Comparing 再 (zai) /又 (you) / 多 (duo) /少 (shao) + Verb - Chinese Grammar Simplified

[@fernandomartins2035]

I live in France🇫🇷 and i’m Portuguese 🇵🇹…so during lockdown I decided to Learn Chinese 🇨🇳 using English platforms 🇬🇧. So i ended up here gathering information ‘cause i ain’t paying to learn a language; 中文 is kinda difficult with too many Ming’s and Xing’s …but is memorizing a whole new language that proves to be difficult 😳

Good luck with your endeavor.

I usually translate Chinese sentences into my language, first time trying this, it's difficult, I should do it more. But I tried: 请再跟我们唱一首歌。 在昨天的考试我错过了一个问题。 你明天需要起得早, 所以少喝一点酒。 Thanks for the lessons, i love your channel!

@@ChineseGrammarSimplified "少做一道题", 很好！ Now I understand better the "少+verb". And also learned 道 as a modifier, 多谢！

謝謝您

A natural way of thinking about this in English that preserves the word order is "To under/over verb by one noun". e.g. "I overbought by one cup of coffee" , "I'm underdressed by one item of clothing", etc.

Great tips!

[@jessandsometimesacat8251]

I love your videos, they are very clear. I wonder whether you could do one on lesser known usages of 的 such as when 的is used to create 'balance' and to make a Chinese sentence sound better. Also when it is used at the end of a sentence looking back and thinking about what you should have done. Also any other usages there are. I know you did one on 的for possession and the 是。。。的 construction, but the lesser known usages keep tripping me up and I can't find much info on them. Just a request, feel free to ignore! Thanks for your brilliant videos 😊

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Thanks, I will keep that in mind

谢谢您！i have one question though. Can I write/say: “可以写：我又想吃了一个苹果” if i want to express that i wanted to eat another apple in the past, but then didn't?

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

No you cannot. For thoughts and feelings, we don't add 了 to "conjugate" the verb even they happened in the past.

[@jojoking6638]

In most cases you can use English grammar to speak Chinese, for example, he wants to read another book,"他想《再》看一本书"and“他想看一本书《再》” are correct

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

people speaking 东北 dialect do love to 倒装, and say 他想看一本书再。 But that is in no way standard Mandarin grammar.

[@ignitemoment]

These two are not same colloquially. The first means (he read one book, then) he wants to read ANOTHER book. The second means (he did something probably other than reading a book), THEN he wants to read a book AFTER THAT. The second is the same as 他还想看一本书.

[@notnotcharles3022]

the way he has to explain what chileyigepingguo means makes me feel that I should have learned this a long time ago

[@wrpsocal3838]

我不知道 如果你 have ever done 一个课 about the 用 of "把" it's 非常难 for 我 to understand the concept of 这个字. Change of position/location/situation of something you can pick up with 你的手??? Ugh, I'm confused 我吃了一个苹果 vs 我吃把了一个苹果 希望 这些 makes sense 谢谢你 老师 😊

He ate an apple too many . Ta duo chi le yi ge ping guo. What does it mean "an apple too many " You mean to say most of the part of an apple .please help me to explain this.thanks teacher

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Imagine this, there are three apples on the table for three brothers, and one of them ate two. So the other two brothers said: "He ate an apple too many. He was only supposed to eat one."

[@ignitemoment]

many is an adjective, not an adverb. What you mean should be "He ate an apple too much".

[@beautyofthenature1009]

Ta duo chile yi ge ping guo. Plz explain this

[@ignitemoment]

@@beautyofthenature1009 This means he ate one more apple (than expected or others).

In the end you labeled shao as (and) with no explanation. You confused my old brain.
