Asia phrasebook

This phrasebook aims to provide basic expressions for hitchhikers in the major Asian languages.

Chinese

The main problem with Chinese is the pronunciation.

• ni chu nar le? -- where are you going?
• wo chu... -- I am going to...
• meio chian -- no money... (the only way I know to tell them that you are hitchhiking)
• gong lu -- highway
• gao se gong lu -- expressway
• zega/nega -- this/that
• nar -- where

The best option probably is to have a driver who knows some english translate your most important phrases into chinese characters and write them on a card so you can show them to everybody.--Worldhitch 17:45, 7 October 2007 (CEST)
