The child is learninging Chinese. At first, his teacher teaches him to say numbers in Chinese. After that, she gives the child candy and asks him: 好吃吗? (Hǎo chī ma?) Is it yummy? And the kid replies: 好吃 (hǎo chī). It’s yummy.
Now, let’s try to learn these two points together.
Language Point One:
How to say the numbers one through ten in Chinese:
1. 一 (yī) one
Do you enjoy movies? You can learn Chinese through movies.
2. 二 (èr) two

6. 六 (liù) six

The sentence “好吃吗？(Hǎo chī ma?)” means “Is it delicious/yummy?”（吃货 (chīhuò) foodie often say that.）Questions like this one are common when you want to ask how something is. The answer can be “好吃 (hǎo chī) It’s yummy.” The word “好 (hǎo)” is used as an adverb. Alone, “好 (hǎo)” means “good,” and “吃 (chī)” means “eat.” When you put them together, they make something new: the word “yummy” or “tasty.” Look at a few more words: “好看 (hǎo kàn)” means “looks good”or “pretty,” 好听 (hǎo tīng) means “sounds nice,” and 好玩 (hǎo wán) means “fun” or “interesting.” Putting “吗 (ma)” at the end makes the sentencea question.
