I guess that 才 delivers the nuance of "finally" or "at last". What do you think? Btw, I am enjoying your program very much.

Could it be that the difference between "cai" and "zhi" is only problemtic for English speakers? As a speaker of German, it seems to be that "cai" means "erst", while "zhi" means "nur" in my language.

I'd be interested in a comprehensive 就 video. In addition to the textbook "一什么就什么" pattern, and a close similarity to english "just", there seem to be other uses that are vague in my head, and i've just picked up by intuition, and hope i'm not fucking them up too bad. But that's my favorite chinese word, probably. Except for 岩浆... that's an amazing piece of derivational morphology for you.

才 means (only) a short while ago. 只 refers to other uses of "only" (Only 3 hours left, only 1 banana, ...). In German it is easy. 才 is "erst" and 只 is "nur". For some more examples on 只 have a look at this: resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22only%22_with_%22zhi%22

Thank you for this video! very helpful! However, part of it is contradictory to what my Chinese teacher taught us about 刚才。 It is not supposed to be used with verbs with a perfective aspect, like 吃完 or 到. Instead it should be used with imperfective verbs like 在吃, 打电话 etc。I've written the following examples : CORRECT: 我刚才在吃饭。 刚才有人打电话。 INCORRECT:我刚才到。我刚才吃完。in these sentences only 刚刚 can be used. What do you think about it?

I'm not so sure about that 才35度而已. As a Chinese I would say that meaning "come on it's not so cold, only 35 degree, nothing serious". If I want to express it's 35 degree and cold indeed, I would use 只有35度

do the different uses between "剛才" and "剛剛才" vary between region and/or country? in Northern China they seem to be pretty interchangeable with "剛才" primarily used as "just now" while "剛剛才" being more feminine (or so it seems)
@jonathonharbeck7287 Жыл бұрын
Its more like 剛才 , versus 剛剛+才 。 First means just now (between now and a short while ago) and gang gang + cai means , just now (at this moment) only . Hopefully a native can correct me if this is wrong but I pretty sure thats right.

Can you try to justify where to use 二 and where to use 两?cause they both mean two, but I'm not aware of any pattern of where you would use on or the other. You're just taught either one or the other...
@Belbecat8 жыл бұрын
Basically, you'd only use 二 when counting, 兩 is used pretty much when saying you have "two of" anything.
@squigoo7 жыл бұрын
兩 is used before a measure word to mean "two of something". 二 is used when counting like ㄧ二三四五, or when saying "second", like 二月 (february, "second month"), 星期二 (tuesday, "second weekday"), or 第二 ("second"). also, 二 is used before 十 to make 二十 "twenty", but to say larger numbers you use 兩, so "two hundred" and "twenty thousand" would be 兩百 and 兩萬 (because 萬 means "ten thousand").

I really didn't get why you avoided to use the word "just" instead of "only", I mean with "just" they all make normal senses. I've just discovered today, I just got here at 4:30 etc.

Ben I can't differentiate between c and s . Help please
@romanr.3018 жыл бұрын
Yashvardhan Rautela - One pronounces 'c' in Mandarin as if it were a 'ts'. So 'cái' (才) is pronounced 'tsai' as opposed to 'sai'. And 'z' is pronounced more like 'dz', a buzzing sound almost. Such as 'zài' (在) = dzai. And 's' is just pronounced as it is in English, but never like 'z' (like in 'rose').
@squigoo7 жыл бұрын
it's like the difference between x and q, or sh and ch. s is like an english s, and c is like a ts sound, with a strong puff of air like with ch, q, p, t, etc. z is not like an english z or dz- it's like a ts but with no puff of air, or like dz but without vibrating your vocal chords.
