Not as a year, as a number on its own. The equivalent of "one thousand, nine hundred and nine," "nineteen hundred and nine," or "one nine zero nine" would be fine. Normally I'd just go the one nine zero nine route, but I'm not aware of how zero is dealt with.

"It happened (one month/two years/ a long time) ago" ? Is it: 这发生两年前? please help :(

Is "Dàshēngde" ＂大声的＂还是＂大声地＂？ Also, is＂一直＂the correct character for "yìzhí"? Yìzhí supposedly means "to keep on doing something" Dàshēngde means "loudly"

The pin yin "Sh" is roughly the same as in english as in "shhhhh". And the vowel "i" in pin yin is pronounced "eee". I understand that the second tonal mark is a mid to high rising sound. So why isn't the word for 10 "Shí" pronounced "She" (ending with a high tonal inflection). Why is the "ee" sound turned into almost an "r" sound as in the word "shear"? Any help would be appreciated. xiè xiè

Is it: Ta1 jie3shi4 shuo1 ?

The sentence is wo3 zhi3 hui4 shuo1 yi1 dian3r. (I only can speak a little) is yi1 dian3r interchangeable with yi1 dian3, and is there any difference between the too?

Dajia hao. I’m learning Chinese, recently, I got a question about the word “不.” In the phrase “不好 (bu4hao3) not good,” “不” is the fourth tone, but in “不要 (bu2yao4) don’t,” “不” is the second tone. Can you please tell me which is right?

I know in mandarin if two 3rd tones are together, then the first one changes to a 2nd tone. Do they have to be in the same word compound, or can be two separate words just next to each other? for example. 我想念你-wo3 xiang3nian2 ni3- i miss you. "wo" is not part of "xiangnian", but does "wo" change to a second tone?

I know that if you want to say, for instance, "I am in my kitchen", you would have to say "wo zai wo de chu fang li". However, sometimes I see sentences like this where the "li" has been omitted. Is this just a form of abbreviation, like leaving out "shi" (to be)? Thanks in advance :)

If you are a native speaker, even better. If so then help me out please. pleaaase don't tell me to do it my self cause im not even interested in this course anymore too hard :( just fill in the blank and tell me what it is. 我 _____吃 早 餐 (i eat breakfast at seven) 我 _____ 上 学 (i leave to school at seven thirty) 我______万游 戏 < please tell me what this means its basically telling you to fill in the time but in characters but it seriously breaks my head, thanks.
