This episode we are going to learn"不靠谱"My e-mail is 1520863075@qq.com, send me email if you have any question or suggestion.^_^The slang for today is "不靠谱" “不靠谱” 。 不 is second tone 靠 is forth tone and 谱 is third tone. '不靠谱" second tone forth tone third tone "不靠谱" Well ， one pronunciation I need to emhpasize here is the word 靠，it begins with k, k, k ao, 靠谱. Well a lot of Amerecan make mistake here. They say gao, it is very strange, remember it is not g ao, it is k ao. Well 不靠谱 is an adjective, 不靠谱 could be translated into sketch or sketchy, “不”具有否定的含义，“不”means "not", 靠是贴近，靠近的意思，靠 means next to or adjoin. 谱是乐谱的谱，谱 means music score, 所以不靠谱的字面意思就是不靠近乐谱，就是偏离规章制度，不可信不可依赖不切合实际的意思，不靠谱means unbelievable and unreliable，north Chinese use this word very frenquently, we use 不靠谱 to depict someone who is sketchy or something that is unrealistic.Um 举个例子，for example， 我有一个朋友，他说他能做到任何他想做的事情，我觉得他这个人很不靠谱。I have a friend and he said he was able to do anything he want, I think he is really 不靠谱。当然，不靠谱这个词不光能形容人，而且也能形容事，except describing sketchy person, 不靠谱 could also depict unrealistic thingsSo , 让我们听一段对话, let's check out a dialog：C：前两天布置给你的任务做了么？D：呀，还没呢C：你怎么这么不靠谱呢Well, do you understand this dialog?A boss asks his employee: Did you finish your assignment?the employee answers: um, not yet.And the boss said: How sketchy you are￣へ￣Ok, here I want to mention another character"靠谱". Well, I guess you've already know the meaning of this word. It is the antonym of 不靠谱. So 靠谱 means reliable and trustful.

in this episode we are going to learn a very popular character"土豪"My e-mail is 1520863075@qq.com, I`d like to answer question and accept feedback.Here I add my script:Mandarin Master 1 Claudia: Hi, guys. Welcome to Mandarin Master! I’m host Claudia.In this podcast. I&`&m gonna help you to learn some Chinese slangs which are often used in our daily life, and this is my first episode. We know there&`&re lots of daily Chinese expressions that you could never see them on a book, but actually our Chinese use them very frequently in daily talk. If you could master these expressions, your Chinese will definetly be more authentic.So, today we are gonna learn an very easy and popular character“土豪”，“土豪”. 土豪 is an adjective which is usually used to describe a sort of people who are very rich and buy almost everything at their pleases，土豪通常花钱都很大手大脚啊，很高端的手机，之类的, 土 就是俗气的意思，means vulgar and secular, and 豪 象征着一个人非常有钱 is the person of extraordinary powers or endowment. 豪 is also a respective of wealth. So, generally speaking， 土豪 usually buy expensive goods or even luxuries without thinking because they don&`&t care how much they would spend. They have a lot of money.举个例子，比如说 Donald John Trump, the presidential candidate, 他就是一个大土豪，因为他真的超级有钱……当然，我们也可以说自己身边的某一个朋友是土豪，比如说Tom最近买了mac book…… Well, sometimes we use 土豪 as a derogatory term. Someone who buys a lot of expensive things such as Gucci purse, Chanel makeup or Patek Philippe watch. Besides that, they like to show off, I mean, how bad are them~ I don&`&t like people who always flaunt, anyway~ But sometimes young people may use the word 土豪 to make fun of intimate friends who bought a good stuff recently, you know, at this kind of circumstance, people are not secious; it just a joke. So actually, 土豪 can be both positive and negetive; it&`&s really depends on the situation. By the way, don&`&t use it in your writing because it&`&s just a oral expression~Ok, let&`&s check out a dialog:C: WoW，你看那个人，带着金手表诶 D: Aha~ 他可是个土豪C: WoW，你看那个人，带着金手表诶 D: Aha~ 他可是个土豪The person wears a golden watch.Well! He is a 土豪Hahaha~ I‘m not a 土豪， I&`&m a cheap girl. Are you a 土豪？Are you very rich? Are U often buy expensive stuff?Well, I hope you guys can understand this word, and trust me, it is a super popular word in China, it would increase your sense of humor if you could use it in your daily talk.Ok, if you have any question or suggestion, please send me an e-mail, I&`&d like to see your feedback~see you next time~
