  • Chinese Grammar Simplified!! Chinese sentence structure is very different from English. A lot of students are confused about how to properly put words together. In this video, we are going to talk about how to build a statement and a question properly in Chinese.
    I will go more in-depth into other types of questions such as "yes or no", "A or B", or "how and why" in future videos.

      @@qi6303 your not wrong tho I’ve known it for my whole life but Spanish was a lot easier or maybe cause my family is Hispanic and we speak Spanish a lot

      @@qi6303 It's the opposite, honestly. English has one of the simplest grammars out of all the languages I've seen, with the only contender being Chinese. The only hard part about English is the pronunciation, but once you get past that it's smooth sailing, and compared to having to learn thousands of hanzi it isn't so bad. I think that's one of the reasons English is a lingua franca, because it's so easy to learn.

    • @AlexLPify
      @AlexLPify Před 3 lety +7

      @@qi6303 Actually between the three English , Chinese and Spanish the last one is the hardest, this is because spanish has a lot of conjugation on the verb and more grammar rules than english or chinese.
      In spanish the verb changes depending on the time (past,/present/future) and the subject
      (Yo /Tú / El / Ella / Nosotros/ Ellos), (I/You/He/She/We/They).
      for example: the verb play in spanish is "jugar" so when you say I/You/He/She/We/They play(s)
      in spanish, the verb changes according to the subject and time.
      Yo juego/ Tú juegas/ El o Ella juega / Nosotros jugamos/ Ellos juegan. All this in present time.
      Yo jugué /Tú jugaste /El o Ella jugó / Nosotros jugamos / Ellos jugaron. Past time.
      Yo jugaré / Tú jugarás / El o Ella jugará / Nosotros jugaremos / Ellos jugaran. Future time.
      We find that there are 14 variation of the verb "jugar". and this changes on every single verb in spanish.
      While in english you just write the same verb and just add "s", "ing", "ed", "ier", etc.
      And as you can see in this video, Chinese is an easy language, the only difficult thing is the pronunciation.
      Personally I'm a native Spanish speaker with chinese roots so
      i can tell you that this is nothing compare to spanish. So yeah, Spanish is the more difficult language to learn among these three.

    • @gristen
      @gristen Před 2 lety +3

      im here for the same reason lol. i heard that chinese follows the subject verb object sentence structure like english does which was interesting to me since japanese and korean, two languages that have borrowed chinese characters (although theyre less widely used in korea nowadays), are both subject object verb order.
      looking at how different these languages are from each other its interesting how they somehow managed to share a writing system. i get why they fell out of mainstream use in korea, outside of a scholarly context. i dont know all that much about korean but it seems to me that using chinese as its writing system was kind of like putting a square peg into a round hole.
      honestly, i kinda wish japan had dropped it as well so i wouldnt have to take so long learning all those kanji lol. i think kanji might be a bit more ingrained into the japanese language then it is in korean tho, so i dont think it can really be removed at this point
