Life Lessons from Aesop's Fables

Episode 2: Belling the Cat

Lily:汤姆，我记得你有个弟弟是吧？

Tom:是的。

Lily:他多大了?

Tom:他9了。

Lily:9了？你是想说他9岁是吗？

Tom:是的，我的一个中国朋友说他35了，所以我弟弟9了。

Lily:其实在口语中，回答年龄时，1到10需要加“岁”，10以上可以不加“岁”。比如“我28”或者“我28了”，又或者“我28岁了”，都正确，所以你弟弟多大了？

Tom:嗯～他9了

Lily:  →_→  →_→ →_→

Lily:Tom ，wǒ jì dé nǐ yǒu gè dì dì shì ba ？

Tom:shì de 。

Tom: ～tā 9 le 

Lily:  →_→  →_→ →_→


-----------------------------------------------
Lily: Tom, I remember you had a brother, right?

Tom: Yes.

Lily: How old is he?

Tom: He's 9了.

Lily: 9了? Are you trying to say he's 9 years old?

Tom: Yes, a Chinese friend of mine said he was 35le, so my brother is 9了.

Lily: Actually, in spoken language, when answering age, 1 to10 need to add "years old", more than 10 can not  add "years old".For example  I'm 28 or I'm 28了, or I'm 28岁了，All right, so how old is your brother?

Tom: Hmm~ he's 9了

Lily: →_→ →_→ →_→
