Chinese future tense - figure out the differences between huì 会 and yào 要

[@QuizmasterLaw]

Great video! I've never seen the difference between hui and yao explained like this before, thank you so much. Most newbie lessons say "there is no such thing as tense in Chinese" which is not really true in fact. Then when they finally get around to teaching "well, you can kinda do the future tense with "hui" they often omit "yao". Meanwhile, most newbie lessond don't teach that Yao in Chinese can also mean "must", i.e. am under a social or physical obligation to do something. I'm unsure why this point of basic grammar is not well taught but it isn't so good job and I hope your video breaks out and gets lots of views. You surely also know, but no one expressly is teaching: we can form future conditionals with "ying gai". Example: I should sweep the kitchen = Wo ying gai da sao chu fang. I haven't yet, I might, in the future, and ought to. Xiang yao is another way to express uncertain future, "I would like to go to China" "Wo xiang yao qu zhong guo" [but I might not]. Xiang yao is the most subjective, the least certain to occur? Great video! Liked commented subscribed.

[@zoeythesharer9050]

Yea right. Well cuz Chinese time tenses are not very strict, like we don't change verbs, mostly regular sentence plus a time adverb is good enough, that's why many ppl actually forget about a lot time tense verbs. 😊

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@zoeythesharer9050 I would have had a lot more to say had Chinese been a language having such complicated conjugations as English is known to have, and to have had throughout its history in fact :) Hope it gets a laugh: simple past and -ing and would are really all one needs to for English tenses though yeah, tense is the most complicated part of English.

[@wgarlt1659]

All these examples clearly support the point that there are no tenses in Chinese, Chinese is not build on WHEN? past-present-future like Western languages, but - much more practical - on WHY? want-need-have to as main aspect.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@wgarlt1659 Someone else did an excellent video on Chinese as a topic comment oriented language.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

@@wgarlt1659 English and German, like Chinese both use "want" for future tense, but in English the "want" desire meaning of "Will" fell into disuse. You CAN express simple tense in Chinese but none of the crazy complex ones nor subjunctive, conditional, or verb aspects (which don't exist in English but do in Russian).

Hey Sorry for replying late. yao + verb is that it either expresses ‘to want’ or ‘to need’ quite emphatically; mostly it is used to express a definite intention or a future action. There is another word xiǎng想 that is mostly used to express want, xiǎng+verb means want to do. The difference between these two is: 'xiang do something' expresses more like an idea, 'yao do something ' expresses a definit intention. xiang go to Beijing means want to go to Beijing, yao go to Beijing means will go to or need to go. Therefore "to want" is just one meaning of yao, actually, "to need" will be more accurate. When yào is followed by a noun, it expresses more like "want", for example, when we order food, in English we say I want this, this and that, in Mandarin we say "wǒ yào this or that", you can understand it is still a definit intention right?

why is “offer” written in English?

You're probably not looking for ideas for your videos but just in case... There seem to be a lot of ways to say « a bit, a little » in Chinese. A video explaining which ones to use and when could be useful... In any case thank you for your videos.

[@zoeythesharer9050]

Oh thank you! No I appreciate any ideas. I wanna know what you guys wanna learn so that I can prepare teaching videos specifically.

[@user-cm7ln6rp5k]

Thank you very much! But what about 将 jiang?

[@zoeythesharer9050]

jiang is used to express “going to”, future time tense, it’s more objective, used to express something will happen soon. Usually it will go with “hui” and “Yao”, “jiang hui” and “jiang yao”, (same meanings with “hui” and “yao” but not very oral languages, you will see these expressions more in literatures,.

I've been practicing Chinese on Duolingo recently just to practice writing sentences and one of the sentences that I got wrong was written like this in English; "Emma is going to sing at 8pm", and I translated it as "Emma 晚上八点会唱歌”, why is this wrong? My friend told me, it's more correct to say "Emma 晚上八点要唱歌” OR ”Emma 打算晚上八点唱歌”. Why can't I use 会 as I did in my original translation?

