Stop saying stupid Chinese sentences (1)

For the foreigners who have totally no idea of what is Chinese, they can only start with books, start with pinyin and basic grammer. But almost all of Chinese books have a common problem, they teach foreigners quite formal Chinese.
In order to explain the grammer accurately, it has to teach them to say whole sentences with everything in it, like subject, verb, object etc. But usually in our daily life, we won’t speak like that, even with incorrect grammer, which we called oral Chinese.
If you pay attention to Chinese daily conversation, you will notice that usually they drop something, sometimes subject, sometimes object, sometimes even verb. So sometimes if you say the whole sentence, people even treat you as totally foreigners. So if you want to be a real Chinese, please stop speaking stupid Chinese.
I will make some examples to you in series. The sentences that I made might be with incorrect grammer, but totally casual and oral.

1. When you ask for people’s name, books always teach you to ask

您 贵 姓？

Nín Guì Xìng?
What is your family name?
And

你 叫 什么 名字？

Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi?
What’s your name?
But actually Chinese people don’t ask these questions for people’s name. They usually ask:

您 怎么 称呼？ Or 请问 怎么 称呼？

Nín zěnme chēnghu? Or Qǐngwèn zěnme chēnghu?

2. When you go to the restaurant to ask for the menu, books always teach you to ask:

服务员， 请 给 我 一份 菜单。

Fúwùyuán, qǐng gěi wǒ yīfèn càidān.
Waiters, please give me a menu.
But actually, this way of “being polite” is a little bit of strange, people don’t say such whole sentences to ask for menu, even sometimes, people don’t need to say anything and the waiters will provide the menu. So if the waiters don’t provide the menu actively, people usually say:

服务员， 菜单，谢谢。

Fúwùyuán, càidān, xièxie.

3. When you go to buy something to eat, such as fruit, or to order food in the restaurant, books always teach you to say:

我想要（买）。。。。。。

wǒ xiǎng yào (mǎi)……
I want (to buy)……
But actually we don’t need to use so formal words, we can just use the format of :
Lái + number + Noun measure words + object.
For example:

1） 来 两斤 苹果， 谢谢。

Lái liǎngjīn píngguǒ, xièxie.
Please give me 1 kilo of apple, thanks.

2) 来 一个 宫保鸡丁 和 一个酸辣汤， 谢谢。

Lái yīge Gōngbǎojīdīng hé yīge suānlàtāng, xièxie.
Please give me a Gongbao Chicken and a sour and spicy soup, thanks.
OK, so we just start with these three examples in this article, more real Chinese sentences will come soon.
