Mandarin Chinese-lesson one

Here are some common words and phrases. The official language in China is Mandarin. Please excuse any mistakes, I don't actually know how to say any of these. I will first list the Pinyin(chinese word), then how to pronounce it, then the English translation. Here we go.
Ni Hao ( knee how) Good day
Xie-xie ni ( syeah-syeah nee) thank you
Zai jian ( dzai gee-en) goodbye
mei mei (may may) little sister
jie jie (da jie) big sister
ma ma (maa ma) mommy
ba ba (baa ba) daddy
:)
