1. How do you say _____ in Madarin? / What is _____ in Mandarin? 1. ___ 的中文是什麼 or ——的中文怎麼說? 1.—— in Chinese is what or —— in Chinese how to say? 2. How do you write ______ in Mandarin in kanji? 2. ——的漢字怎麼寫？ Shawn: Your second question sounds like you are saying a word in Chinese and asking someone to write the character for you. If that's the case, you don't need a person for that ... just use the computer to show you the proper Chinese stroke order. My guess is what you really mean to ask by your second question is: 2 revised. What's the Chinese characters for the English word ——. If my revised question is what you really mean, then sometimes, a Chinese person will be able to easily answer you as long as the word is something universal, such as pears, trees, cars. Every country has these things but if you are asking something abstract, there will be lots of characters that can mean what you are asking, depending on the context of the conversation. 3. How do you pronounce this word? 3. 這個漢字怎麼讀 but also ask 這個漢字的聲調是什麼？ 3.This character how to read （but also ask) this character's tone is what? The reason why I added the second question is some people will not correct your tone if you say the word using an incorrectly tone and that tone is how other Chinese people will be able to understand what you are saying.

4. Does this sound natural in Madarin? If what you mean by your forth question is, "Is my grammar correct?" then, say: 我的中文語法正確嗎? Allen Sun took your question literally but what he didn't say is, your question would not be understood in Chinese, because maybe you are asking if my pronounciation sounds like a native speaker and we both know the answer to that question. Another question you could ask instead of question 4 is: 我的聲調是對嗎？（Is my tone correct?) 5. How do you write _____ in pinyin? 5. ——的拼音和聲調是什麼？ 6. Does ______ mean ______ in English? Question 6 may not provide you with the information you are looking for unless you are saying an entire sentence. Lots of Chinese words mean more than one thing and therefore, a person can not answer if X means Y in English. Moreover, unless the Chinese person has studied English to a high degree, they may not know all of the English definitions of a Chinese character.
