sorry I messed up my initial question. (I tend to press the keys too fast.)
I’ll try to explain.
My question:
In- TOPIC: Basic
Title: Are you O.K.;
Some of the setences have the word “very” missing in the English translation; does Chinese carrie
Many people think “ he is good “ in Chinese is “ ta shi hao” , but it doesn’t make sense. The correct one is “ta hen hao” , here “hen” is used as “ to be ”, if you want to say somebody or something is very good, in Chinese we say: ta fei chang hao. Fei chang means “very” the meaning is stronger then “hen”.
Therefore the structure is : subject + hen / fei chang + adjective. Here are some examples:
BMW hen gui -— BMW is expensive BMW fei chang gui -— BMW is very expensive

Please don’t blame Barbra Streisand for that song. Blame Bill Murray.
I need sounds.

Hi Benny. That was a great lesson.
Am I right in saying that if you want to say “I am … (happy/sad/angry etc.)”, you omit the ‘to be’ verb, i.e the ‘am’ part?
