Good morning.Did you eat?

[little white guy]

Hey..anyone know how to spell

"good morning did you eat?"

In mandarin?..Wife taught me

how to say but not asked her

how to spell

[Dan R]

By spell do you mean to transliterate into pin yin? Or do you want to learn the Chinese characters (HanZi)? It isn't odd that someone doesn't know the PinYin. This is mostly used to show foreigners and does not serve any purpose among chinese except as a typing input system.

 

I only know the first part "Good Morning" "ZaoShangHao" there are many more knowledgable than I am that could supply the whole sentence. But first is this what you meant?

Ni e le ma? would be "Are you hungry?

"Good morning did you eat?"

Good morning--ÔçÉϺã¡Zao shang hao!

Did you eat?--Äú³ÔÁËÂð£¿Nin chi le ma? or Äã³ÔÁËÂð£¿ni chi le ma?

While you use "nin" instead of "ni", it is a kind of respection or not close relation.Usually we use it to parents, older generation and higher position.

Actually ''Did you eat ?'' is a kind of greeting such as hi, hello, how are you, good morning,so even you tell you didn't eat, nobody will invite you for dinner hehe.
