Hey guys, Felix from Domino Chinese here. back at you with another very exciting video. This one is about how to say yes or no in Chinese and hypocrites would say no, no, no, no, there is no way to say that. Haha, they would laugh at you at the end. But I will just say Yes there is. And that is sure.

Okay, that is yes. And the way to negate that would then be to say no. Yes. So buscher that will be no, so sure. Bullshit, but they're hypocrites. Why would they say this, then?

Well, because, yes, isn't actually the same as correct and true means correct. If you think of it, if I say, Are you not from Sweden? You'd say yes. I'm from Sweden. If you translate that yes to correct, it'd be like, correct. I'm from Sweden, but the question was, are you not from Sweden?

Correct? I yeah. You see the confusion here. So the idea here is that we cannot translate shoe really to yes or to No, but instead to correct or incorrect. So you have to listen to what people say and answer accordingly. Just pay attention to that because we all should not and that means correct or Yes As of now, let's listen to how we can use it simply Sure, sure.

Sure, sure, sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. You can say more times if you'd like that as what you say Sure.

Sure. Sure. Sure. As up if you'd like to you can say sure more than once you can also add up at the end so you can say ship or you can say shoe are and both are fine and you're fantastic. Now like I also explained you can say bullshit as negating the correct making it incorrect. So sure would be basically no then for sure.

For sure. For sure. pusher, pusher pusher pusher. Now the show is quite interesting because it means yes or no basically, but it also serves as a verb and the most common verb that is it means to be but another thing here that will strike us strikingly easy about Chinese is that we don't conjugate verbs that meaning. We don't say I am you are she is and all Those verbs are from to be instead we just simply say shirt and we never change a thing. Okay?

So that would mean I am is the same as you are. Okay, so the shirt will be used for all of those and they are and she is and all of those, okay? And this doesn't only go for sure this goes for all the verbs in Chinese. Imagine what we have we have a character we can't change it simply and we're thankful for that because we just have to learn less. So let's try and make some senses then we can say I am Felix. Almost like my name is Felix.

I am Felix washer, Felix, or we could say you are Felix. Nice. Sure, Felix. make that into a question. Add a little mark at the end. And it's our you Felix it could be like she's Felix, Tasha Felix or Tasha Felix may be pointing at a guy saying he's Felix Hmm.

I think Mark always makes it into a question. Remember that all? I think it's time for some real life action now. Please enjoy. What's your stephie Sure. Felix Ma.