[@zoeythesharer9050]

Like I explained in the video, 会 is more objective, mostly will be used as English "will do", 要 is more subjective, so mostly used as English phrase "is going to do". Let me explain with different example, 明天会下雨(It will rain tomorrow), sounds more like an objective fact, I just watched weather forecast So I know. 明天要下雨 contains a bit of my own forecast, however, these two expressions are very very close like Even most Chinese ppl won't notice there is any difference. So for Emma is going to sing, I personally feel it's more like a personal plan or decision, so 要 or 打算 will be more proper for this expression. Also in my own perspective, 会 also can be used to express "master a skill", like 我会开车(I can drive)，so mostly 会 won't be followed by a verb that can be used to describe some skill(like driving, dancing, swimming etc.) when is used to express "will" or "going to", cuz will cause a bit misunderstanding. Let's say John is coming tonight. We can say, John今晚会来，or John今晚要来，both are correct, because the verb "come" is just a regular verb. BUT, Chinese is a very flexible language without very strict grammar. Emma晚上八点会唱歌, theoretically it's not wrong, I give you a scenario, my neighbor sings everynight at 8pm, So I told my friend "我的邻居(neighbor)晚上八点会唱歌", it's an absolutely right expression, AND, in this expression, 会 is even better than 要. Cuz I was stating an objective fact. So if we wanna figure out how to make right expression, we have to figure out the speaking context as well. So all in all, if there was no context for the Emma is going to sing at 8pm, then 要 might fit more, but doesn't mean it has to be the only correct answer. Hope my explanation can help you out. 🤓

I have learnt that "hui"means 'can" . Does it also mean "will"?

[@zoeythesharer9050]

Yes. In future tense, we use it as “will”. It is used as “can” when you master a skill or technique usually. Like I can drive, in Mandarin is “wǒ huì kāi chē ”，(kāi chē means drive a car)

[@martinhartecfc]

Please can I ask you why my Chinese students of English often use "will" to describe their habits and hobbies in the present? I feel like they are trying to expess something important to them that maybe they use "hui" or "yao" for in Chinese, because they DO know the present tense. In fact, even when shown the "correct" present tense form, the don't like it and are reluctant to use it (if I encourage them not to use "will", they usually switch to "like to", because they really don't like to use the present tense for this). I want to know so that I can help them find an adverb or something to express whatever that thing is, because "will" is rarely correct for present habits (there are certain exceptions to do with, for example, annoyance at someone else's habits, but mostly you can't use "will"). I'd really appreciate any insight you could give me into this.

[@zoeythesharer9050]

Chinese language doesn't have very strict time tenses, so many Chinese get confused when they learn English time tenses. " what do you do at weekends?" They tend to understand this question as future tense. Cuz in Chinese, this question sounds like " what will you do this weekend?" For example, "what do you do at weekends?" in Chinese present tense, it's "you usually do what at weekends?", in past tense it's " you last weekend do what?" In future tense, it's " you weekend do what? So you can tell that Chinese language doesn't change verbs in different tenses, therefore, without any time adverbs, it can be present tense, it can be future tense. That's my guess about why they understand present tense as future tense. About "like to", that's a Chinese speaking habit. If we ask ppl "what's your hobbies?" In Chinese many ppl would answer with "I xi huan(like)do something", xihuan(mandarin) means like. For English beginners, they haven't changed their thinking habit yet, will organize a sentence in Chinese in their heads then translate it into English then speak it out. That's also me many years ago. Lol That's my own perspectives tho, hope it can help you out. Welcome to discuss with me if you have more questions.

[@martinhartecfc]

@@zoeythesharer9050 Thank you for your reply. Some of it was similar to what I was thinking and some was new to me. Of course I work very hard to try to make the meaning as clear as I can, but it could be that you are right and in this case I haven't succeeded very well. I will ask some questions next time to see if they have misunderstood the meaning as "this weekend" or "this Friday", etc. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a Chinese teacher's perspective on this. Thanks a lot.

[@martinhartecfc]

@@zoeythesharer9050 Also what you say about adverbs is really helpful. I had naturally found myself more and more starting to use adverbs a lot with my Chinese students. What you say should have been obvious to me: it's not reasonable to expect Chinese students (except the advanced ones) to use cues like tense or plurals to understand the meaning. I will make a point to always use an adverb (e.g. of time or frequency) with them when we cover these topics and I explain the task.
