这是我/我的... Zhè shì wǒ/wǒde ...This is my ...

你结婚了吗? Nǐ jiéhūn le ma?  Are you married?

 

我结婚了 Wǒ jiéhūn  le I’m married

 

我没结婚 Wǒ méi jiéhūn  I’m not married

 

女朋友 nǚ péngyou  girl-friend

Family life

 

Families are very important in Chinese culture. Traditionally, children used to live with their parents even after they were married. It was normal for three generations to live under one roof. These days, although most married couples live by themselves, they still consider looking after their parents as their responsibility. Traditionally large families were a sign of prosperity. These days, families are becoming smaller and smaller, especially with the introduction of one-child policy in the late 1970s.
