hehe, thanks.

Well, how do you say "I bought a car" ? do you just say "I buy car yesterday" or something like that? something with le/了?

pluiepoco

if you want to learn Chinese, I'd also like to guide you.
Asminha
but you have been unfriendly to me for an idea of...

pluiepoco

I bought a car[我買了一輛車], where I=我,buy=買，a=一，car=車，
so in the whole sentence, the Chinese is two words more, that is, 了and 輛,then I tell you, 了means sth. done, which represents the past tense; 輛is an unit word, such as "a book" is [一本書],the word/character 本acts in the same way.
I buy a car yesterday maybe is wrong in English grammar, but your thinking in Chinese is almost right. In Chinese we don't tell the difference of a verb in different tenses, for which special conditions, we add some "function words"[虛詞]to indicate that a thing is future, present or past.

hmmm I see.. can you also put the characters into latin letters.. I knew only two words from what you wrote (wo3 and le)... and it'd be good if you could use numbers to indicate the tone.. like
ni3, hao3, guo2 etc.¨
oh and what does 本 mean? is it some counter word or what?
