Tes Dong guys, but we're not. Okay, so the next word is one of the most common ones you'll ever hear. You've probably heard this already. It's shisha. And this means Thank you, we're not going to look at the character because they're very complicated. If you're interested in that, you can go to our course where I break them down and make it very interesting along with that.

So for now, let's not look at the characters. Let's instead just look at their opinion, which is the letters we can recognize. It's pronounced shish, shisha. And note here how Chinese repeats itself it loves doing that. And we've already seen that before, for instance, in pepper, and now it's shisha as well. And so that happened so many times in Chinese, and thankfully in the word shisha as well, so it makes it easier to remember.

Anyway, so shisha is Thank you. And the easiest way to say you're welcome is simply by saying no, thank you literally translated No, thanks. So for sheer, sheer so using the pool that we just learned together with shear, we get no thanks. One last A little side note here is that if a Chinese person for instance brings you some tea, and then you say, Oh, thank you and they say No, thank you. But they're actually saying No thank you, as in there's no need to thank me as in You're welcome. It's just that they've translated literally from Chinese, which gets a bit awkward sometimes, so no thank you means you're welcome.

If you're Chinese Emperor is English. Hello. Ah,
