It's interesting that many of these pairs of words can be combined to form new words. Probably the most common one is 多少. There is also 左右 ("approximately"). Another one I like is 上下. I think it is only used in 上下班 ("commute"). Perhaps there can be a sequel video about these kinds of words. The story of 东西 would certainly make an interesting item. :-)

[@EverydayChinese]

Thanks for your great idea. We'll summarize those interesting words in the future.

[@mountaintag]

Maybe you can call your new video "Opposites Attract - Antonyms that pair up to form new words". Have fun !! :-)

[@EverydayChinese]

@@mountaintag Sounds great, thanks.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

dongxi supposedly has a mythic origin something like they asked the king and he said look west then they asked again he said look east and when they still couldn't find it he was surprised because all the THINGS from west to east were royal property. There's a basket in the myth somewhere. In fact xi 4 west nest are etymologically related in Chinese, and a basket holds things as a nest holds eggs. so i think that may also be the origin? Anyway it's a metaphor for "every THING under the sun from East to West".

[@CapitalTeeth]

It reminds me a lot about my native language, Dutch. We literally just glue words together to make a new one. English does that too, actually. Just not very often.

This is a very good way to expand vocabulary and also introduce idiomatic expressions. However, I think that for people learning Mandarin it will be more useful to have word-by-word Mandarin-English transliteration, not translation.

first thank you for your video, I found it very educational. I am a HSK3 Chinese student in the UK. I found it both educational and interesting. I can see that there are many idioms. Excellent video. Great pace. It crosses all levels of HSK learning. It is very easy to listen to and understand. Thank you very much for your video. I look forward to seeing many of your new and insightful videos. Thanks again I will share your videos to as many people in the Wales (UK) as I can. Look forward to your next videos. Thanks again

Masterpiece of video. 我有疑问，差不是好的反义词吗多谢你

[@EverydayChinese]

你说的对，“差”也是“好”的一个反义词。 “坏”和“差”都表示不好的意思。 “坏”主要指人的不好(比如缺点多、品质恶劣)，或者指具体的事物不好。比如：坏人，坏事，坏消息，坏天气； “差”主要指没有达到一定的标准。比如卫生条件差，坏境差，学习成绩差，衣服质量差。

[@QuizmasterLaw]

Thank you so much! This is a really good theme and I have only seen ONE other podcast on it (zhongwen red) which did just exactly one episode on X xiangdui de shi Y. This theme is an EXCELLENT vocabulary builder in any language! Gan xie lao shi!

[@EverydayChinese]

You're welcome. What else themes do you want to learn? Maybe you can tell us, and we'll try our best to help you learning Chinese.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

More opposites (antonyms). Synonyms (different words which mean the same or very similar things). Anything to do with the legend of madam white snake :D

8 / 12 / 2018 good video , i suggested for others sites to make videos for opposite vocabulary but they did not . i hope you make it so repeat the chinese words twice if would make , so learners could study and if one word will forget the other word will come to memory and i think you know to learn tow words together is better , thanks ...

[@EverydayChinese]

或者 is normally used in a statement in which options are presented. e.g. 我明天去或者后天去。 还是 is usually used to provide choices or options when asking a question. e.g. 你喜欢喝茶还是咖啡？ But you can also use还是 in a statement in below situations: 1.when you don’t know or aren’t sure about something, you should use 还是. e.g. 我不知道这本书是他的还是我的。 2.when you know something will not be changed no matter what happens. e.g. 无论刮风还是下雨，邮递员都会按时送信。
