00:00Have you ever felt rushed, like the world is moving faster than you?
00:04Or maybe you arrived somewhere and everything had already started?
00:10What if I tell you, Mandarin has a word that can describe that feeling perfectly?
00:16Want to know which word it is? Then watch this lesson.
00:20Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Welcome to Shahidah Polyglodyear.
00:24I'm your teacher, Shahidah Tujuthuli.
00:26Today is day 6 of our 60-day Mandarin Chinese vocabulary confidence journey.
00:32However, you don't memorize words, you'd feel them, use them, and truly own them.
00:37And at the end of this lesson, you will receive a special reward.
00:41So stay tuned until the end.
00:44Today's word is late.
00:47In Chinese, it will be θΏε°.
00:50Repeat after me.
00:52θΏε°.
00:53Now you say it.
00:54Did you try?
00:56Very good.
00:57This word is very common in daily life.
01:01Learning it will help you express time awareness and personal responsibility just like a native speaker.
01:08In Chinese, late doesn't only mean missing a bus or a class.
01:13You can be late to a meeting, late to reply to a message, late to notice your own feeling.
01:20Using this word correctly shows that you are aware and responsible.
01:24It's a small word, but it communicates awareness, urgency, or regret, just like native speakers ought.
01:32At the end of these 60 days, there will be a vocabulary assessment.
01:36To pass the assessment, review all previous lessons regularly.
01:41This ensures your success.
01:43Those who participate will receive a Mandarin vocabulary fluency certificate.
01:48Add your name to the exam wishlist.
01:50Link is in the bio description or comments depending on the platform you are using.

03:17δΈηε«εε°δΊγ
03:17Important reminder, while learning Chinese, focus on my pronunciation, not only the English transliteration.
03:26Mandarin is a tone-based language.

03:34Transliteration is just a guide for beginners.

03:39Pause the video.
03:40Make one sentence about yourself using η΄θΎΎ.
03:44Write it in the comments.
03:45Say it out loud.

03:51No matter your level, your opinion matters.
