How do you say "I love you, too" in Korean and Mandarin Chinese?
I love you in Chinese = 我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ).I love you, too in Chinese = 我也爱你 (wǒ yě ài nǐ).Too, also in Chinese is “也” and it always comes before the verb or adjective.In Korea, you say 사랑해 (saranghae) means “I love you”, you don’t necessarily add subject here, because this is Korean.Similar to Chinese, add 도 before the verb and you have 나도사랑해 (na do saranghae) which means “I love you too”.

How would you say "I am thankful for..." in Mandarin Chinese?
Hi, I am Jennifer, a full time Chinese teacher from Beijing. “I am thankful for…” means “我很感谢……(Wǒ hěn gǎnxiè…)” in Chinese. "I am thankful that my family is healthy" means “感谢我的家人是健康的。(Gǎnxiè wǒ de jiārén shì jiànkāng de)” "I am thankful that none of my family was hurt because of the hurricane" means “感谢我的家人没有因飓风而受到伤害。(Gǎnxiè wǒ de jiārén méiyǒu yīn jùfēng ér shòudào shānghài.)” So, you can see from the above two sentences, “I am thankful that” means “我感谢……(Wǒ gǎnxiè…)” but I omitted the Subject “我(wǒ).” It is also right. Hope you can make sentences in Chinese with the phrase “我感谢” You can email me the sentences you made with the phrase “我感谢”, I am glad to hear from you. My email address is: jennifer.zhu@echineselearning.com Hope it helps.
How to say "What does [x] mean?" in Chinese (Mandarin)?
This is what my 老師 / 老师 (lǎoshī) taught me: Simplified: [x] 有什么意思？ ([x] yǒu shénme yìsi) Traditional: [x] 有什麼意思？ ([x] yǒu shénme yìsi) 有 (yǒu) = has 什么 / 什麼 (shénme) = what 意思 (yìsi) = meaning You can also say it your way, but it's less "What is the meaning of this word?" and more like you're asking "I've never seen that object before, what is it?" or "I don't remember that character, which is it?" They'll understand you though, I'm sure. :) For "I did not understand [x]," you can say: Simplified / Traditional: 我没有懂 [x] (wǒ méiyǒu dǒng [x]) 我 (wǒ) = I 没有 (méiyǒu) = haven't 懂 (dǒng) = understand
