We Discuss Buying a Car 討論買一部車子 in Chinese - a podcast by Fun Learning Chinese

As I promised, here is what I wanted to tell my Chinese tutor I was discussing with my husband. She had also just given me the assignment of writing out a conversation in Chinese, in order to practice using the authentic conversational sounds she had been teaching me more about. I choose a representation of our conversation about buying a car. The original conversation was actually in English, as my husband is not learning Chinese (although he fakes it quite humorously sometimes in the background during a lesson). So, I did my best to base the Chinese version on what we were talking about, then my Chinese tutor corrected a couple of things and here it is!

 
老公：我在想關於為妳買一部小車子呦。

(老公)：(我)(在)(想)(關於)(為)(妳)(買)(一部)(小)(車子)(呦)

(lǎo gōng): (wǒ) (zài) (xiǎng) (guān yú) (wèi) (nǐ) (mǎi) (yī bù) (xiǎo) (chē zi.) (yōu)

(husband): (I) (indicates progressive tense of following verb, -ing) (to think) (about, a matter of) (for) (you) (to buy) (one) (small) (car) (conversational sound)

Husband: I am thinking of buying you a small car.
