New Resource Afoot!

Hi everybody!
Da jia hao!
Today I learned some new words "huo" (fire), "che" (vehicle), and "shan" (mountain)
Together they make up new words...For example a "huoche" (fire vehicle) is a "train", and "huoshan"(fire mountain) = "volcano".
I also learned that they say "tou" (head of) cattle like we do...except they omit the "of" :D.
Now..."ge" is a number counter, like tou "head of cattle" for most nouns. So "yi ge ren" = one person, er ge ren = two people. However, they have many more "noun counters", for example, "tiao" is used instead of "ge" when the noun is something long and thin ....like a river. san tiao he chuan = 3 rivers.

I found this on a website, but still waiting on permission to add the link to this site. :)

All for now.
