Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
你好
nǐ hǎo
Hello
我叫
wǒ jiào
My name is
💬 [我叫] is the natural way to say your name in Chinese: [我叫王丽]. You usually don't add a separate word for "am" here.
See breakdown →你的
nǐ de
Your
💬 [的] after a pronoun shows possession: [你的衣服] = "your clothes," [我的朋友] = "my friend." So [你的] works like "yours/your …" depending on what comes next.
See breakdown →衣服
yī fú
Clothes
你的衣服
nǐ de yī fú
Your clothes
💬 [的] links the owner to the thing owned: [你的衣服], [她的包], [我的手机]. It's a very reusable pattern for "someone's something."
See breakdown →真漂亮
zhēn piào liàng
Really beautiful
💬 [真] before an adjective often means "really" in an immediate, genuine way: [真漂亮], [真好看], [真有意思]. It sounds more natural for a spontaneous compliment than a direct word-for-word "very."
🇨🇳 [真漂亮] sounds warm and natural for complimenting someone's style, especially about clothes or overall look. To make it land well with someone you just met, it's usually better to aim it at their outfit or taste than at their body.
See breakdown →谢谢
xiè xiè
Thank you
我很喜欢
wǒ hěn xǐ huān
I really like
💬 [很] here often doesn't mean strongly "very" — it helps the sentence sound complete before an adjective or feeling word. You can reuse the frame with other verbs of preference too: [我很想去], [我很喜欢这个颜色].
See breakdown →这件
zhè jiàn
This (measure word for clothing)
💬 [件] is the counting word for clothing and some other wearable items: [这件衣服], [那件外套], [两件衬衫]. Use [这] + measure word + noun for "this …" patterns.
