- 成语 · 马马虎虎 — Horse-horse-tiger-tiger: so-so, and the story of how careless gets you killed.
- 您 · Politeness you can see — 您 is 你 with a heart underneath. That is the whole difference.
- 评 · Comment on your surroundings — Point at something real and say what you notice. This alone is a complete strategy — caveman Chinese is correct Chinese.
- 问 · Ask about their life — Hometown, family, children, grandchildren, work. Memorize a few of these — they get a person to open up about their past.
- 问 · 哪儿 Where — 哪儿 and 哪里 are the same question. It sits where the answer goes, so the word order never moves.
- 问 · 什么 What — 什么 attaches to the noun it asks about: 什么工作, 什么东西, 什么好吃的.
- 问 · 有…吗 Do you have — 有 + noun + 吗 is the whole question. Nothing else changes.
- 问 · 谁 Who — 谁 goes where the person goes: 这是谁 asks about the subject, and the same word would ask about the object.
