Asking the date:


To ask Whats the date today?say Jn tin sh j ho? Or say Jn tin sh j yu j ho? Or more formally say Jn tin sh j yu j r? To answer, replace the question word j with the number of the day and month. As jn tin is the subject of the sentence, it is placed at the beginning. The Chinese like to use the concept of big to small. Dates begin with the year, followed by the month and finally the day. In spoken Chinese, the verb sh is often omitted, but can be used for emphasis. To ask about yesterdays or tomorrows date, replace jn tin with zu tin or mng tin. In Chinese, as tense is shown by the time stated, i.e. yesterday or tomorrow, the verb does not change for future or past tense. Example: jn tin sh j yu j j j r j r j r ? (What date is today?) (what date is tomorrow?) (What date was yesterday?)

To ask about yesterday or tomorrow, use the same sentence structure, but replace jn tin with zu tin for yesterday or mng tin for tomorrow.
