Hi, dàjiā hǎo. Welcome to Bennysland. Do you often take a taxi? Today’s experience will teach you basic sentences when riding a taxi, so you don’t need to stage a small private pantomime when giving the taxi driver directions!
|
dài |
带 |
take |
|
guǎi |
拐 |
turn |
|
zuǒ |
左 |
left |
|
yòu |

|

|

here |
|
nǎli |
哪里 |
where |
|
dìtiě |
地铁 |
subway |
|
dìtiězhàn |
地铁站 |
subway station |
To tell the taxi driver where you are going to go, you can say:
|
Qǐng dài wǒ qù... Please take me to... |
请带我去... |
|
Dìtiězhàn zài nǎli? Where is the subway station? |
地铁站在哪里？ |
Add your destination at the end of this sentence. Now talk to the driver as if you know the exact direction:
|
Zuǒ guǎi. Turn left. |
左拐。 |
|
Yòu guǎi. Turn right. |
右拐。 |
|
Zhí zǒu. Go straight. |
直走。 |
|
Tíng zhèli. Stop here. |
停这里。 |
You’d better to practice more, because you don’t want the taxi driver to take you to a wrong place or in the opposite direction, right? Ok, xiàcì jiàn!
It's easy as ABC!
