    Beautiful day

    Today, I met a friend, her name is Sarah, That is a beautiful name.
    She comes from <strike>the</strike> America. SHE is a student<strike>s</strike>.
    She is now learning Korean.

    She HELPS me to learn English.
    I am very happy.
    I hope we can become good friends.

    Hi, dear Amy. Congratulations! Almost perfect writing! Remember: Names of countries don't need the article THE unless they have the words State(s), Republic or Kingdom. If the country is a group of islands it needs THE. Don't forget to write the personal pronoun and conjugate the verb according to the person.
    Thumbs up, Amy! :)

    Hi there... I'm learning (Mandarin) Chinese and I'm a Spanish native speaker. It's Okay if you don't speak Mandarin, I'm interested in Chinese grammar and vocabulary in general and I have some Cantonese speaking friends.

    Relative clause linker 안녕하세요! Please, help me correct this sentence: 어제 영화를 보던, 오늘엔 보고 날까해요. Verb root+던, example 먹던 사과 the apple I ate/ I was eating. I want to say that "Today I have the intention to see (the end) of the movie I was seeing yesterday". I don’t know how to link these two clauses, I used a comma, I guess it must there be a proper link. 감사해요!

    Difference between these structures 去 vs 到...去 Can you explain me the difference between these two structures: subject+去+地方 vs subject+到地方+去 (example: 我去书店 vs 我到书店去) I understand that these sentences mean “I go to the book store”. Is there any difference? 谢谢Thank you all for your comments. So, according to your answer, subject+去+ place is more formal than the other structure... No difference in meaning but formality?

    meaning of 江九人 I saw this inscription on a Chinese tumb: 江九人 I've been looking for it's meaning but I can't find a satisfactory answer. Is 江九 (jiāngjiǔ) a name, or a place? What's the pinyin transliteration for 人 here? Rén? ThanksThanks for your help... Maybe I should add more details to my question: it's a very old tumb inscription in a Chinese cemetery. Is 江 here a surname and 九人 indicates that 9 members of this family were buried there? If 江九 is a place, why is it written this way and not 九江? I have a picture so I'm quite sure 江九人 is the order in the inscription. Thanks again.

    잖아 and 고 ending a phrase... Can you help me, please, with this conversation? A:뭐 해? B:지금 바쁜데… A: 뭐해? B:바쁘다고… A:어, 알아. 근데 뭐 하냐고 했잖아… I have two questions. Question 1, 바쁘다고… is an incomplete phrase, isn’t it? Is B saying something like “I already told that I was/am busy!”? What’s the grammar structure here? Verb in infinitive+고? Can you provide some examples, please? Question 2, how can I use this 잖아? More examples, please. Is this the contraction of 지 않아? Thanks for your help.

    干 vs 做 What's the difference? I'd like to know what's the difference between 干 and 做 (if there's any).I have these two sentences: 现在在做什么呢。 你在干什么。 The question is not about the particle 呢 or the 现在. I understand that both sentences mean "what are you doing?" Is this anything like "do" and "make" in English? 谢谢!

    三月裡的小雨 - Chinese song In a Chinese karaoke song I heard this: 三月裡的小雨 淅瀝瀝瀝瀝瀝 淅瀝瀝瀝下個不停。 山谷裡的小溪 嘩啦啦啦啦啦 嘩啦啦啦流不停。 小雨為誰飌小溪為誰流。。。 I’d like to know if this 瀝 is an onomatopoeia for the raindrops. That’s what I infer from the first verse and the radical water (水) in 淅 and 瀝. Could you explain me these verses? The 啦 and 嘩 are exclamative particles, aren’t they? Are there any other uses besides the lalala use in songs? By the way, this is traditional Chinese, couldn't find the simplified version of 飌. 谢谢!
