[@HieuNguyen-qc6fh]

why it has "private video"???

[@kardak3317]

😀🙏

[@LocatelliCorinthians]

I love your videos, but this one I was really confused. 0:35 you said the Passive Voice Structure is: O+V+S But, at 1:31 you gave this sentence as example: 蛋糕被弟弟吃完了.

[@aifi4827]

Please write the meanings of the sentences for each example, Laoshi

[@issolomissolom3589]

Thanks for the great effort Can u provide the pinyin and translation for the examples Thank u

[@choconhoctiengtrung8762]

"你的柔情似水被紧紧包围": I can't understand the meaning of this sentence. In this sentence, [水 is surrounded ] or [你的柔情 is surrounded]? If [水 is surrounded ], then [水 is surrounded] by what? If [你的柔情 is surrounded], then [你的柔情 is surrounded] by what? I think about it for some days and can't understand. You guy, help me please! Thanks a lot!

[@containternet9290]

柔情似水 is an idiom which means deeply attachment. Understanding Chinese idioms is extremely hard so I suggest you use a dictionary whenever you come across four-character words which usually are idioms and never try to translate character for character. The best way to learn Chinese idioms for a foreigner is by memorizing the most common ones, never trying to understand the origin and history behind them because this far beyond advanced.

@@containternet9290 Thank you very much! ^_^

[@hannyfangz473]

老师，看了您的视频后，我想问一个问题就是"考试让我很紧张" 可以说"考试使我很紧张" 吗?

[@hannyfangz473]

还有，可不可以老师给我解释一下使用"向，对，为" ? 谢谢老师

[@dankhnw8]

Yeah but lets say i actually allowed my brother to eat my cake (maybe in an alternate universe)

[@mariakurakhtanova4229]

You explain very well, but there is one huge BUT: at the first minute your sentence structure is S+V+O, and in passive it turns to O+V+S. That is unfortunately wrong. The cake becomes the subject and brother becomes the object, so the passive sentence is again S+V+O. It is very confusing, I know, but this is the word order you will find in every grammar book. The cake doesn't do anything to the brother, it is still the brother doing something to a cake, but "cake" becomes - for whatever reason - the subject. P.S. actually instead of verb it's called predicate, but that's oK.

[@robertklotz9319]

You're right, it made me wonder too. The sentence structure S+V+O turns in English into O+V+S. But in Chinese it's O+S+V. It's like the explanation took a short cut in the video. About your PS. Predicate in English but in Chinese it's a verb.

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

老师好。比如 ( for example); 我的朋友去买书。 书被我的朋友去买。 ( passive voice ) 谢谢老师。

[@ispeakmandarin]

The passive shouldn't be used this way, 书被我的朋友去买 can be understood，but it doesn't sound natural, in this context, passive is not required.
