You know what, I am a native Chinese speaker. I just came to KZbin for learning Chinese grammar from a second language learner's perspectives for fun, because im interested in languages. And I found that it does something good in my English learning, especially in translation. What an unexpected gain! I have finished many of your videos!

Hello from Nepal

[@dvonnwilcher9276]

学生们在安静安静地听老师讲故事。 我公司里的男生，个个很帅。 我真想去海滩轻松轻松。

[@qianfeizhou8265]

As was mentioned in the video, 安静安静 would be considered as verb, therefore, here, it should be reduplicated to the form AABB, i.e. 安安静静地

@@qianfeizhou8265 ahhh you're right. thanks Qianfei

1。学生们安安静静地听到老师的故事 2。个个男人在我的公司很帅。 3。我真想去海边轻轻松松。 Feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes😊

[@djbslectures]

Very interesting but some of this starts to feel overwhelming. Especially the different types of reduplicated measure words (with or without yi)

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Yes, that’s a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@mikee1871]

May I know how you do your animation , what type of software are u you using ?

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

it’s called Video Scribe

[@brunocardoso7132]

so 一点点 is 一+reduplication of the measure word 点? and it means little by little?

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Not quite, 一点点 is pretty much the same as 一点

[@m.j.golden4522]

At about three minutes 20, you used the Chinese word Yao but you translated it as should. What about the word YINGGAI being translated as should? I get really confused about these suggestion words because they seem to be interchangeable in any manner of ways. Have you done any videos on the differences between should, want, would like and even if you have, once again, why are you translating Yao as should in this video if you don't use YINGGAI?

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Very good question. There are several ways to say “should” including 应该 and 得(dei3), but when you see a sentence starting with 你要 followed by a suggestion, it is almost always true that it should be translated or understood as “you should”. I will keep your suggestions in mind for future videos.

[@brunocardoso7132]

hey so 一下下 in this sentence means “one time after another” ? 看着车窗外一直在变又似乎始终一样的风景，广播里终于报出了蒋丞的目的地。旁边的姑娘脑袋动了动，看样子是要醒，他迅速从书包里抽了根红色的记号笔出来，拔开笔帽拿在手里一下下转着。

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

yes

[@brunocardoso7132]

@@ChineseGrammarSimplified thank you soooo much for your video. I couldnt find anything on the internet about 一 + reduplicated measure words and now I finally understand 一下下

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

@@brunocardoso7132 You are very welcome. Glad that I can help.

[@Yoooomanwhatsup]

Can you please tell the use of (he) in these sentences Wo he laoshi shuo zaijian. Here the translation says. I said goodbye to the teacher. And in this ' wo xiang he ni kan dianying' I would like to watch a mobie with you. Could yoh please elaborate the ' he ' word.

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

A 和/跟 B 说 = A says to B

[@Yoooomanwhatsup]

Oh i think he is like a preposition with multiplies use

[@ncaa4life611]

（2）个个男人在我的公司很帅。（3）我真想轻松轻松去海滩。

[@qianfeizhou8265]

For the first one, it’s better to say 我的公司的男人，个个都很帅。 And the second one would be better if you say 我真想去海滩轻松轻松。

[@mountaintag]

@@qianfeizhou8265 Yes, I think there is some rule in Chinese grammar saying that 在… is not really good in these kind of situations, because these men are not really inside the company. So 我的公司的男人 should be used, which is something like "my company's men". Similarly, "the men in my family" would be 我家的男人.
