SCRIPT

Hello everyone. Welcome to Bennysland. I am Benny, your Mandarin teacher. Today, I am going to teach you a very useful sentence, which is:

What would you like to drink?

In Chinese, we say,
“Nǐ xiǎng hē shénme?”
“Nǐ xiǎng hē shénme?”


“Nǐ” means “you.”
“Nǐ” means “you.”


“Xiǎng” is “would like to.”
“Xiǎng” is “would like to.”


And “hē” is “to drink.” “hē”

“Shénme”means “what.” “shénme.”

Therefore, the whole sentence is:
“Nǐ xiǎng hē shénme?”
“Nǐ xiǎng hē shénme?”

 

Alright guys, did you get it? Don't worry, come with me, let's see how we use it.
