is chinese language call as "zhong wen" or "han yu"? to ask "can you speak english ?" should i ask as ni hui shuo ying yu ma ?or Ni hui shou ying wen ma ?
Very good, thanks. If I could give any criticism (as someone who speaks very little chinese but am learning), it would be great if you could say it in normal speed like how you would in a conversation. You really enunciate the words. Which is great of course, but spoken by a native like on the streets or at the club or just in any "out and about" setting, I imagine they would speak it faster/less clear, no? I get that I just can say it faster myself, but as a beginner it would still be appreciated to hear you speak it in normal speed just one time like at the end of the video or something. Like after 1:13 it would be perfect to include because you already enunciated the words the whole video.
I'm Italian American, Swedish and black, but I grew up around a lot of Chinese Americans who spoke Cantonese. I'm still working on learning mandarin, but it's not easy. Speaking with people seems to help the most. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If someone says something to me in English and I want them to say it again, but in Mandarin....how do I say that in Mandarin. Basically I want to say "Say it again in Mandarin"
@Rebecca from ChinesePod Team This is perfect! Thanks so much. The context here is that my son is learning Mandarin in school and knows many words/sentences. I feel he should practice saying things in Mandarin daily, so that it becomes more natural for him. So he will ask me something simple in English like "What day is today". He knows how to say this in Mandarin...so now and then I want to remind him to speak to me in Mandarin (instead of English) so he will be in the habit of speaking that way. Thanks again!
The two sentences are not the same. 會 also means know 懂 Do you know Chinese？ 你會說中文嗎？ is similar to Do you know how to speak Chinese？ I know you know how to speak Chinese, but now can you speak Chinese? 你可以(跟我）説中文嗎？ is similar to（Can you speak Chinese?) In a word, in different situations, the two sentences are not the same.
会 means ‘can’ but it is only used if you ‘can do something because you learned it’. For example: 我会游泳。= I can swim (because I learned how to do it). 可以 also means can/may but it is used to ask permission for something, for example: 我可以照照片吗？“Can I take a photo?” ( Am I allowed to take a photo? Is it okay if I take a photo?)
Yeah, the other guys have got it. 会 is can for learnt abilities only 可以 is more for permission or it could be for light suggestions or requests. I gather ifyou WERE to ask someone '你可以說中文嗎', it is like asking someone 'could you speak Chinese?' maybe due to them not understanding whatever other language is spoken.
I am from taiwan,your chinese is very good!
我來自台灣，你的中文說的很不錯！
如果你看到，我希望你用中文回覆我:)

Maybe a short video to teach how to say the fifth tone would be a good idea? Thank you very much for all the great contents!
You're welcome. Thanks for your suggestion! We'll Definitely consider that in our upcoming lessons.
Great video. 会and 能 is more like do and can, the meaning can shift a little bit depends on the situation and the tone you use when using it.
Thanks!
Great video thank u
Thank you for the video! Can I substitute "会" with "能", and change the sentence to “你能说中文吗”?
Simple and easy to understand! Thanks! :D
Thank you!

I learned this five minutes before my Costco order arrived and completely shocked the delivery guy by saying it! He said my pronunciation was good 😂😅
吗 with the fifth tone, could you please list more examples of the fifth tone? Thank you.
are there any videos that help to understand the difference among 会, 可以, 能？
umm, very good! so how do I answer this? (yes, I can! but only a little bit)
很好👍

When would you use 中文 and when 汉语?
@Betty from ChinesePod Team I had that doubt, thanks
Nice
What dialect is this?
I like Chinese
Imagine watching this video while you could speak chinese
if "会" means "can", then can i change to sentence to "你可以说中文吗"??
good video again!!!
The two sentences are not the same.
會 also means know 懂
Do you know Chinese？
你會說中文嗎？ is similar to Do you know how to speak Chinese？
I know you know how to speak Chinese, but now
can you speak Chinese?
你可以(跟我）説中文嗎？ is similar to（Can you speak Chinese?)
In a word, in different situations, the two sentences are not the same.
会 means ‘can’ but it is only used if you ‘can do something because you learned it’.

@@Lupangdeyiji Well put!
Yeah, the other guys have got it.
会 is can for learnt abilities only
可以 is more for permission or it could be for light suggestions or requests. I gather ifyou WERE to ask someone '你可以說中文嗎', it is like asking someone 'could you speak Chinese?' maybe due to them not understanding whatever other language is spoken.
Nice video, but how to pronounce the fifth tone?
The fifth tone is also known as the light tone or just as toneless. It's really just like a short first tone, no real emphasis.
Its perfect. Yes
Thank you so much! you’re so beautiful, great explanation:)
Nice simple video! Hopefully we can learn some different responses next time!
Hi Julie, watch out for more How To Say videos soon. And yes, we do have a video about the response for this one. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
well, this is a nice video. But I guess if you teach them how to say “我不太会说中文” is better since they may use it more often than “你会说中文吗”.
我会说一点儿 ☺️
That's great. Keep on practicing!
我会说汉语。 也会说英文和法文。
I thought that Zohngguo ren is chinese?
Then why do some say “ni ke yi jiang hua yi ma”
