Bus, coach. Ba is the short for bashi, while a bashi is the phonetic translation of English word bus. So airport shuttle bus can be simply translated as jichang bashi or jichang daba. Normally, buses which go from the airport to any place in the city called gongjiaoche, meaning public transportation vehicles. Zheli is same as zher meaning here. In Southern China, zheli, nali, nali are more often used than zher, nar, and nar, as we'll see later in the composition. Is this where to wait for the airport shuttle bus? Uses zuo daba to indicate that she wants to take the shuttle bus. Yes, where do you want to go? Yinhe Binguan. The word Yinhe refers to proper noun, meaning the Milky Way. It is the name of the hotel where Beijie wants to go. The word xian means line, route. When it is used after numeral word like san xian, it means Line 3. For example, jichang san xian. Sometimes it can also follow a numeral measure word phrase such as ditie san hao xian, which means the subway Line 3. Jiu is another verb used before shi to mean just, exactly. We usually use jiu shi to emphasize that something is none other than what is being mentioned. In other words, that is precisely like it. For example, this is Shanghai. Zhe jiushi Shanghai. The staff tells Beijie she needs to take the airport shuttle bus Line 3 to get to the hotel, which is the terminus of Line 3. Fache xinxi, departure information. Fache can be both verb, to depart, and noun, departure. Xinxi is a noun meaning information. Xianlu tu, route map. The word xianlu usually refers to fix the line scheduled by transportation companies. Tu has the meaning of picture, chart.

Duo plus adjective can be used to form question words such as duoyuan, how far? Duojiu or duozhang shijan, how much time?

Usually, we use them in a pair. However, cong can be sometimes omitted. Meicuo. Mei is an active adverb, which means no, not. It can be used before the verb, to negate the ownership or existence of something. Meicuo means no mistakes, you're right. Beijie wonders if she needs to purchase the ticket at the particular place. Does this sentence looks familiar to you? Have we seen it before? Yes. It is almost the same pattern as the first sentence. Shi zai zheli plus verb, object, this pattern indicates this is where to do something. Shang che zai mai. We've learned that. Zai means again. For example, when we want someone to repeat what he said, we say, qing zai shuo yi bian. In the conversation, zai means then, later. It can be used together with xian to indicate the order of two events. For example, xian shang che zai mai piao. First, get on the bus, then buy your ticket. By xian shang che zai mai, the staff is telling Beijie to buy the ticket after getting on the bus. Now, please see the video again and review what we have learned today.
