I'm a Chinese. In my region, we don't simply call people - strangers or friends likewise - Meinu or shuaige, not unless you want to flirt with them so it would be deemed as rude sometimes. In Mainland, I have seen people call men as "Da Ge (big brother)" for man older than the speaker or "Xiao Di (younger bro)" for younger man/boy. "Xiansheng" also works. As for women, it's true they don't use "Xiao Jie"; instead I have heard people called "Da Jie (big sister) for any older women and "Xiao Mei (younger sister)" for younger women. Probably "Gu Niang" is also used but not as often as those that I had mentioned.

I've been in China (Beijing) with my mom's coworkers a long time ago and we were told that if we use guniang at a restaurant or a cafe it means is like a waitress, but if we call a girl guniang in the street it means prostitute. Is it true ? maybe it was a misunderstanding or some chinese just wanted to make fun of laowai's.

True. He is the reason why I sometimes watch the same scene over and over again, in order to master it. I think he gave advice for someone to watch the same drama back to back, because mastering that is like mastering 80 percent of Chinese, or something like that. Well, I thought that was too intense for me as a beginner, when I came across that comment, so over 30 dramas later, a year or so has passed and I wish I had toughed it out. 😂 Many of the dramas I watch have the same concept and conversations.

Even though you introduce yourself as Instructor Wu, do people just stop wondering which "Wu" character your name uses? I assume it has to do with specically using the term "ming zi". Is there an implied obligation to clarify associated with that word?

"Milkman" applies to being the unknown father of an illegitimate child or the suspected lover of an adulterous wife. Lady of the night, street walker, town bike... Any of these are euphemisms for prostitute, but milkman isn't even close.

Is 你叫什么名字?and 你的名字是什么?can both be interchangeably used or is there a difference I need to be mindful of thank you. Same goes with 我叫.... and 我的名字.... Thank you.

You can say that and people would understand you but native Chinese almost never say that.

Because 你的名字是什么 is sort of the literal translation from English but Mandarin is an independent language which goes with its own logic.

Really? I dont think Chinese is not so 鸡婆, I remember when I paid visit to my friend's home, his mother ask me, 叫什么名字啊?I answered 我叫 李阳, I noticed his mother didnt ask me, which Li? Which Yang? Btw, I am Malaysian with Chinese descendant.

李阳 is a common name in Chinese. You can google it. There may be over 10,000 李阳 in China. Another reason may be because she didn't expect to meet you for a second time.

Andy, thank you for your wonderful personality and way of teaching Mandarin. I'm curious, why would one call a blue-collar worker, "master"? 'Master' in English is from 'master and servant'. The master is the superior, the boss. In the olden days it was for addressing a person of a notable status, higher than your average mister. Secondly, if milkman has anything to do with prostitution, I missed it. Milkman jokes usually refer to the extramarital affair by the wives. I'm not saying you're wrong because I could very well be ignorant of the matter. Please give me some links that show the connection you're claiming. Finally, did you study in the US? Your English is mainly American. And it is very good. There are people who have gone to America and even after so many years of still living there, who speak less clearly. Thanks again for your truly useful Mandarin lessons, look forward to your reply!

1.This is my hypothetical answer angain. Master was the original meaning for "shifu"and it has become a modern address for a blue collar worker maybe because: 1.They share something similar that the blue collar workers are technicians in their fields, like driving or repairing, etc. 2.We want to show our respect in calling them "specialists" instead of addressing "manual workers".

2. The only link between "milkman" and "xiaojie" is they both mean something else and most natives can read between the lines. That's why l say it must be quoted.
