你好! 我真喜欢你的视频. 我有别的语法问题. 如果我要说: I am reading a book. 在中文我们说: 我在看书./我正在看书. 可是如果我要表示否定的意思,哪一个下面的句子是对的: I am not reading a book. "我没在看书." 还是 "我不在看书." ?

女老師您好，大家好，同學們好，學生們好

[@jorgemariotoro3608]

I was told that the use of 因为 without 所以 in a phrase is incorrect, I see you’re doing it in the example phrase in the 3:17. Is that true? Than you!

[@leventelukacs1192]

「ビデオコンテンツはとても素晴らしいです、おめで

[@zese7819]

Useful video! And could you please tell me the differences between "沒“and”沒有“？

[@merylharriet2880]

I think 没 is "no" and 没有 is "not have" I just based with hello chinese app.

[@GuranPurin]

沒有 is don't have, 沒 is didn't/hasn't. 沒有 is specifically about not having something, 沒 by itself is just a negation word

[@chinesespeakwelsh]

As a native speaker, These two have no difference. Grammatically 没 by itself means "not have", 没有 is merely a two-syllable version of 没. They are interchangeable.

[@Lano-fr3uq]

好厉害啊。感谢您们的视频。您们可不可以做一个视频来分别“地的得”之间的区别吗？ 期待你们的新视频吧！

[@EverydayChinese]

我们会的！

上午好，老师。您的教课一前，我没有好的明白了怎么我可以用着这些两话的。所以，非常感谢！我很高兴因为我做了您的练习很好。我也写了您的示意图为了复习。有人们觉得汉语容易。 但我相信汉语不容易！我的最大问题是听懂聊天儿和说。我因该说话的时候，我害怕！我有差好的练习。再谢谢。再见。

[@larissamelo7507]

i do not understand something: in first question she told "想" is being used as a modal verb, but in the explanation she told "想" is a modal verb that can be used with 没. can someone help me to understand it?

平时根本没注意还有这些区别，真是辛苦外国朋友了

well 不 bu is for present then why you used mei 没 for present? even 不 bu is for present & future but you did use it for past.Could you kindly explain why?

爱你！Love you！

[@SuveHohora]

Any possibility of doing this lesson in English? Great examples and explanations!

[@CrystalsTrips1]

Maclaren Suve-Hohora the subtitles are in English. This is a mandarin speaking video so people can learn mandarin

[@SuveHohora]

@@CrystalsTrips1 Was just hoping if the presentors could speak in English for this particular lesson. Reading and trying to understand the content simultaneously can be quite tedious for a beginner like me lol

[@kaffeekohi4635]

Progress is faster with immersion.

[@CrystalsTrips1]

@@SuveHohora I'm a beginner as well and I found lots of videos spoken in English on YT. I like this explanation but there are others to get you started

[@SuveHohora]

@@CrystalsTrips1 Thank you crystal, will definitely do that! I also liked this video too! It thoroughly covered most of my unanswered questions with regards to the use of "mei" & "bu". I guess I'm just being lazy not wanting to read the subtitles🤭 Cheers & all the best in your Chinese language studies🙏🏽

[@muhammadarshadhashmi4349]

[@andrewwenzel5965]

I am sometimes confused with the word yao = will (as the future) and yao = want. Bi ru: Wo yao chi yi ge ping guo = I want to eat an apple. But It seems that it also means, "I will eat an apple." I am aware that I can also say: wo xiang chi yi ge ping guo. Can you help with my confusion?

[@EverydayChinese]

Hi, Andrew. Hope this video (想/要/想要) can help with your Chinese studies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIXddqWXj9WMopY

[@ynntari2775]

我不想去 is translated as "I don't want to see a movie". Wouldn't it be "I don't want to go"?

[@timoher8594]

那老师，或者，还是，要不 怎么用呢

[@weishun999]

对不起，想请教一下。"想"的其中的意思是打算、希望的意思。 那在"我不想吃沙拉。"这个句子，是不是应该代表为将来式，而不是现在式呢? 请您指点。谢谢

[@EverydayChinese]

[想] 在汉语里面也有很多意思。 动词 1. （思索） think; ponder: think of a way; try to find a solution; 想办法 have really thought of everything; 想得真周到 2. （推测; 认为） suppose; reckon; consider; think: Do you think it will rain? 你想会下雨吗? Who could have supposed it was you who did it? 谁会想到这是你干的? 3. （希望; 打算） want to; would like to; feel like (doing sth.): Do you want to see a football match? 你想看足球赛吗? I should very much like to see it. 我非常想看看它。 4. （怀念; 想念） remember with longing; miss: After you left, we all missed you. 你走了以后， 我们都很想你。 I have a great longing for home. 我非常想家。 所以 "我不想吃沙拉。" here 想 means want to; would like to; 表示人的目前意愿，我（现在）不想吃沙拉。如果对应英文时态，就是一般现在时。

[@avamaychereau6119]

Can someone please explain why bu sometimes uses the 2nd tone and sometimes uses the 4th tone? thx :)

[@EverydayChinese]

Chinese Tone Change Rules kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqLSkJqfmJZ-Z8U

[@mountaintag]

For 没关系, I wonder if we can think of it as 没有关系 ("there is no relevance"). So 不 could not be used here. And for 不客气, I wonder if we can think of it as 不要客气 or 不用客气 ("don't be polite"). So 没 could not be used here. Unless we want to say 没用客气 ("it's useless to be polite"). But that's maybe for another lesson. :-) :-)

[@EverydayChinese]

You said is correct except that if we want to say "it's useless to be polite", we should say: 客气没用 or 客气不管用.

[@mountaintag]

@@EverydayChinese Thank you for the clarification. Chinese word order remains to be a challenge for me. But I guess the important thing here is that 不用 and 没用 have entirely different meanings.

[@EverydayChinese]

Good explanation. 没关系 and 不客气 are basic Chinese. We can just memorize them instead of focusing on the grammar. 关系 is a noun in Chinese (here means impact), so we use 没 or 没有 in 没关系（没有关系）. 客气 is an adjective in Chinese here, so we use 不 in 不客气. 客气是人与人之间一种最简单的语言交换。If he says [谢谢], you will say [不客气].

[@EverydayChinese]

@@mountaintag Yeah, it means it's meaningless, it's not worth being polite. For example, if someone begs you for sth and you can't accept it even if he shows quite polite, then you respond by saying: 客气也没有用，or 客气也不管用.😊

[@Li.Siyuan]

1. 5:10 Are you missing a falling tone mark on the pinyin for 去？ 2. I'm not American; what on earth is a psych verb? Otherwise very clearly explained and useful. Thank you.

您好老师！我要问一个问题。我不知道“几 ：serveral 和 几：. how many " 怎么用的？对不起老师如果我写得不对、请告诉我吧、因为我是柬埔寨人、在学习汉语。先多谢老师。

[@EverydayChinese]

1. 几：used to say a number from 2 to 9. 2.多少：usually to say a number larger than 10.

[@ynntari2775]

7:30 - it's so good to have a word for each, both Learner and Teacher in Norwegian are "Lærer". It's so confusing. Jeg er ikke en lærer, jeg er en lærer (I'm not a lærer, I'm a lærer)

[@MagicOfNorway123]

You could say "student" in Norwegian too, "Jeg er ikke en student, men en lærer".
