Chinese sentences 11 (longer phrases + tenses)
I like to learn Chinese because the Chinese language and culture are so unique.
我喜欢学习中文因为中国的语言和文化是如此独特.
I just had a Chinese lesson.--> 我刚才上了中国课.
I asked a lot of questions.--> 我问了很多的问题.(In 中文课, you can learn the language. In 中国课(what's that..??), I think maybe it is for the introduction of culture....... :D And for this sentence, 中文课 is correct.)
I love your light brown hat because when you wear it, you look even more cute.
我爱你浅棕色的帽子,因为当你戴上它,你看起来更可爱。(when we talk about "I love something(object)", it tends to be translated "love" as "like"→"我喜欢你的浅棕色的帽子". And "when" should be translated into"当···时"→“因为当你戴上它时”)
You can try it, but it is very unhealthy. --> 你可以尝试,但它是非常不健康. →它是非常不健康的/它非常不健康(just think about the example: He is very happy. →他是非常开心的。/他非常开心。 ”is“ means ”是····的“ , but sometimes we do not put it in one sentence and can also express the same meaning, like the latter translation. But when there is no "very", we should make the sentence complete, “他开心” is wrong and "他是开心的" is right. If you do want to translate it without "是", you can use some words to help, like "他很开心", the meaning is similar and do not influence the expression in daily communication. You know, teachers are strict when they mark the examination papers. :S )
Sometimes I like to eat it --> 有时我喜欢吃它
I am happy every day because I have you in my life --> 我很高兴的每一天 因为我拥有你在我生命→我每一天(都)很高兴,因为有你在我生命中。/因为有你在我生命中,我每一天(都)很快乐。
(wow...beautiful words, but difficult to translate poetically :S
To do simple translation, we can change the sentence to Chinese order: Because you are in my life, everyday I am happy.因为你在我的生命中,我每一天(都)很高兴, like the latter in my translation before. Here I use ”都“ to emphasize that the happiness is
always around you, every day, even every time. :D )
I try to eat with chopsticks. 我尝试用筷子吃饭.
We can go for a walk and afterwards cook dinner, how about?
我们可以去散步, 之后做晚餐, 怎么样?
-->here I want it to be a suggestion but I am not sure how to phrase it correctly :S.(In fact, I think you can use statements with the things you suggest, like"我们(先)去散步,之后做晚餐,怎么样?". )
Hoping to help.
0 votedJune 3, 20161- Cuz no sentences there, I would like to show my opinion just between the two phrases. I think ”什么“ in the latter is more likely to show the emphasis tone. The former focuses on "丢了"(lost). And the latter focuses on "东西"(you have nothing at all). Hoping to help. More questions, please comment on my answer.0 votedJune 3, 20160
- You can say"三点(sān diǎn)“ or ”三点钟(sān diǎn zhōng)“. Both of them are correct. In fact, ”钟点“(zhōng diǎn) is not used frequently in Chinese when we talk about the time. Until I have written this answer, I can only remember one example of the use of it in Chinese. Well, there are hotels near the airports or train stations that called "钟点房", where people can have a short term rest. ( Here, "房" means "房间", a room.) "钟头”and“小时” tend to mean "a period of time". When someone asks "How long", we can use them to show the length of time. And, "钟头" is more likely to be a kind of common saying in Chinese widely used in rural. In my memory, my grandparents often used it to talk about the time. :D "天色" mean a general estimate of the time in one day. In the past, clock is rare so that people learnt to tell the time of day by the position of the sun or other ways. "天" means the sky and "天色" means the condition of the sky or the general time in one day. "时间" can be directly translated into "time". But mostly we do not use it after the number to show "what the time it is". Hoping to help.0 votedJune 3, 20160
