00:00Have you ever noticed this? Someday you wake up and feel alive, focused and ready to move,
00:07and some days that energy disappears. What if Mandarin Chinese had a word that captures those
00:13powerful moments? Want to know which word it is? Then watch this lesson.
00:18Subhanallah wa bihamdihi subhanallahil azeem. Welcome back to Shahida Polyglot Year.
00:23I am your teacher Shahidakta Chyothuri. Today is day 2 of our 60-day Mandarin vocabulary
00:29confident journey. Where you don't memorize words, you feel them, use them and completely own them.
00:35In today's lesson, you will learn one powerful Mandarin word and at the end of this lesson,
00:41you will receive a small reward. Real native style Mandarin sentences showing how this word is used
00:47naturally in daily conversations. So stay with me until the end. Today's word is
00:53energetic. In Chinese, we say jing shen. Repeat after me. jing shen. Now you say it.
01:03Take your time, focus on the tones. Did you try? Very good. First tone, jing, high, steady. And
01:12second tone, shen, is a rising tone. Important reminder, while English translation helps,
01:18focus on my pronunciation first. Mandarin is a tone-based language, so tones make all the
01:25difference. Don't worry, I will guide you every step. Jing shen doesn't just mean physical strength.
01:32You can be jing shen when you feel excited about learning, your mind feels active and fresh.
01:37You want to do more, not less. Using jing shen helps people understand your motivation and mindset,
01:45not just your actions. So when you say jing shen, Mandarin listeners feel your truth.
01:51This is not just a challenge. At the end of these 60 days, there will be a vocabulary assessment.
01:56To pass the assessment, review all previous lessons. Those who participate will receive
02:01a Mandarin vocabulary fluency certificate. If you want to join that assessment, put your name
02:06on the exam wish list. The link is in the bio, description or comments, depending on the platform
