I dont want either of them
Thanks, noah
Edit:
Another one;
Does this make sense?
Ni yao zhege haishi nage?
-
Do you want this one or that one?
Thanks again, noah

Chinese (mandarin) would love some help!
Hi all,
Figured posting this would help others as well as myself
When giving reasons for actions and emotions what key words are implemented? And in what order?

Re: Chinese (mandarin) would love some help!
I would use 因为....所以.
There's an explanation for this structure at https://app.ninchanese.com/stage/grammar-lesson/25/50
Also look at the Chinese grammar wiki at https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/

I recommend giving examples, preferably in Chinese. Don't worry if they aren't perfect. If that's not possible yet, in English. This is the best way to find out about the exact situations you're interested in.

Re: Chinese (mandarin) beginner question.
In questions, you use 还是,but in declarative sentences, make sure to use 或者。
By the way, this is the type of question you should normally ask your Chinese tutor to confirm, or at least a native speaker if a tutor is not at hand.

That's subjective. Whatever YOU feel about yourself, i will continue to adhere to science and call you what you are. I'm a white man. If i tell you lot i want to be called a black African woman, because that's how i FEEL, well that's bullshit and nonsense. I'm not. Just because i want to be called something doesn't mean i can force others to call me that, because others will probably see me for what i am.
Unlucky.
1) That's not how science works. You have an outdated view of biology.
2) That's not how respect works.
3) Plenty of people see me for the woman I am. It's just you being obstinate.

For someone so into science you don't seem to realise that you can never be a woman you freak. You have a dick. If you chop it off you're still not a woman.
Have you even seen my genitals? Have you ever opened a textbook and read the word intersex? Really? You want to go and debate the biology of transgender and intersex people? Do you have any idea of how rude you are being?
