I noticed that Chinese grammar is almost the same as Korean grammar, except the SVO form. The noun modifiers are also placed before the noun in korean as well. In korean, you add ㄴ/은, which works like 的 in most cases.

@Burak-gr4ee 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Grace! My native language is Turkish and is also a left side language. For example; eve gelen(who came home) çocuk (kid) = Kid who came home. I was always trying to use English word order when I try to practice my Chinese because i heard that they are both SVO, so close; but thank you, I won't try it anymore.👍🏻 Day by day, I see that Chinese is not only similar to English but also Turkish. It is close to agglilative languages around of it. We also add "mı, mi, mu, mü" to ask yes and no questions in Turkish. For example; "İyi mi?" means "Is s/he/it good?", and in Chinese it is 好吗？(hǎo ma?). We also have common words like yen- in Turkish, (means to win, from Ottoman Turkish yeng-, Old Turkic yeng-), 赢 （yíng）in Chinese (means to win), etc. I didn't know we have that much common. That makes me more enthusiastic to learn Chinese. Even though Chinese is not a agglilative language, it doesn't have irregular verbs as in any agglilative language. It is just like an agglilative language. For example we add -dı/di/du/dü to end of the verbs to create past tense, and you do the same thing with 了(le). Same for the other tenses. No irregularity, no plural suffix after plural objects (as in two pencils), no gender... I'm lucky than the other guys here who speak only English. Because i think Chinese grammatically is between Turkic and English. If there was Latin alphabet and no tones, it would be a piece of cake for me❣️✌🏻

The dependent or attributive clause can precede (left-branches) the modified word in formal German and did so in Classical Attic Greek, so this was not unheard-of in Europe.

Thanks for the term left-branching. I've heard it said that Chinese is a topic-comment language. First the topic, then comments thereon. While Chinese sentences can be force-fit into STPMVO, a possibly awkward but grammatically correct word-order proceding as Grace teaches here is better.

hi grace, i am learning chinese and I learned Russian before. you might find it interesting to know that in the present tense, in russian the verb to be is ellipsed, nearly as in chinese. no need to add a degree but a bit similar. the lamp is blue, becomes lamp blue(lampa sinaya) or I am grace becomes I grace ( ya grace) . my theory is that in most languages the most common words tend to evolve quicker and follow different rules> the verb to be is mosty irregular in many languages
@GraceMandarinChinese 3 жыл бұрын
Cool! Thank you for sharing!
@frechjo 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, high frequency verbs tend to be irregular much more often than low frequency verbs (to be, to go, to do, to have, to think... those are all irregular both in English and Spanish, and likely a lot of other languages). That might be due to them changing faster. It might also happen than less frequent verbs tend to stabilize in regular patterns because, being used less, it's harder to learn all different forms for them. It's probably a combination of both things.

I am a native speaker, but I'm not professional. Maybe I can give you some examples for your reference. 他吃飯吃得好慢 我跑步可以跑得很快 他逛街怎麼逛這麼久 我看書經常看到發呆 他唱歌唱到忘我 Hopefully, these sentences can help you.
