here. that's Mandarin. Nice to meet you, and welcome to A2K.

Thanks, I've been here for ages, but I just haven't posted much that's all.

And thank you very much for those Pin Yin. Yes, I do know the expressions thing but I'm not sure about the number nomenclature. I can understand those line thingies that look a bit like the lines you see above French vowels but not the number system.

It's not important anyway, coz FictionPress.com doesn't support inflections.

Thank you very much.

Dat's quite ok. Glad to be of service!

I'm not that sure.
farmer can be 农民 nong2 min2 or 农场主 nong2 chang3 zhu3，it depends on it's a western novel or a eastern one. If the man is an owner of the farm, as in the western culture, so it would be 农场主, and if he is only the man to do all the works on the farm for a landlord, as in a eastern culture, it would be 农民。

And the number here stands for the tones since we can't use the sympols here. 1 means the first tone, 2 means the second, and so on.
