“World is crazier and more of it than we think, / Incorrigibly plural.”

My Mandarin lessons on Duolingo have finally given me an immediately useful, as opposed to tourist useful, phrase:

谁在我的后面？
Shéi zài wǒ de hòumiàn?
Who's behind me?

I can even manage both the requisite playful intonation and the tones.

(There's probably four other ways of saying this, at least half of them more idiomatic, but that's the grammar I can has nao.)

TBD thinks I am a very silly Dada.
