Wish me luck

I'm going to have my first Chinese (Mandarin) lesson tonight.

我祝願您運氣最好

死马当活马医

edit: retranslated into google, and it says "desperate for horse medicine". It was meant to be:

• Literally: Try to save the dead horse as if it is still alive
• Meaning: Do the impossible, for it may truly be possible.

好运

这个手段您继续旅行人民共和国？
(yet again the translator has garbled it somewhat.... figure it out....)

What's the mandarin for biskits?

I've just put that through the online translator and it reads:


"Your elephant is in a kettle."

I got "Tour of the great distance begins under the foot", which seems quite plausible.

Good ruck, Cookie me old mate!

 

[Aperitif]

Good fortune Cookie.

You'll noodle the help you can get - I tried it once and spent ages trying to get some basic sounds right 'nnnnnnnngo' 'aaaaaaieeeeeeeeeeeee' - that sort of thing. My dogs wondered what was going on!
Needless to say I am still trying to grasp English

Good luck.

The only bit of Mandarin I know was gleened from the lady working at the local chip shop.

You say either - knee how (or) knee high - and it means "hello" (I'm sure someone here can point to the right one).

Haven't got the foggiest how to write it though.
