Means "did mother scold the horse?" Put it in google translate and you get "Ma ma ma ma ma". Thats the shit you have to put up with in mandarin. Japanese? Shit I just read the yomo introduction in the languages section and im still in first semester Japanese.
If those chinese invade your abode, just tell them wo shi chung guo ren. Everything be alright then.

As my counter to this, I will first say NO.
I will then say "MA ma ma ma ma."

玛 doesn't even mean anything, you're just saying "Has mom scolded the horse ma?" and no, ma does not mean "mother" in this sentence.
To say "Has mom scolded the horse?" You say "妈骂马吗?" which is pronounced "ma ma ma ma" in chinese.
HOWEVER
If you noticed the the above sentence, all the words are similarly pronounced, AND they have a common part. All words include "马" in them. So just remember: ANY word you see with "马" in it is most likely pronounced "ma".
Also, it's "wo shi ZHONG guo ren", not "chung". There is no pinying of "chung", only "cheng" and "cheng guo" means city state. Therefore, you are saying "I am a city state person."
But, of course, "cheng guo" is not limited to only "city state"
"cheng guo" can be:
城国 － City State
成国 － Become a country
成果 － Result
城郭 － Castle
So learn chinese only if you are determined, cuz it's fucking hard, but useful as fuck in the future

I had Crepes once in France.
I was around 11 or so, and I thought it would be a good idea to order them with absolutely nothing inside them -- probably the driest food I have eaten in my life.
Around 2 years later I had it again with something inside, and good lord they sure as hell aren't bad. I'd hit it.
Anyway,
learn Chinese to welcome our future leaders.
