Can someone tell me if this is the MOST casual/common way of saying the following words in chinese? 1. ni3 hao3=hello 2. xie4 xie4=thank you/thanks 3. bu2 yong4 xie4=your welcome 4. zai4 jian4=good bye ***5. shi4=yes?---//or should I say-- : shi4 de=yeah? ***6. shi4=am/is/are/was/were/to be? 7. qing3=please 8. Ni3-hao3, wo3 jiao4 (**my name**).=Hello, I called **(my name)**. (when intruducing myself to others) Thanks in advance. I do not want to speak fancy, I just want to learn how to speak like the average chinese culture speaks, because if it's anything like "proper english", I don't speak like an english professor, and the majority of the average americans don't either. I just want to know how it is normally spoken, not how it is written straight out of a text book.Ooops. Sorry again. on # 3---- I mean "you're welcome". I text on the phone all the time, so I keep forgetting to type the difference between "you're" and "your" when I'm typing on the computer. :) I do that alot :) thanks
