4. About the word
Chinese like to say: "他在吗” when we want to ask for someone. In fact we want to know if someone is available. So if you translate it into English, the proper term is “ Is he available?” but not “Is he there?”
Sometimes we ask the shop assistant for some items in the shop, for instance when buying shoes. We’d better say: “Are these shoes available in my size.”
