Wow, I noticed these particles when speaking to my Chinese friends, and I began using them in my sentences to make them look more natural instead of basic sentences. I had no idea of what most of them really insinuated or meant, I just put one on the end and if it "felt right" I would use it that way. I'm amazed at how accurate I actually was after watching this!

[@barbaraventura9473]

I just started studying Mandarim this year and found your channel and loved, the way you explain makes everything easier to understand, thank you so much!!!

Tips for learning in Grace's channel. 1. After watching her content, open the material she has prepared 2. Feel free to re-watch 3. Try to absorb as much as you can before moving on to other content, so you really learn something from this Feel free to like if this were good reminder for you

[@Tangroo]

Grace, I admire all the hard work you put in to your videos, clips of people on TV speaking, explanation in english and of course real life scenarios. Thank you!!

[@peters8699]

Thanks so much!! Final particles are some of the most elusive and slippery aspects of the language (other than 嗎of course, that's straightforward). It feels like a bit more of an art than a science at times, and when you venture a guess and get it wrong, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I would almost think of 語助詞 as colors that you can add to the sentence, rather than something that strictly follows certain sentences or patterns. For instance, after watching a ton of 小明星大跟班, I started to pick up the habits of the female guests, at which point I realized it was time to start watching more male-focused content....

[@tainantaiwan8629]

LOL yeah men and women speak very differently in Chinese

[@elenamarie48]

Thank you! I'm just a begginer in chinese but this was very well explained

[@coolnanel]

Thanks Grace!! I like it that you say the sentences in normal speed. Other youtubers speak so slowly it's not normal conversation.

[@GuranPurin]

Thank you so much for this video, other than "ma" and some cases for "ba", I've always been confused on how to use some of these sentence ending words. Very helpful explanations! If possible, in the future, an idea for a video may be some common measure words that are important to learn. I think a lot of us learn some like specifics like "ben" for books or "jian/tiao/shuang" for clothes but then just use "ge" for everything else when we shouldn't do that XD That would be very helpful!

[@wktmalsMoli]

I knew this would be a good channel to subscribe to! ☺️ Really clear! 谢谢哦！ 我希望你下一个的短篇/视频包括“喽” 不知道如果是经常用的语气词但我北京来的朋友有时用。 反正， 我很期待啊 ☺️☺️

07:18 你没事吧 vs 你没事吗？Is there a difference in these 2 sentences? Also, when does 了 = le / liao?

[@imorichwu4797]

.吧 even I think it's not a big problem but still ask, due to I'm not you. 吗 I care about what happened on you and need you answer the certain thing.

[@chrisgarner3714]

How did you learn to speak English so well? You used the word “inkling” and I was impressed. Still, one would not say “have an inkling in your mind” because it is unnecessary or redundant to say “in your mind.” It is understood, without saying, because the mind is the only place you can have an “inkling.” This was a good lesson because I used “a” to tell someone “ni hao diao a” (a phrase learned from you) but I didn’t know why the “a” was there at the end. By the way, my friend was impressed and very amused that I used that phrase so thanks!!!

[@TheMgamesM]

If you say you have an inkling in your mind you are emphasizing that its just a trace of a memory, which is what she was going for. Its not redundant because the usage of 吧 wouldn't make sense if you just say something that is on your mind as opposed to something that you have an inkling of in your mind

[@DavidsonLoops]

When I first read 我不会说出去的 I thought it would mean "I can't say whether [I'm] going" but in context it's "I won't tell anyone" which is a good example of where my Chinese is lacking, I can't get a sense of the context when I hear it the first time.

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil

[@ronaldmctoxic8593]

Thanks for the video. I'm really grateful that you made a video explaining these particles. I have a question though. At 5:52 it says "你喜欢他" but beneath it says "you like h e r". I thought "他" was "he/him" and "她" was "she/her". Is there something I'm misunderstanding or was it a typo maybe? Thanks.

[@catherineaniezue2395]

i think it was a typo

[@amberkk1780]

I dont think that is a typo, because "他" can be used all kind of gender. (When you're not sure of a person's gender. You can just use"他") "她" this word was invented when the English was introduced into the Chinese language area. before that, we use the word "他" for all genders. Sorry if my English is weird.I'm still learn it.

Ah! Right! Thank you for pointing it out! 他 and 她 both can refer to females. :)

[@tronix4732]

哇塞，真的吗 所以说如果我写 ‘我喜欢他’ 你不知道是男的还是女的，对吗 lol 我只是好奇而已 :D

[@GraceMandarinChinese]

Tronix 如果你不想讓對方知道你喜歡的人的性別的話，你就可以用這個「他」。但如果你想指女性，而且不想被誤會的話，還是用「她」會比較好😊 (如果你不想让对方知道你喜欢的人的性别的话，你就可以用这个“他”。但如果你想指女性，而且不想被误会的话，还是用“她”会比较好😊)

[@tronix4732]

那我就用'她' 就可以了哈哈。谢谢你的解释啊。 好喜歡你的影片😉😍

[@liaupikhan]

他 is gender natural (and supposed to be gender natural.) 她 is new word after chinese was influenced by western culture. Many chinese dialects don't have gendered third-person pronoun.
