      Notes 注 释

      ➊ The word “xiān shēng” in Chinese is equivalent to “sir” or “gentleman” in English and is used as a formal and respectful title for adult males outside the family. In Chinese, “husband” can be said as zhàng fu, xiān shēng, ài ren or lǎo gōng. Zhàng fu is used formally. In casual settings, people use lǎo gōng. Xiān shēng can be used in either situation. Similarly, “wife” can be qī zi, tài tai, ài ren or lǎo pó in Chinese. Qī zi is a formal term; lǎo pó is a casual term; and tài tai can be used in either formal or casual situations. The genderless term ài ren means “spouse.”

      ➋ Pay special attention to the word “ta.” When you hear “ta” in Chinese, it indicates “he (him),” “she (her),” or “it” depending on the conversation context, because these three different characters are all pronounced exactly the same way. Similar to English, though, the written characters are different in Chinese. “Ta” written as 他 tā means “he (him)”; “ta” written as 她 tā means “she (her)”; and “ta” written as 它 tā means “it.”

      ➌ Two quick things to note about the pinyin ǚ: (1) When pinyin j, q, x, or y is used before ü, the two dots on top of it should be omitted, as in the word yú “fish.” (2) when n or l is in front of ü, the two dots should be kept, as in nǚ ér (“daughter”) in the dialog.
