    • new word
    zuò做do, make






    new word
    zuòfàn做饭cook, prepare food

    note
    The literal meaning of zuòfàn is "make food".

    new word
    fàn饭food; cooked rice

    note
    Although literally meaning "cooked rice", fàn is also used to refer to food in general.





    new word
    gōngzuò工作work; job



    note
    Although yào means "want", it can also mean "will", "require" or "have to" depending on the context. This sentence could also be interpreted as "I want to work tomorrow", although that seems less likely. With real-life context the meaning is always clear.




    note
    Nèi is an alternative pronunciation of nà. It was originally a contraction of 那一 (nà yī), but nowadays is just considered a variant of nà. It is common in both formal and informal speech.
