Mistake in Motivation Quiz
Hello, I just finished taking the motivaitonal test and it seemed like there was an error in on of the questions. The question was: What is the right way to say “I can, thankyou.“ And the answer that it gave as correct was : “Wo haikeyi, xiexie.“ Doesnt that mean, “I am alright/so-so(at doing something), thankyou.“?
Hi Selena,
Let me know what lesson that was and I shall have a look.

Xie xie, Lin Ping,
It was in the Rocket Chinese Rehearsal Self Tests, Quiz 1.7.1.

Lin Ping,
there was also a place in Lesson 2.7 that said "Ta yao qing wo he yibei kafei" meant
"He is going to shout me a cup of coffee."
Is this correct? The lesson said "qing" used like that meant "to treat somone to something" (for example: dinner)
Xiexie again,

Hi Selena,
Yes, that is correct and so are you. Qing 请 does mean "to treat somebody to something" and in this case 他要请我喝一杯咖啡 "He is going to treat me to a cup of coffee." It has the same meaning as "to shout somebody something".
请 can be used to treat people to a variety of things from drink and meals etc.
Thank you for your question and I hope this helps!
