Hello, everyone. Welcome to Hello Chinese. Last course, we learned how to greet people and then introduce one's name. In this course, we are going to learn how to introduce one's nationality. We are from different countries. The aim is to learn some more basic and helpful Chinese through this lesson. Chinese is like bridge, in that it's connecting you and me. I'm from China. Wo shi Zhongguo ren. Ni ne? And you? Ni shi na guo ren Where are you from? Na means where, Guo is country Ni shi na guo ren. Your response should be, Wo shi and your nationality. Let's learn some countries name. How to say US? Meiguó. Yingguo is Great Britain, Germany, Déguó. We don't always say the word country after every name. For example, Japan, Rìben. Spain, Xibanyá. And then how to response. Ni shi na guo ren. If you are from UK, your response should be, "Wo shi Yingguo ren." Wo shi Yingguo ren. Ta shi Make. Ta shi Meiguo ren. Ta shi Aimili. Ta shi Yingguo ren. If you ask Emily, "Ni shi Meiguo ren ma?" Ni shi Meiguo ren ma? "Are you American?" She will response, "Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yinggou ren." Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yinggou ren. Bu means not. It is used before the word to negate. I'm not American, I'm British. Ma is a very common interrogative which always appears at the end of the sentences and express a simple question. Nin shi Meiguo ren ma? Nin shi Meiguo ren ma? Nin mean you. We use nin to express respect. Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yingguo ren. Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yingguo ren. In today's episode, Mark met Li Jia and Emily in a juice bar. Let's take a look at what they said. Nimen hao. Ni hao, Make, ta shi Aimili. Aimili, ta shi Make. Make, ni hao. Aimili, ni hao. Nin shi Meiguo ren ma? Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yingguo ren. We'll watch the clip a second time so we can repeat the lines used in the episode. Nimen hao. Ni hao, Make, ta shi Aimili. Aimili, ta shi Make. Make, ni hao. Aimili, ni hao. Nin shi Meiguo ren ma? Wo bu shi Meiguo ren, wo shi Yingguo ren. So today's episode, we have learned some vocabulary and phrases related to introducing nationality. I hope you all had fun. Don't forget to do the quiz in the next section. See you next time.
