Chinese basic lesson

I'll write some sentences I've learned in Chinese lately.

Chinese is a tonal language and I've learned that there must be either hen3 or ma with an adjective to say a sentence.

hen3 = very
ma = question mark
wei4 shen2 me = why
kan4 shui1 = read a book
wo3 = I
ta1 = He/she
dou1 = all/both
he2 = and
xiang3 = would like to
jian4 = meet someone,
tai4 = too
neng2 = can


wei4 shen2 me ni3 hen3 mang2 = why are you busy?

ta1 kan4 shu1 ma? = Does he read a book?

ta1 bu4 kan4 shu1 = He doesn't read a book?

wei4 shen2 me ta1 bu4 kan4 shu1 = Why does he not read a book?

Ta1 hen3 mang2 = He is busy.

xian2 zai4 = now

ta1 xian2 zai4 hen3 mang2 = he is busy now

wei4 shen2 me ta1 hen3 mang2 = why is he busy?

ta1 xian2 zai hen3 hao3 = he is ok now.

wei4 shen2 me ni3 xian2 zai4 hen mang2 = why are you busy now?

ta1 men xian2 zai4 bu4 hen3 mang2 ke3shi4 ta1 men hen3 hao3 - They are not very busy now but they're doing well.

ta1 he2 wo3 xian2 zai4 dou1 hen3 hao3 = He and I are both doing well.

ta1 xiang3 kan4 shu1

wo3 ye xiang kan shu keshi wo xian zai hen mang

xiang3 = want , think

wo xiang3 ni = i'm thinking on you

xo xiang3 chi fan = I want to eat
