Hey guys welcome to Learn Chinese Now,
here we are in Salzburg Austria.
Now you might be asking yourself, "Hey Jared, weren't you in New York yesterday?"
Yes, actually I was in New York yesterday. Therefore I am experiencing a little bit of jet lag.
So in Chinese Shi Cha, Shi means time, Cha means difference.
So Shi Cha is a time difference. So it's basically a time zone.
Now if you add the verb Dao in front of it, Dao means to flip upside down,
to have totally flipped upside down. Dao Shi Cha is basically how in Chinese you would say that you have jet lag.
It is it is your time zone has been totally flipped upside down.
So if you were to say "I have jet lag." You would say Wo Zai Dao Shi Cha.
Wo, me. Zai, currently. Dao, all flipped around.
Shi Cha, time zones, time difference.
If you were to ask somebody, "Do you still have jet lag?" You would say,
Ni Hai Zai Dao Shi Cha Ma
So Ni, you. Hai, still. Zai, currently. Dao, again flipped over. Shi Cha, time difference. And then Ma the question particle.
