Yoyo Chinese 2 (incl. comparisons) Flashcards
Have fun!
Wán de kāi xīn
How did you sleep last night?
Nǐ zuó tiān wǎn shàng shuì jiào shuì de zěn me yàng?
To rest
Xiū xi
She is sick
Tā bìng le
You came early.
Nǐ lái de hěn zǎo. (You don’t use “le” when you use the “de” structure, so there is no difference btwn “You come early” and “You came early” besides context.)
You came earlier than me.
nǐ bǐ wǒ lái de zǎo. （you drop “hěn” in comparison sentences, and again you don’t use “le” when you use the “de” structure)
