Mandarin usage notes

Everyday forms

Mandarin uses 我wǒ for I and 你nǐ for you; age does not change these basic forms.

Politeness and plurals

您nín (nín) is a respectful form of you. Add 们men (men) to many personal pronouns to make a plural.

Same sound, different characters

他tā, 她tā, and 它tā all sound tā. Their written characters distinguish he, she, and it.

Why this is good practice

Small words, useful distinctions 🛂

Mandarin uses 我wǒ for I, 你nǐ for you, and 您nín for a respectful you. 他tā, 她tā, and 它tā sound alike but have different written forms.

Start from the English scene, pick the Chinese pronoun, and listen to the sentence. The usage notes explain respectful forms, plurals, and possession with 的de.
