Notes:
- 'Nǐ jiéhūn le méiyou?' and 'Nǐ jiéhūn le ma?' are the same questions in different forms.
- Chinese is a discourse oriented
language. There may be more than one clauses in
one long 'sentence'. You don't have to repeat the same subject in later
clauses. For example:
Tā jiéhūn le, yǒu tàitai, yǒu ērzi, méi you nǚer.
(He is married, has a wife, has a son, doesn't have a
daughter.)
