Ni hao,

I am in need of some Chinese-Mandarin everyday phrases or common words. I'm working on a story and I've used alot of the ones i've gotten out of Firefly, but I need more for a broader variety.

Xie xie,

Tara O'Shea doees keep an online Mandarin glossary here: http://ljconstantine.com/fanfic/glossary.htm

Have a look at some of her other posts on the subject here: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?keyword=firefly+mandarin

I hope those help, although they are not infinite. . . .

What're you looking for? I'm not a native speaker, but I lived in Beijing and took four years of Chinese. Of course, my main skill is that I have a ton of books, and can recommend some good slang and beginning phrase books. Or find what you want. What're you looking for? Email me: f3k64@yahoo.com
