你们会说普通话吗?（Mandarin Thread? Anyone?)

[Russet]

:china: 哈哈，有一次我家养的狗小便在前院的草坪，几年后那儿还是有一片完全枯燥、草不能生起来的地方。

:uk: ahaha, one time my pet dog peed on our front lawn and a few years later there's still a patch of completely wilted grass that refuses to regrow.

[misea]

:china: o_0 那是奇怪。那一片地完全没什么植物长在那？没杂草?

:usa: o_0 That's strange. There's absolutely no plants growing there at all? Not even weeds?

[Russet]

:china: 对啊！根本一点儿杂草都没有，看来我狗的尿可以拿来当毒药了。。。

:uk: Yeah! haha, there wasn't a single spot of weeds or anything, I think my dog's pee can be used as poison..
Also in reference to your cat because I think we should stop bothering the people on the Introduction thread, cats are magic, they can basically Apparate wherever they want.

[misea]

:china: 可能。:I 真的是太奇怪。。。

:usa: Probably. :I That's really weird...
hahaha yeah probably of course, how did I forget that? *facepalms*

[Russet]

:china: 昨天我找到很多旧的华文作文，全都是满江红的，哈哈。我还记得老师曾经和我说过我作文是最要注意的项目，因为我的语病连篇都是的。。。哦，你的猫怎样了？康复点了吗？

:uk: Yesterday I found a lot of my old Chinese essays and they had so many errors, haha. I still remember my teacher actually told me that I had to pay extra attention to my essays because they were full of grammatical and spelling errors, which is kind of embarassing.... Anyway, how's your cat? Feeling better? (:

[misea]

:china: *拍你的背*
我的猫好了，谢谢 c: 现在的问题只是怎么要他吃普通的猫食物 XD

:usa: awww it's okay *pats your back*
My cat's better, thanks for asking c: Now the problem is getting her to eat the (admittedly not-very-tasty-after-cat-treats) food we'd been feeding her before XD Picky cat

[Russet]

:china: 哈哈，当然，你的猫只会接受最好的招待。哦，还有，你可知道放上一个新的国旗大概需要多久的时间吗？我还在等待马来西亚国旗的到来，哈哈。Videovance 好像最近都没在？

:uk: Ah, of course, nothing but the best for a cat, haha. By the way, any idea how long it takes for a new flag to be put up? Have been waiting on a Malaysian one for a while now. Also, videovance seems to have disappeared as well, hmm.

[videovance]

:china: 哈哈，对不起，我经常忘记回复！我也希望你猫的健康更好 ( • ω • )b
我不知道创造了新的国旗的必要时间。你应该问一下，创造者可能忘记了。 ( ╯□╰ )
我最近还没有时间可以看一看“X-Men”电影，但是我明天早上有空闲时间，我会看到吧！

我有一个问题：你怎么使用“儿”的词？例子：这儿、个儿、小孩儿、点儿，等等。我的老师不说明这个词的意义。。。：（

:uk: Haha, sorry, I kept forgetting to respond to this! I also hope your cat's feeling better ( • ω • )b
I don't know how long it takes for them to make the flag. The creator might have forgotten about it, you should probably ask again ( ╯□╰ ) (I hope they make it soon!!)
I haven't had a lot of time recently to be able to look at the "X-Men" movie, but tomorrow morning I have some free time, so I might watch it then!

I have a question: How do you use "儿"? For example: 这儿、个儿、小孩儿、点儿, et cetera. My teacher wasn't very clear with what it means... ：（

[Russet]

:china: 哦，好啊！看了过后跟我说声？我想知道你最喜欢哪个人物！（：
对于“儿”的用法，这我也不太清楚，哈哈，我们的老师通常没有和我们解释这事情。。。就是好像，每个字过后加个“儿”把他变成比较。。。casual? (idk how to say this in chinese, sorry)

:uk: Oh, rad! B) Tell me after you've watched it, I want to know who your favourite character is! (:
And about 儿, I'm not too sure how to use it either, haha, it sort of comes naturally to me since our teachers don't really explain the usage? It's like.. after every word if you tack it on at the end it sounds more.. casual?

[misea]

:china: 哈哈，和她是一直吃一样的东西，所以应该换一下她的食物 XD
Russet，如果你想要个马国旗，这个 thread 是个好的地方问人做一个，如果你还没看过 c:
Videovance, 我跟 Russet 同意

:usa: Haha, and she's been eating the same things for a long time, so it's about time we changed her food XD
Russet, if you want a Malaysian flag, this thread would be a good place to ask if someone could make one, if you haven't seen it already c:
Videovance, I agree with Russet, "儿" makes stuff sound more casual. I don't use it a lot (I don't think, and this might just be 'cause my Mandarin is all over the place), but my parents' friends use it all the time

[Russet]

:china: 谢谢！我之前已经在那儿问过了，但可能他们忘记了？我再通知他们一声。哈哈，你的猫儿现在开始吃普通的食物了吗？

:uk: Oh, thanks! I've told them about it before, but maybe they're forgotten? Either way, I'll let them know again. & haha, is your cat back on ordinary cat food, or is it still living the high life?

[misea]

:china: 她完全不捧普通的食物，所以今天我的妈妈和妹妹买了一些好吃的喂她。 可怜的猫， 她是太瘦 :C

:usa: She absolutely refuses to touch the old cat food, so today (actually, yesterday, but I haven't gone to sleep yet) my mom and sister bought some treats for her. Poor cat, she's so thin :C

[Russet]

:china: 啊，我现在明白了你这儿的口号为何是“夜猫子“，哈哈。早睡点吧！你的猫也真可怜哦，它完全不想碰那食物，那不是饿肚子了吗？D: 你可能可以把那些好吃的食物与普通的掺在一起，那么它就可以适应那食物。当然，这只是我个人的意见，我还是觉得问个兽医比较好。

:uk: Ah, now I understand why your personal text is "perpetually sleepy night owl", haha. Sleep earlier next time! Your poor cat, if she doesn't eat, won't she go hungry? D: Maybe you can mix the deluxe food and the normal one together so she'll adapt better to the normal food. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, perhaps seeking advice from a trained veterinarian would be a wiser decision. 

[misea]

:china: 我会，哈哈！学校也快要开始，所以现在我是早睡一点。:) 她完全不捧她本来会吃的东西－鸡，奶，老的好吃的食物，普通食物 （不知道她还是喜不喜欢奶酪，我们好久没有奶酪在家里)，于是我们是给他买了好吃的。如果我不再上大学，我们就可以问一问兽医是怎么回事的。可是谢谢 c:

:usa: I will, haha! School's starting soon, so I'm going to sleep a little earlier. She won't eat stuff that she used to--chicken, the moist food she used to love, the "normal" cat food (I'm not sure about cheese though, we haven't had cheese in our house for a long time), so we're buying her the fancy stuff. If I wasn't in college, we could ask a vet what's going on with her. Thanks for the suggestion though, it's much appreciated c:

[Russet]

:china: 原来如此！你现在读什么科啊？还有那真惨啊，你的意思是你现在因为求学所以不得空／找不到兽医，还是因为你现在求学所以金钱不足？你是不是打算喂它好吃的食物先直到你能见一见兽医？D:

:uk: Oh, cool, what're you studying right now? And that sounds terrible, do you mean that you can't get a vet because of location/time problems, or due to financial restraints? So you're going to feed her the deluxe food until you get a hold of a vet? D:
