  1. While talking with a friend about this Chinese lesson online, she mentioned a couple of nice example sentences:
    Jīnqián mǎi bù lái xìngfú.
    金钱买不来幸福。
    Money can’t buy happiness.

    Zhèzhānɡ chànɡpiàn fēichánɡ chénɡɡōnɡ, màile yìbǎiwàn zhānɡ.
    这张唱片非常成功,卖了一百万张。
    The record was a big hit and sold a million copies.

  2. In this Chinese lesson online, I learned that the word “买 (mǎi)” means “to buy,” but what is the Chinese word for “sell?”
