Peace and love to you all.
If you have a gun in your hand I won't vote for you and if You're fighting one of these I won't vote for you either.
For post 2 lets start with HSK 3.0 level 1 theory and words
Relevant new characters
你 nǐ you
您 nín a polite way to say “you”
好 hǎo good, fine. There are many other uses but this is what is relevant for now.
们 men this is a plural marker, so instead of the word changing like in English, this is tacked on to the end of a word to indicate there are multiple people as the subject. So 你(you) can become 你们 (you all)
Words
你好 [hello] ní hǎo Yes you are saying [you good]
您好 [hello (polite)] nín hǎo
你们好 [hello (plural)] nǐ men hǎo
Conversation
To reply to someone saying hello to you, you can just say the same thing in return. Like:
person a: 你好 [hello]
person b: 你好 [hello]
A note on tones
Sometimes depending on the pair, tones will change because of what they are next to, so if there are two third tones, the first one will become a second tone. This can be seen in the phrase 你好, where 你 becomes second tone.
Because we aren’t learning how to pronounce here I won’t be mentioning this too often, but please keep this in mind and do extra research if you want to speak Mandarin.
Also please keep in mind that sometimes the pinyin I post won’t reflect this, if that is the case, it was an accident TvT and I am sorry for any confusion.
