Hello Happy English

Students: How to Prepare for First ITalki Lesson!

В этом выпуске мы узнаем, кто пришёл за котом. Девушка очень удивилась! 
Ниже я оставлю тебе текст. Постарайся слушать и читать вместе со мной.


Уже прошло три дня. Кот был всё ещё у меня дома. 
Я не знала, что делать с ним. Я давала ему тёплое молоко. Он был очень спокойный и тихий. Вдруг вечером кто-то постучал в дверь. Я открыла дверь и увидела мужчину. Он спросил меня : “Вы не видели тут чёрного кота?”. Я очень обрадовалась и сказала ему, что он у меня дома. Мужчина увидел кота и узнал его. “Это мой кот Мурзик! Извините, он потерялся и я его искал. Я очень рад, что нашёл его. Большое спасибо!”
Мужчина взял кота на руки и ушёл. Я даже не успела спросить его, что он делал в лесу, так далеко от города.

Here are five simple expressions to say "no" in Chinese with simple examples:
1. 不 (bù) - This is a simple and common way to say "no" in Chinese. It can be used in a variety of contexts and is a general negative word.
Example:
A: 你喜欢苹果吗？ (nǐ xǐ huān píng guǒ ma?) (Do you like apples?)
B: 不 (bù) (No)
I normally don’t answer people with just a simple 不 to say no, because it sounds rude. But if you are in a fight with someone, I guess it is a good language tool.
2. 不要 (bù yào) - This phrase means "don't want" or "don't." It can be used to say "no" in a more polite or indirect way.
Example:
A: 吃蛋糕吗？ (chī dàn gāo ma?) (Do you want to eatcake?)
B: 不要，谢谢。 (bù yào, xiè xiè) (No, thank you.)
3. 不行 (bù xíng) - This phrase means "can't" or "not allowed." It can be used to say "no" in a more formal or assertive way.
Example:
A: 你能给我五块钱吗？ (nǐ néng gěi wǒ wǔ kuài qián ma?) (Can you give me five dollars?)
B: 不行，我没有五块钱。 (bù xíng, wǒ méi yǒu wǔ kuài qián) (No, I don't have five dollars.)
5. 不可以 (bù kě yǐ) - This phrase means "cannot" or "not allowed." "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is often used to indicate that something is not allowed or not permitted. 
Example:
A: 妈妈，我能去朋友家玩吗？ (mā ma, wǒ néng qù péng you jiā wán ma?) (Mom, can I go to my friend's house to play?)
B: 不可以，你还没有完成你的作业。 (bù kě yǐ, nǐ hái méi yǒu wán chéng nǐ de zuò yè) (No, you have not finished your homework yet.)
