什么？:tongue: If you want to say 'I was right' you'd want to say 我正确了 wo3 zhèngquè le. Also, you can't use 是 with adjectives like 好, as they're considered verbs in their own sense. They're called 'stative verbs' and are something that can be quite counterintuitive to English speakers

我不要了 *that* ...

How do you say that?
Original post by L'Evil Fish
Ooh!

What does that sentence say?


Pinyin: hāhā， bù yòng xiè！
English: Haha, you're welcome/ don't worry about it etc.

不用谢 is basically another way of saying 不客气 which is the standardised way of saying 'You're welcome'. :smile:

To do that, it's all about reading text that has the character in it. There's this site that if you type in a character/phrase in Mandarin, it will come up with sentences but I can't remember the name of it. :s-smilie: You should search it up, it might help you with remembering characters if you're an 'in context' person.:smile:

Edit: Found the site, here's the link : http://www.nciku.com/

啊 doesn't really carry any solid meaning. It's just a particle used at the end of a sentence to express surprise or enthusiasm
