Hello all!

Does 你知道, 你説國語的時候我不懂 make sense? I'm trying to tell this guy (Mandarin-speaking Taiwanese guy, hence 'guo yu') "You know I don't understand when you speak Chinese."

[Guest Yeah.]

你知道你说国语的时候我是听不懂的吗？

Thanks for answering quickly. ^^ So I understand what I'm actually saying better, how would you more directly translate that back into English?

Do you realise that when you speak Chinese (or: are speaking Chinese), I don't understand?

Can someone please tell me how to download a font from this site? I tried to look for the 'download' button, but I can't find it. I know the word 'download' start with this character 下, right?

Click on the font you want and then you will come to a page like this:

The Chinese word for "download" is 下载 (xia4 zai3). The first two links require you to download some program like Flashget, so I've circled the third link which says 普通下载 (pu3 tong1 xia4 zai3, ordinary download), you can just click on that blue bit and download - it should be an .rar file, I haven't really downloaded to see if it works.

I clicked on a few fonts and they all showed three links, so I think it will be the same for whichever font you choose to download.

You need to flip it around: 同学们,伱们好

How many spaces do you have? Cuz that is a perfectly okay greeting, but not sure if you need something else.
