Hi all,
Another quick fix, the “me”(么) in “shenme” (什么)is a traditional character on the simplified transcript in the complete section.

Adam: The salesman then continues.
Kirin: Nǐ yīnggāi yào mǎi 你應該要買你应该要买You should buy it .
Adam: ”Yīnggāi” shì shénme yìsi “应该” 是什麼意思What does “yīnggāi” mean ? We saw it back in lesson 48 meaning “should.” So the literal translation here is “You should want buy.”
继续加油!

Hello Adam,
I just wanted to ask the difference between:
wo3 xiang3 mai3 zhe4 jian4 yi1fu2
na3li3 ke3yi3 shi4chuan1 zhe4xie1 ku4zi?(podcast review)
Jian1 is the mesure word for clothes right?
but i don t understand why then in the second sentence we dont use it.
Thanks
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Great question! Measure words are used when you are specifying a certain quantity of items. Zhe4xie1 can be used with any measure word and represents “these”, so no measure word is required. It is used when the actual number isn’t important.
You can get more examples by searching for “zhexie” in the word bank. Hope that helps!
