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 :)

it's my first time to learn Chinese languge

I'm planning on taking the test in November. Does anyone have any tips to help me out? I especially need help preparing for the speaking section. I don't think I'll have much trouble on the written part. Here's my current learning schedule: Listen to music (on the way to class and during leisure time) Watching dramas/news/other TV shows (in the evenings) Lang-8 (once a week) Talking with friends (weekends) Any other tips to help me remember characters, tones, or anything else I'll need?

I'm studying Chinese and I have to know how to write 101, 102, 103 because I've only learnt 1 - 90+

I keep finding that the above is a Chinese proverb but cannot find any of the Chinese characters to accompany the proverb. Thus, I wonder if it is at all a Chinese proverb.

I think I have the beginning right ,"Nǐhǎo, wǒ jiào _____." After that I'm not sure.

Can a fluent/well Mandarin Chinese speaker please translate these phrases into Mandarin characters? Thank you! :) "mouse ears" "flu mask"

I wrote a sentences: 妹妹的头发很长 (mei4mei de tou2fa hen3 zhang3), but my Chinese teacher said there was a mistake in Chinese pinyin of this sentence. I can’t find it out. Can you please help me?

Genicology (I mean a doctor who treats women) Ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder)

1) What is the name of this impressive singer ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AHllSK7a9k 2) Is he the same singer than in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5q4cL9qZQI In the song, at around 0:30 the singer says Fao Guo, not Fuwu Guo 服国 I thought it meant service, but service is "Fuwu" and it is written: 服 What does Fao mean ?

I made the mistake of thinking that Country meant Wang 王in Wéi 囗, meaning "the king within his borders", or meaning "bordered authority". That made sense to me. But I was perplexed when I learned that country is "jade-in-mouth". Was it from an emperor that united the Chinese people under one banner and that "jade-in-mouth" signifies his ceremonial burial, as an honor to this emperor that there could be no mother land without his accomplishment ? Was it an emperor of the Han dynasty ? If so who was that emperor from which Guo 国, Jade-in-mouth, originated ? I am made like that, I cannot learn something if I don't understand it. I must understand the history of Guo 国 in order to be able to accept that it means country. Thanks.

Does it have anything to do with a certain emperor of the Han dynasty ? If so what did this emperor do, unify the Chinese people in it's first state ?

So! I guess what I need is a Chinese girl's name. It would be good for it to start with "Ju" or something like that, because my name is Julia, and I would like something similar to it. Or if I could be linked to a site with lists of names+pinyin, that would be great.
