Week 7

我们一起跟被把!(Let's toast together!)
I have officially survived Week 7, which is all about making requests! Lesson 12 delves into a bunch of different questions relating to requests that you could ask someone. It also explains the term "optative verbs" which in this case are verbs that express wishes or hopes and are placed before the main verb to express wishes, desires, obligations, capabilities, possibilities, or to give permission.

要,想,应该,得,能,可以,会

yao- want, will, to be going to, have to, should

xiang- want, intend, would like to

yinggai- should, ought to, to be supposed to

dei- have to, to be required to

neng- to have to ability to, can, can (depending on circumstances), permission-may

keyi- permission-may, can (depending on circumstances)

hui-know how to, have the ability to, be likely to, will

we also learned some of the following phrases:

怎么说。。。
中文怎么说。。。
请说译本(一次)。。。
轻慢嗲日说。。。

我可以接你的车?
我有一辆车。

Friday in class we worked on our script discussing how to convince someone to let you use their car! It was really fun and funny too!

在见!
