PHONOMENON in Taiwan when you speak Chinese

To say "Also" in Chinese Video Lesson

Chinese Question Word Video Lesson

Chinese new WORD SLANG!

This is two of the cutest pictures of my baby dog~
Many of my friends say "好可愛!!" (so cute) when they see this photo.

好可愛 (T) / 好可爱 (S)
hǎo kě ài
...
- 好 here doesn't mean good, it means "very" "super" here before the adjective 可爱.
so if you see something is extremely, very cute, you say "好可爱hǎo kě ài "~~


But nowadays we have a new word called
萌 (T) / 萌 (S)
méng
- Originally 萌 means "germ of a plant" or "sprout" as a noun in Chinese. But now we can also use it as an adjective in Chinese. 

 Meaning "cute, to have a strong affection for (slang); adorable (loanword from Japanese 萌え moe, slang describing affection for a cute character)"

So you can also say "好萌 hǎo méng " to talk about something or someone is extremely adorable!!!
Just like my baby dog~~~
He is so~~~ 萌 méng~~~~

SMART Mandarin

 

 

(Traditional Chinese)

 

As we all know that 了(le)is one of the most important and also one of the most troublesome words in Chinese. And in our learning tips today, we’re talking about of the most important usages of 了(le).

 

Please see the following examples

 

1.      我(wǒ )昨(zuó )天(tiān )上(shàng )了(le )三(sān )個(ge )小(xiǎo )時(shí )的(de )中(zhōng )文(wén )課(kè )。

2.      我(wǒ )已(yǐ )經(jing )上(shàng )了(le )三(sān )個(ge )小(xiǎo )時(shí )的(de) 中(zhong1 )文(wén )課(kè )了(le )。

Can you tell the differences between the two sentences above?

 

Let’s take a look at the first sentence

我(wǒ )昨(zuó )天(tiān )上(shàng )了(le )三(sān )個(ge )小(xiǎo )時(shí )的(de )中(zhōng )文(wén )課(kè )。

(Yesterday I had three hours of Chinese lesson.)

 

昨(zuó )天(tiān ) yesterday shows that this sentence is a past tense. And when making a past tense sentence, we put 了 after the verb. Which is 上 in the sentence above.

In a past tense Chinese sentence, we put only one 了 after the verb of the sentence.

 

The second sentence

我(wǒ )已(yǐ )經(jing )上(shàng )了(le )三(sān )個(ge )小(xiǎo )時(shí )的(de )中(zhong1 )文(wén )課(kè )了(le )。

(I’ve been having Chinese lesson for three hours.)

From the sentence above, we don’t see any “past tense” word in it.

 

If you would like to say “ I’ve been doing something for a period of time.”

You need two 了. In your sentence.

First 了 place after the verb : 我(wǒ )已(yǐ )經(jīng ) 上(shàng ) 了(le )..

                                                               (verb + 了)

The second 了 is placed at the end of your sentence.

我(wǒ )已(yǐ )經(jing )上(shàng )了(le )三(sān )個(ge )小(xiǎo )時(shí )的(de )中(zhong1 )文(wén )課(kè )了(le )。
