Thank you for your hard work. Your videos are very useful.
Here's a fun riddle for Chinese learners: What do these four things have in common -- fish, river, trousers, snake?
Thank you very much, Miss. Joyce. Your teaching style and your lesson plan have made Mandarin much more comfortable to learn.
Thank you for the scaffolded lesson that makes the material much easier to understand. I just wanted to share that the most appropriate and commonly used measure word for a dog is 条, while 只 is mostly used for a puppy.
Interesting. I had no idea.
You are very good teacher and I really like the way you teach ❤
Thankyou Miss Joyce, Chinese is really a very facinating language to learn for an English speaker
Thanks for making these videos.
It helped me continue learning Chinese.
感谢所有的辛勤工作。
Really easy for me, thank you so much. You make me feel so happy. I love it !! I love chinese classes !!! Hurray !!!
Glad you enjoyed our lessons, Edward.
@@EverydayChinese Gladded that you share it
This was very good. As you said in the beginning those of us handicap in chinese tent to say one this or that without the
M.W. good remainder, keep updating.
Jia you...
我很高兴我找到了这个。
谢谢 ❤
Lol hope I said that right. I'm still learning, but so happy that I am learning and trying harder every single day! Wish I had someone to practice with though. It's more difficult when you are a class of one!
What you said in Chinese is totally right. 加油！
Francis Li why are you happy that you have found this?
DIFFICULT ALONE INDEED..ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MEET CHINESE PEOPLE DAILY AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU IN THEIR LANGUAGE OR ARE STAND OFFISH! AS A PERSON OF AFRICAN DESCENT THEY JUST LOOK AT ME AS IF TO SAY "WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING LEARNING MY LANGUAGE?" SMH
@@LordNuDTru141 do you need help with chinese? I can help!

So helpful
Well done.Thanks.❤
This is a very good way to learn measure words.
Thank you ☺️☺️ very useful
Hello, I want to learn Chinese, I don't know English, so please we want to turn on the English translation feature so that we can translate, please🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good work
Thanks for the sharing. More Blessings!
The teacher did a wonderful job. Her voice for the most part was very clear and understandable. My only suggestion would be for her to learn better pronunciation of the English word "measure". Every time she said "measure", it sounded like she was saying the Chinese "Méiyǒu" (没有), leaving her to sound as if she was saying "没有 word". (That would mean "no word" or "don't have a word".)
I'm not trying to be overly critical. Far from it. I simply want to offer a suggestion that might polish her already fine presentation even further.
We got it, and thanks so much for your suggestion. 😃
Thanks for sharing
Good explanation 👍
Nice teacher
Excellent video🎊🎉
This video was useful.
Very nice lesson
谢谢您我的老师，我最爱您❤❤
Are there any measure words for nontangible nouns? That is to say words like marriage, agreement, concept, idea etc.
Very interesting

We use the measure word no matter the quantity of the noun we speak of?

Decide precisely why you wish to learn it
Try to use Mandarin in your everyday life
Find which process works for you best.
(I learned about these and more from Magic mandarin blueprint site )
Wo ai ni,Great thanks 😊

This is one the most difficult subjects..measure words…I have to learn by heart
Excellent!
非常好
谢谢 老师 尼泊尔 from Nepal
谢谢 🙏
Thanks you for teaching, by the way when we use 几and when we use多少。谢谢
When you ask the amount less than ten, you should use “几”， if the amount is more than ten, then you should use "多少".
EverydayChinese - Learn Chinese in Chinatown Thanks you
As I feel, as a native speaker, when you use 多少, you can skip the measure words, but you have to put them in if you use 几. E.g. 你有几本杂志/你有多少杂志？
老师好 . 谢谢您分享 .
Thank you so much! Simple and clear, you have do the marvellous job 🔥🔥🔥
非常感谢🙏
And what about ‘ge’?
Nice
How many key card do you have?

What is the meaning of measure words
Very useful
In what context could we use 只 for counting people instead of 个?
If you want to describe body parts, you can use 只，such as 一只手，一只脚，一只胳膊，一只眼睛。

Hi, thank you somuch for the lesson. I have 1 question in mind. why do you use yi (one) in different tones? is it depend on the object or any other reason? because i thought yi (one) is using the first one (-) Thank you
Yes, yi is special word. Its tone will change by the following words.
good vidio
老师学的很好❤谢谢老师
谢谢
Very useful! Thank you!
谢谢你教我 !
Great! Very useful! Zai jian!
Very helpful!
Glad you've benefited from it!
great video
Please this measure wards are used only in the number one?
Question. When is 只 not used? It says it's a m.w. for some animals, so what animals would you not use this m.w.?
Is their an easy rule to follow so one remembers when it's appropriate to use or not?
谢谢
fish use tiao (条)
Rule of thumb: if you can hold it in your hands, use 只. i.e. bird, mouse, etc.
Exception: If it fits into another category, use the M.W. for that category. Like gmcmisty said; fish uses 条. Even though you can hold it in your hands, it moves like a snake.
Livestock and large animals use tou, horses use pi, snakes use tiao.
One idea is to learn the appropriate m.w. at the same time when you learn a new noun.
Too may new words in this lesson. Bur I will learn them.
多谢！
Nice video
Ni hao mam. I want to learn
the measure word for big animals is tou (head) like: Yi tou niu (one cow) or yi tou ma (one horse). Zai Jian..!!
Horse is a special noun in Chinese, it should be yi pi ma (一匹马，one horse)
Good
小姐, 一杯茶, 谢谢
老师，感恩
大家好
Can ping mean bei?
Ping can also refer to jars, flasks, and vases. Bei is used with glasses or cups.
你好 ，可 谢谢你，我爱你❤
