My friend asked if I wanted to see a new movie. I said, “Of course! I’m definitely going!” Let’s learn how to say “absolutely / definitely / for sure” in Chinese. 绝对 (jué duì) Hello，大家好，我是Janine。 Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.
昨天朋友问我：“你想不想去看那部新电影？” Zuótiān péngyou wèn wǒ: “Nǐ xiǎng bù xiǎng qù kàn nà bù xīn diànyǐng?”Yesterday my friend asked me, “Do you want to see that new movie?”
我马上说：“当然想！我绝对要去！” Wǒ mǎshàng shuō: “Dāngrán xiǎng! Wǒ jué duì yào qù!”I said right away, “Of course! I’m definitely going!”
因为那是我最喜欢的电影。 Yīnwèi nà shì wǒ zuì xǐhuan de diànyǐng.Because it’s my favorite kind of movie.
我觉得，这次一定也很好看。 Wǒ juéde, zhè cì yídìng yě hěn hǎokàn.I think this one will definitely be good too.
