"我们的家在台湾。"

Translation: Our home is in Taiwan.

[Andrew-Lin]

Native speaker from Taiwan here!
Traditional characters: 我們的家在台灣。

[_LolZ_]

I can't imagine having to write the last character...

[RGZReGZ]

Break it apart. First is the left and right, so you have the "water"; then the right side can be seperate into top and bottom; the top is component form of 絲 、言、絲 , then bottom is “弓”. Not hard to remember, but still tedious and PITA to write.

[MissLabar]

I wish we could just speak the texts instead of write. Laziness/tiredness speaking here

[MissLabar]

Do you write the characters? Like draw them out

[INeed7]

That's cool! Traditional characters sure are amazing.

[bjornet]

Thanks, much better ^^^ <3

[Optimusmaximu5]

謝謝為繁體字

[Hugo_zerocool]

Isn't 家 supposed to have several meanings Such as House, home and family?

[AbaddonWan]

家means home basically， 家人means family members， 回家means go home， 家乡means home town， 国家means country

[duovivo]

In that case, what would be the typical way to write "Our house is in Taiwan?"

[jordanahh]

Yes, but in this sentence, "家" means home or house.

But in Taiwan nowadays, lots of people live in apartments, so that home is the best answer.

[EquanimousLingo]

Yes

[NatsukoEno]

Is "Our house is in Taiwan." also not ok?

[Tommy556270]

No, home means your sweet home in chinese. It can be a house, a flat, an apartment. But house is 屋 an independent building

[Ululare]

I am wondering, is jia1 home as in the sentimental place you live and have/make memories, or is it more the place where you live now. This because "Our house is in Taiwan" was considered wrong and I am just wondering about the cultural sentiment placed in this word.

[AbaddonWan]

你家在哪里 basically means “where do you live”， it is not the literally meaning of asking you where your house is. Its more or less asking you your home town.

[B-F-Toni]

I hope that they do not say that Taiwan belongs to chine

[hatchellj]

This one marked me wrong for using "house" instead of "home". Why? In English the words are synonyms.

[roman2095]

Not really. Although your home can be a house, you can also have a house that is not your home, and a home that is not a house.

[laura_a101]

I put "Our house is in Taiwan." and it was marked incorrectly, though it should be correct

[Christophe777620]

Can this also translate to; my family lives in Taiwan ?

[nIzN4]

our house is in taiwan?

[Adam646882]

So... I typed in the correct characters but it marked it wrong.

[DavidCorba5]

Can't it be 'Our family is in Taiwan?'

[Derp166630]

on vacation?

[taibrashee]

Our home is in ROC

[EvLogan3]

This question made me realize that im getting closer and closer to singing "our house" by Madness in Chinese... at leastthe chorus

[HELEN866212]

It explains as: "Our home is in Taiwan" but the preposition "in" is missing. It has only the verb. Can anyone explain what i do wrong?

[KinsKins06_]

Could you do "My family lives in Taiwan"?

[BobMason2]

Wow I don't know but eas really hard to understand it

[djschoene]

But My home is in Taiwan is still kinda the same thing,right?

[Tommy556270]

「我」is my. You need to use Our for「我們, slightly different」

[mo_25f]

My house is really in Taiwan.

[HopeGW]

台湾！My dear reason to learn Chinese TT

[JoelSnchez146035]

Typing error , it changed n fpr a dot .

[MudSkippr]

Is "our home's in Taiwan" wrong?

[10Gghz]

Why is taiwan the only province I see in here

[Optimusmaximu5]

Coz its a different nation

[Lee499391]

Ni men = plural, so our home = are not is

[RichardCor912224]

Why is 在 necessary?

[OsamaSajid1]

In similar sentence I wrote "home is in US" and it was marked wrong as expected answer was "home is in the US". So, here I wrote "home is in the Taiwan" but it was marked wrong because duo didn't want the use of "the" here
