It is our fate at Popup Chinese to be surrounded by beautiful and talented men and women. So it isn't any surprise that our camera gets whipped out on occasion and we all indulge in The Deuce. You want in the picture too? Join us today as we learn the basics of telling left from right and counting to three. Because you're a beautiful person and we're glad to have you around.

The deuce? Works for me. I always called it the victory sign, which got old pretty quickly one you realized people weren't actually celebrating anything. Just totally random.
I give it a couple of years before people start doing this in major American cities too. I personally import the tradition every time I'm back now.

@sseamon - this is really strange. There is definitely a bug somewhere we'll have to track down. At least we know we're not crazy - it was up earlier.Republishing should fix the problem. Yeah, there it is. Really strange and silly. Sorry for the inconvenience guys -- I'll definitely be looking into this. :(

What is the difference between wang3 and dong4? They were both translated at as "move"
craigrut
said on April 28, 2012
Any of the teachers can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is like this:往 is typically only used for directions, like move to your right, move to your left. You can't use 动 to say 动右 or 动左 etc.动 is used to mean any action at all, in this case it is used to say like 'stay as you are' so that the picture can be taken.There might be an easier way to explain it than that, but worth a try :).

@magdalence.friesen& craigrut,Firstly, a better translation of wang3 is toward rather than to move. Also, dong4 is a verb while wang3 actually is a preposition. So dong4 can be used independently, but wang3 need to be used with other verbs. The structure is wang3+direction/ location+verb. For example, 往前走 （wang3qian2zou3）, walk forward.--Amberamber@popupchinese.com

你们好！我有一个问题。。其实两个问题。What does it mean when you add 是 before a verb? Like when Echo said in one of the comments "你是住在中国的南方吗?" and I know for example "你是做什么的？” means “What do you do?/What is your job?" but I don't understand what the 是 is there for.My other question is how to use the ending particles like 啊，呀，哦，哦。。。Are they all just used to express surprise or doubt..? Also when should you use one or the other? I'm guessing this may just be something you learn through practicing with native speakers.
Echo
said on June 15, 2012
@kay_kay1424,第一个问题：“是...的” is a set structure, using to emphasize the action in the sentence.第二个问题：It depends on the context. Usually 啊 and 呀 are used to express surprise or emphasize something. 哦 is used to say that you have already known something. Northerners don't use these ending particles as much as Southerners in China.--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
kay_kay1424
said on June 16, 2012
那可以说？： 我在美国是念书的.我是学中文的。Can you use 啊/呀 with questions？ Like, "她是你的妈妈呀？好像你的姐姐啊。And for 哦 could I use it like this? Ａ: 我从中国回来了。Ｂ: 哦。（已经知道了）
Echo
said on June 16, 2012
@kay_kay1424,Yes, all correct. Excellent! 非常棒！--Echoecho@popupchinese.com

How often do people use that lispy S? I think you said in the previous podcast that it's common in "these parts". So where might it be heard most? Thanks!
