Ni hao ma!

Wo hen hao, Lolla !

Response:


When a person introduces a salutatory "Ni Hao ma!" which is equivalent to "hello and how are you doing? " being asked.

The other person would respond with, "Wo Hen Hao" = I am good!

Wo = I

patudlo ta ni Ms Anna, ani Bran ehehhee

Answering a salutation:


Person A: Ni Hao ma! (Hi how are you doing?)

Person B: Wo hen hao, ni neh? (I am good, and you?)
Note: ni neh = and you?

Let's write it in Chinese !

你好波荷土地çš,,人 !!

How do we write Bohol in Chinese?

How do we write Bohol in Chinese?

波荷 = Bohol

I Love Bohol !


Love is written as: æ,,›, so therefore, to write "I Love Bohol" is done by transpositiong the character for Love next to the character that represents Bohol.

We then place the character that represents possession (æˆ') next to love to indicate that we own this love, or we have this love for said object, which is bohol.

æˆ' æ,,› 波荷

I (possessor) Love / Passion for Land of Bohol! (I Love Bohol!)

If you want to say "I Love You Mom! I Love You Dad! I Love My Parents"

Then you would write it this way:

æˆ' æ,,› 母亲 = I Love Mother ! Wo Ai Ni Ma Ma(Mother/Mommy)

æˆ' æ,,› 父亲 = I Love Father ! Wo Ai Ni Fu Chin (Father/Daddy)

æˆ' æ,,› 父母 = I Love My Parents ! Wo Ai Ni Fu Mu (Parents/Mom and Dad)

   

 æˆ' æ,,› 祖母运æ°" = Wo Ai Ni Zu Mu Yun Qi( I Love My Lola!!!)


Wo Ai Ni Zumu Nating!!! ...I love my Lola Nating...

æˆ' æ,,› 祖母运æ°" = Wo Ai Ni Zu Mu Yun Qi( I Love My Lola!!!)


Wo Ai Ni Zumu Nating!!! ...I love my Lola Nating...

Actually, I would have to translate that properly.

Lola's full name is Fortunata, whose root is Fortune.

The Chinese character for Fortune is written as 运æ°" and in Pinyin is pronounced as 'Yun Qi' or Yoon Chee

That was Lola's given Chinese name.

So to say I Love You Grandmother Fortunata, I would say : Wo Ai Nee Zumu Yun Qi!

And I would write it as:

æˆ' æ,,› 祖母运æ°"
