Hi Lenka,

I'm Joel Lee from Malaysia (like both of them on top).

there are basically 4 tones for mandarin words. I have included a simple guide in a file called 4 tones (which you will get a link to download at the end of this)

*This link also teaches you how to pronounce some of the things i shown below.
http://mandarin.about.com/od/pronunciation/l/blsounds.htm

1. Can you hear me?
你听见我吗?
(ni3 ting1 jian4 wo3 ma1)

2. Hold me
In mandarin, the closest equivalent would me "hug me" or "hug me tightly". A literal hold me would be almost like "grab me" or something.
抱紧我
(bao4 jin2 wo3)

3.Touch me
There are few ways to translate it.
- 触摸我 - this sounds a little scientific. The first chinese word is basically touch, but it sometimes is used in contexts like "touch" in the 5 senses.
(chu4 mo1 wo3) - "chu" as in choose, or "ha choo" the sneezing sound. mo is pronounced as muo (think of m-war without the "r" ,instead of mo such as "more")

- 摸我 - this is a direct translation. If a girl tells her friends that a guy "摸我", it means he sort of molested her. Imagine saying the same thing in english "He touched me"
(mo1 wo3)

- 动我 - the direct translation is "move me". the first word can mean "touch" or "move"
(dong4 wo3) - dong : the "d" is not pronounced the same way as "d" in donkey. It is pronounced halfway between "d" and "t". Refer *

4. Speak to me
告诉我 - means "tell me" more than speak to me.
(gao4 su4 wo3): likewise, "g" is pronounced somewhere between "g" and "k" refer *

对我说 - a direct word for word translation is " direct", "me", "speech". basically means "tell me". But not as much as the previous one. You can also translate it as "speak to me" as a request from the 1st person
(dui4 wo3 shuo1) shuo pronounced as sh-war without the "r"(war as in military war)

5. I love you
我爱你 - this is the most common and accurate translation
(wo3 ai4 ni3)

我好爱你 - the addition of the second word implies very/really, a little bit of both words. It sounds better than just "very" since "I love you very much" doesn't exactly sound as romantic/nice.
(wo2 hao3 ai4 ni3)

they are basically 2 .wav files. Do let me know if you want help with pronouncing it. or if you want to know about other mandarin words. (yes, i know that people do say that mandarin is one of the most difficult language to learn, and it it doesn't exactly sound very sexy - but its good : ) )
