Hello everyone, I’m Grace.
Today, I’m gonna be talking about Chinese separable verbs!
This is one of the key points that make you sound more like a native.
If you don’t get used to using separable verbs,
people might still understand you,
but it sounds pretty strange and unnatural.
So today let’s learn 15 common separable verbs.
Let’s go!
In case you don’t know what “separable verb” is,
let me briefly explain it to you:
And of course, if you already knew it,
feel free to jump into the next part.
OK let’s get into it:
In Chinese, Some verbs can be separated when used.
Mostly these verbs are in the VO structure.
For example:
見 面 is to meet
念 書 is to study
So in many cases, we treat these kinds of verbs as two words
—a verb and an object.
But the bad news is that you cannot use them as normal verbs and objects.
You have to learn how to use each separable verb.
My advice is to not worry
and not force yourself to remember all these usages at once,
just recognize them first and then listen more and read more to learn them,
or you can even watch this video over and over again
to form a sense of how to use these verbs
OK, and next, let’s move on to the 15 common separable verbs
and some examples.
OK, that’s all for today.
