      Heres your intro lesson: ma ma qui ma man, ma ma ma ma means “mother is riding a horse, when the horse is slow mother curses it.”

      mama ma ma ma? means “Does mother scold the horse?”

      Wo he ni muqin fashengguo xing guanxì means “I had sex with your mom.”

      I might have missed some tone symbols here and there but you get the picture. Its an easy language to pick up, you should absolutely do it. A few words a day and you’re Jinze-de (golden). Not to be mistaken for Jin ze de (responsible)
