Learning Chinese Lesson Four

We aleady know 一 is one, 二 is two, then, guess what is 十？

The cross 十 is ten.  Eh, a little bit surprised.

From this lesson, I will not teach the pronunciation of each char. Instead, I suggest you to look up the char in online dictionary and listen to its pronunciation.

Let’s continue, by add a square to 十, it’s 田 which means the field.

力 means the force.

男 means the man, who can work at the fields.

女 means the woman.

西 means west

要 means want,  it’s also a little bit surprised.

At last, we study a short sentence, 要不要？which means do you need？do you want? And you can answer 要(that is yes), or 不要（that is no）.

Please be noted, although 不 is “deny definitely”, 不要 sometimes equals to 要, depending on its contexts. If you cann't judge, you must ask again to confirm.

OK. Let's call it a day. And from next lesson, we will study Chinese by short dialogues in some common daily life scenes.
