咖啡 kafe (11), meaning coffee

for containers we have
杯 bei(1), meaning cup, which combines the radicals for "tree" and "no" for some reason?
瓶 ping(2), meaning bottle

so 一杯咖啡 = a cup of coffee

喝 he(1), meaning drink, notice the similarity between 唱, the lower right radical is different

Answer 5

misc. vocab from lesson 5

对不起 duibuqi (403) meaning sorry, combining the characters 对 (right) 不 (not) and 起 (to start/torise)

可以 keyi (33) to be able to, using the same 可 from 可乐
要 yao(4) to want

talking about locations --> 在 zai(4) to be located at/in/on, functions as a verb or a preposition depending on sentence structure
哪儿 na/nar (30) --> where?
so ______ 在哪儿? ---> where is ________
new location introduced: 学校 xuexiao (24) meaning school; uses 学 which means to study

Answer 6

two new particles, that both soften the tone of a sentence

ya and ba
呀 ends questions; 吧 ends commands

two ways to say "a little" or to a slight extent
一下 一点
similar meaning but 一下 emphasizes the verb and 一点 emphasizes the object

Answer 7

Lesson 5 dialogue 2 is pretty short (not really a dialogue tbh)

we introduce some new verbs to use to describe friend gatherings
玩儿 wan(er) (2) to have fun/hang out/play
聊天 (liaotian) (21), to chat. this character 聊 is kind of a pain to write but try to make it look like one concise character instead of three separate radicals. same 天 for "sky"

new location introduced: 图书馆 tushuguan (213), meaning library. 书 means book, as we learned before. the first radical 图 means diagram (kind of looks like a book if it helps you remember), 馆 means building

回家 (huijia) (21), 回 meaning to return, 家 meaning home. 回 is basically the radical kou enclosed in a box, and 家 if you remember from before, is the character for pig under the roof radical

才 cai(2); not until

Answer 8

this is actually getting a bit longer than expected so I'm gonna put lesson 6 stuff in another tut.
