Activities
- 👩🏫When "很" is not translated as very, but as "is"? Why "I am good" is "我很好“ not "我是好"? 🤷♂️ In English, nouns can be "linked" to adjectives and other nouns with the verb "to be." In Chinese, nouns are linked to other nouns in one way but linked to adjectives in a completely different way. Nouns are linked to other nouns with 是 (shì). Nouns are linked to adjectives with 很 (hěn). n + 是 + n n + 很 + a d j 很 (hěn) in this structure often it is just a way to link a noun to an adjective and it can be translated as ”to be“, and the sentences could be translated as "(Noun) is (adjective)." 🤓For example: 我很饿 wǒ hěn è / I'm hungry. 她很可爱 tā hěn kě ài / she is very cute 中文很简单 zhōngwén hěn jiǎndān / Chinese is simple0 votedMarch 13, 20210
