Grammar 语法

想 vs 要 — would like / want
。。

想 + verb is a softer 'would like to'. 要 is firmer: 'want, will have' — the normal word when ordering. Negative of both for wishes: 不想 ('don't feel like').

Measure word 杯 — a cup / glass of
·

Drinks are counted with 杯: number + 杯 + drink. The cup itself is 杯子: 这个杯子很好看.

吧 for suggestions, 一点儿 'a little'
！· 。

吧 at the end turns a sentence into a suggestion: 'let's…'. 一点儿 after a verb means 'a little (of)': 喝一点儿水.
