        你好吗? How do I say: to pretend to do somethings like they’re pretending to be nice but they’re not really nice. OR to pose as something that you’re not. Ex:he’s posing as French person but he’s really German. 
Also, which word do Chinese people use for “to try”? I’m trying to do something. I’m trying some Chinese food. What is the word for sample and to sample? Ex: would you care to sample this bread? Yes, it’s a sample.
Xie xie and thank you!

Pretend = jiā zhuāng 
Tā jiǎ zhuāng hěn kè qì = He pretends to be nice 
To try = shì yi xià/ shì shì kàn 
Sample = yàng pìn 
zhè ge shì yàng pǐn = This is a sample 
But sample a bread would make no sense in Chinese. We never use sample like this.
