A Few More Dora Words: Big Red Chicken in Mandarin Chinese

If you are looking at words for Dora the Explorer in Mandarin Chinese, check earlier posts first (and if the Chinese characters below aren't clear, see earlier notes on reading Simplified Characters online).

Words from Dora #1's Big Red Chicken:

红色 = hong se = red (literally hong=red and se=color, but if someone asks you what color something is, you'd reply "hong se" and not "hong")

小 = xiao = small
大 = da = big

鸡= ji = chicken

For those of you who haven't watched this episode, the big red chicken starts out as a small red chicken...It will all be clear, even if you speak and read NO Chinese.

This is so neat! I found you through coolmompicks.com. My daughter loves Dora and I want her to learn chinese as she is half chinese. I can only speak conversational mandarin. I've forgotten a lot of my vocabulary and forgotten how to write. Sad I know. I will defintiely buying some Dora videos soon.
