What is Learned in This Lesson? Every language has structures and patterns for forming sentences. Mandarin Chinese is just the same. Needless to say, it is very important to learn the most commonly used Mandarin Chinese sentence patterns. This will help students form complete sentences and make it easier for Chinese language learners, or CSL language learners, to begin to speak fluently and express their opinions, thoughts and daily happenings accurately.

A 比 B. Piezas Caracteristicas Moreno Torroba Pdf Files there. (bi3) 比 (bi3) is the character that is used for comparisons in Mandarin Chinese. For those who have yet to learn how to make comparisons in Chinese, this is the most useful character to learn. Used in a sentence, its structure is pretty simple; the structure goes as follows: A 比 B and then an adjective.

Have a look at a couple of examples: 今天的天气比昨天的天气热。(Jin tian de tian qi bi zuo tian de tian qi re) = The weather today is hotter than the weather yesterday. 他的篮球比我的篮球好。(Ta de lan qiu bi wo de lan qiu hao) = He is better at basketball than me. 虽然。。。可是 (sui1ran2.ke3shi4) 虽然 means 'although' or 'though' and 可是 means 'but' or 'however.' This 可是 is placed here for emphasis. Check out a few example usages to get the hang of this commonly used Chinese sentence structure: 虽然老师很严 格，可是他心低不坏。(Sui ran lao shi hen yan ge, ke shi ta xin di bu huai) = Although the teacher is very strict, he is good person at heart.

虽 然下雨很大，可是我还想去打高尔夫。(Sui ran xia yu hen da, ke shi wo hai xiang qu da gao er fu) = Though the rain is very big, I still want to go play golf. 当。。。的时候 (dang1.de shi2 hou) When you say 'when' in Chinese, you must use the enclosed structure of '当。。。的时候.'

当 means 'to be' or 'to be equal to' in this sense and 的时候 means 'time' or 'when' in this sense. In spoken Chinese, the 当 is not necessary but it is always good to add for clarity. Notice that the time expression of 时候 comes after the topic of the sentence. 当我去中国的时候，我买了很多纪念品。(dang wo qu zhong guo de shi hou, wo mai le hen duo ji nian pin) = When I went to China, I bought lots of souvenirs. 我小的时候，我很喜欢吃肯德基。(wo xiao de shi hou, wo hen xi huan chi ken de ji) = When I was little, I really liked to eat KFC.
