This is xiang wen 向文. I always blog about her. She is my friend, co-worker, roommate, stylist, psychologist, astrologist, MSN emoticon specialist, and sometimes, my Chinese teacher.

I asked her how to say, “I want to ask you”.

She said, “wo xiang wen ni” 我想問你.

e???? That sounds like your name - xiang wen.

No No No. Different sounds and characters, she explained.

Okay, let me try…”wo xiang wen ni” 我想吻你.

Jesse!?!?!? No No No. You just said you want to kiss me.

e???? I did?

Different sounds and characters, she explained.
