Dee's Mandarin Tea
One point tired? Chinese mistakes my students actually make
<p>这期节目聊聊两个特别容易搞混的中文表达，顺便记住三个词。</p><p>第一个词，形容词 (xíng róng cí) adjective。中文里说累、忙、饿这些词，都是形容词。我的学生说，我今天一点累，其实是有点累。一点用在名词前面，有点用在形容词前面。比如，有点累，有点忙。</p><p>第二个词，名词 (míng cí) noun。东西、咖啡、衣服，都是名词。一点经常放在名词前面，比如吃一点东西，喝一点咖啡。</p><p>第三个词，得体 (dé tǐ) decent。穿和戴怎么分？我的小方法，不穿就不能得体出门的，用穿，比如衣服、鞋子。可以不戴照样出门的，用戴，比如帽子、眼镜。</p><p>In this episode, I talk about two pairs of words that often trip up learners. First, 一点 and 有点. A student of mine said 我今天一点累, but the natural way is 我今天有点累. Second, 穿 and 戴. English just says wear, but Chinese splits it. If it's something you need to be decent in public, use 穿. If it's something extra like a hat or glasses, use 戴.</p><p>Want to take one-on-one lessons with me?
