  • When I was studying, I learned that you could ask to someone to take a picture for you by using: "zhang yi ge zhaopian". But I can't find any reference about it on nciku, is this correct?

When I was studying, I learned that you could ask to someone to take a picture for you by using: "zhang yi ge zhaopian". But I can't find any reference about it on nciku, is this correct? I can't even remember the chinese character for "zhang".
What about if I want to say: "I want to take some pictures" or "Can you take a picture of us, please?"

Perhaps what you want to say is," Pāi yī zhāng zhàopiàn " — take a photo.
If you want another person help you to take a photo, you can say, " láojià, nín kéyǐ bāng wǒ (wǒmen) pāi
yì zhāng zhàopiàn ma?"
If you want to offer your help to another person for taking their photo, you can say, " qǐng wèn nín xūyào
wǒ láo bāng nǐ (nǐmen) pāi zhèizhāng zhàopiàn ma？

If you want to say I want to take some pictures, you should say:"wo xiang yao pai yi xie zhao pian"

If you want to ask someone else to take a picture of you and some other people you should say:"qing ni bang wo men pai yi xie zhao pian"

照=take (take photo)
一张 = one (measure word for something small and thin on paper or card)
照片= photo

照一张照片 = take one photo

if u find u cant remember specific measure words when speaking Chinese, the default measure word is 个. so u can use that in most situation and you will be understood, however its not accurate.

I think there is something wrong with the sentence "zhang yi ge zhaopian".

It shoud be like this"Zhao yi ge zhaopian".

If you want somebody else to take a picture for you ,

you can say like this "ni neng bang wo pai yi zhang zhao pian ma?"

 I hope I can help you.
