Still hot, and we're hot and ready to go. Okay, so this part of the course is going to be more family related. We're simply going to learn the mom and dads and all of those words, and all of your boyfriend and girlfriends if there's plural of them, and how to pronounce them and how to introduce him to other people. Hope that makes you excited enough to stay. Because the first thing I want to talk to you about then is the character book. Okay?

It's actually the most common character in the entire language here. This sort of has one vague notion to it as one vague meaning to it. This does sort of has the same meaning in every context, but it can be used in so many different situations that it's just incredible. Okay, so we can simply say that de basically says it someone says so you can say Felix's, and that would be Felix de, you can say Sarah's and that would be Sarah, Sarah de. And now if you want to get a bit more complicated here, then we add another character, which would be I for instance. So it's interesting here, you don't actually you don't change the words If you just say I and then at the end so it's belongs to I so it's war wonderful what is I?

And thought means belonging to that one. So belonging to me in this case what the wonderful we have feelings that we have what that you can say us that would be neat. We can say his or hers or it's that'll be tada that's fantastic that is truly amazing. Now if we want to make longer sentences maybe we want to say that is mine or something then we would just point at something and go near go and remember now we use to be but not a location it's just something that is so sure. Just like I am Felix that is mine. Okay.

Washer Felix would be mine Felix and now it's that is so nega shirt, and they just say mine and that would be what up so notice that my or mine is two words in English but just one word in Chinese. Again another very good example of where we have to learn many words in English, which is one of them in Chinese. Fantastic, isn't it? So we can say nigga sure what that that one is mine. Or we can switch the nigga to Dave as in this is mine Giga sure water examples for this then will be like sugar sugar water this is mine This is my phone for instance sugar water and if it's his or her so we'll be Sugar Sugar tada tada please please. If it's yours then we will just say Titian, Nita Nita, this is yours.

And at this point now we're starting to run out of time to give you all the different sentences and it's very exciting times now Domino, actually because we know so many words that we can't even sum them up in one video or them different sentences that we can make with them. So I would instead implore you to do that on your own. You can comment under the video and come up with a sentence on your own writing opinion with an alphabet that you are used to already you do that instead and that will be completely fantastic. Before you do that. I just want to show you how this can be used in real life where you point at something you go that's mine, or that's Hearst or asking is that yours adding a mark at the end Whoa,
