Chinese words
By:ray

girl 女孩 nv3 hai2
boy 男孩 nan2 hai2
cat 貓 mao2
dog 狗 gou3
water 水 shui3
peace 和平 he2 ping2
mom would be ma ma
dad = baba
grandmother---you have to know what side of the family she is on
little sister--meimei (pronounce like may may)
little brother- didi (deedee)
aunt,uncle cousin nephew...again you need to know what side of the family they are from etc....Chinese relationships each have a very specific name..probably because generations of chinese live in the same household together and just saying aunt or uncle would be very confusing...since they could well have the same surname and it would be rude to use their first name (if they have a first name and if they've told anybody what it is)--the rules are different in China
Qing wen. Ni hui bu hui shuo putonghua?
