Show Notes for Learn Chinese with Peppa Pig Season 01 Episode 03 Part 5

zhū bàba guòlái zhǎo qiáozhì le
猪爸爸过来找乔治了
Daddy pick came over to find George.

  • 猪爸爸 = zhū bàba, Daddy Pig
  • 过来 = guòlái, come over
  • 找 = zhǎo, find
  • 乔治 = qiáozhì, the Chinese name of George Pig.
  • 了 = le, indicating the event happened in the past.

ò, zāogāo, qiáozhì tā shì zěnmele
哦,糟糕,乔治他是怎么了
Oh no, what‘s up with George?

  • 哦,糟糕 = ò, zāogāo. This expression could sound a bit foreign as well, especially with the o.
  • 他 = tā, he.
  • 是 = shì, is
  • 怎么 = zěnme, how, what
  • 他是怎么了 = tā shì zěnmele, what’s up with him? You can also omit 是 in this sentence.

bié dānxīn, bàba, wányóuxì éryǐ
别担心,爸爸,玩游戏而已
Don’t worry, dad, we’re just playing a game.

  • 别 = bié, don’t. It’s similar to 不要 = bùyào. I think it’s short for 不要. If you read 不要 quickly it sounds like 别.
  • 担心 = dānxīn, worry.
  • 玩 = wán, play.
  • 游戏 = yóuxì, game.
  • 而已 = éryǐ, just, downplaying the situation.

qiáozhì shì wǒmende bìngrén
乔治是我们的病人
George is our patient.

  • 我们的 = wǒmende, our or ours.
  • 病人 = bìngrén, patient.

ò, wǒ míngbai le
哦,我明白了
Oh, I see.

  • 我 = wǒ, I.
  • 明白 = míngbai, understand.

nà wǒ kěyǐ lái tànwàng bìngrén ma
那我可以来探望病人吗
Can I come visit the patient?

  • 那 = nà, then in that case
  • 可以 = kěyǐ, allowed to
  • 来 = lái, come
  • 探望 = tànwàng, visit, mostly used when you’re visiting somebody sick at home or hospital.

zhǐnéng kàn yíhuìr ò
只能看一会儿哦
Only for a little while.

yīnwèi tā kěnéng huì hěn lèi
因为他可能会很累
Because he may be very tried.

  • 因为 = yin1wei4, because
  • 可能 = kěnéng, could
  • 会 = huì, indicating possibility, could be interpreted as become. Check similar usage in S01E09 Part 2
  • 很 = hěn, very
  • 累 = lèi, tired
