    You can say "shi4 de", "zhen4 de a", "shi4 a", "zhen4 de"... depends on what you respond yes to.

    For negatives u need a full sentence.

    You can't, lol.... THat means "it is"... But Chinese hate to use one word, so they drag an "ah" at the end... = "shì a!" (= shi4 a; a has no tone lol... you choose how to say it )

    Here's your question sheet

    Some words:

    Good Morning
    zǎo shàng hǎo - 早上好。

    Good Afternoon
    n/a

    Good Evening
    wăn shàng hǎo。 晚上好。

    Good Day
    nǐ hǎo。 你好。

    How are you?
    nǐ hǎo mā? 你好吗?

    I am good
    wǒ hén hǎo。 我很好。

    You're welcome
    bú kè qì! / bú xiè! 不客气! / 不谢!

    Thank you
    xiè xiè! 谢谢!No, I know, not as fun to say as "efxaristo"

    Please*
    qīng nǐ ... 请你 ... ...
    *you have to complete the sentence. There isn't any polite way of saying "please" on its own; you just say "give me!" or "please give me!" or "I want" yallah we're so rude

    I'm sorry / Excuse me.
    duì bù qí / 对不起。

    It's ok (in response to "I'm sorry/excuse me".
    méi guān xǐ。没关系。


    I have just edited to make some corrections and add phrases

    LOL.. I was getting to that!!

    Shye-shye, but think of singing... the tone of your voice goes DOWN, like you're mad. It's hard for many people to get... Maybe I'll send you a recording on LM.
    = shye! shye! lol but the second one isn't as harsh as the 1st.

    Goodbye - zai4jian4 - DZY JYAN dzy (rhymes with sigh)! jyan! (this one is also harsh).
