M: Péngyǒumen. Nǐmen hǎo! Wǒ shì ML.

S: Wǒ shì Stuart. Hear ML say - SHOU TING shōutīng? Remember, it means ‘to listen in to'. Huānyíng shōutīng Xiànzài Xué Hànyǔ.

M: Well, we've learnt to ask someone your age or younger their age. Now we'll learn how to ask someone who's definitely older than you.

S: We'll get a bit more formal, and use 您nín, the polite form of nǐ. Listen, tīng, and repeat, chóngfù. And try to guess what 年纪 niánji means.

M:白先生,您多大年纪了?Bái xiānsheng, nín duō dà niánji le?

S: 我六十七岁 wǒ lìu shí qī suì.

M: Mrs. Ma 马女士,您多大年纪了? Mǎ nǚshì, nín duō dà niánji le?

马:我五十九岁 wǒ wǔ shí jǐu suì.

M: Everybody now ask Mr. Li, who is older than you, his age.

S: Hěn hǎo. 李先生,您多大年纪了 Lǐ Xiānshēng, nín duō dà niánji le?

M: And answer, I'm 84.

S: Méi cuò. 我八十四岁 wǒ bā shí sì suì. bā shí sì suì

S: So, did you guess what 年纪 niánji, means? Yes, niánjì means ‘age', the age of a person, not the age in Information Age. So, 您多大年纪了?

M: It is like 你多大了, which we learnt in the previous lesson. We just add 年纪NIAN JI niánji.

S: Now, everybody ask me how old I am. Pretend I'm older than you.

M: Hěn hǎo. 白先生,您多大年纪了?Bái xiānshēng, nín duō dà niánjile?

S: 100. 一百岁 yì bǎi suì. Not really. Now ask old Ms. Zhao, that's Mànlì, how old she is. ……. Méi cuò. 赵女士,您多大年纪了? Zhào nǚshì, nín duōdà niánji le?

M: 99. 我九十九岁 wǒ jǐu shí jǐu suì.

S: Now guess the meaning of this: 九十九岁 jǐu shí jǐu suì, 她已经很老了。Tā yǐjīng hěn lǎole.

M: 对,我年纪很大 wǒ niánji hěndà, 我已经很老了 wǒ yǐjīng hěn lǎole.

S: 很老 hěn lǎo, very old. Tā yǐjīng hěn lǎo le, she's already very old. Tā yǐjīng hěn lǎo le.

M: Duì, wǒ niánjì hěndà. Wǒ yǐjīng hěn lǎole. What is niánji dà? Duìle, ‘age big', meaning, of course, ‘old', like lǎo.

S: But what about asking the age of kids under ten or so? Easy. Listen.

M: 你几岁了?nǐ jǐ suìle?

S: 我八岁 wǒ bā suì.

M: Nǐ jǐ suìle? Remember the jǐ in ‘What's the time now?' 现在几点了? xiàn zài jǐ diǎn le, wher the jǐ means ‘how many'? Well, it means a similar thing here. Nǐ jǐ suìle? You how many years, how old are you?

S: And remember, nǐ jǐ suì? Is for people under ten or so.

M: So, Stuart, nǐ jǐ suìle?

S: Humph! ML, nǐ jīn nián jǐ suìle?

M: I think it's time to xià kè. Zài jiàn.
