Newbie | Is so-and-so there?

You know you need to speak to “Li,” but don’t know how to ask if
he’s there. So you simply say “Li?” to whomever answers. Her name
isn’t “Li” and she keeps trying to tell you that; so you say
“No…Li!” which ends up in anger--and we’re a peaceful podcast. So
in this podcast learn how to ask if “(so-and-so) is there”, in
Mandarin Chinese. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0386
