Have you ever wondered what 才 means, exactly? In daily life, Mandarin speakers say it so often, so mastering this word is one of the keys to sounding more natural when speaking Mandarin.
Today’s video is going to help you understand how 才 can be used in different situations. I categorize the ways of using this word and give you some examples and illustrations to help you fully get it!

I hope you guys like my drawings 😂😂 (I drew all the stuff except for the apple XD) - Things you might get confused: 05:12 漂亮 “piào liang” is the correct Pinyin for this word, but in daily life Taiwanese people usually pronounce it as “piào liàng”. Correction: 05:20 / 05:22 漂亮 “piào liang”

(Took him longer than expected) He just arrived. (Later than expected) She has just been studying Chinese for six months but she can already speak fluently. (Less time than expected) I think she’s just not pretty! I’m prettier. (To disagree with some while emphasizing on your opinion) He had just stepped out when it began to rain. (As soon as)

Guo 老师好 . 您的画画真棒! I'm very impressed by your drawings. I used to draw a lot when I was younger. You did a fantastic job on explaining the usage of 才 . I suggest watching the video a few times to absorb all the material. Recently I have come to realize that Taiwaneses often end their sentences with certain particles like o, la, ma. I think it's a culture thing to make sentences sound relax and casual. I noticed it in this video as well. Perhaps you may want to consider making a video on them. As always thank you so much for your time and energy in making such educational videos. 为了我们您辛苦了!

Hey Grace! Thank you for the super video again❤🙏 Concerning this example: 因为他，我才去的. I wanted to ask if we could say: 因为他，所以我才去的。A chinese friend told me that we can say "我学习因为我有考试". But if we start with 因为 we should add 所以: 因为我有考试，所以我学习。

@GraceMandarinChinese 4 жыл бұрын

Khalid Ousri You can say “因为他，我才去的” or “因为他，所以我才去的”. Both are okay because the first sentence has “才” as a linking word, it is find. But in the sentence you mentioned: “因为我有考试，所以我学习”, in the second clause “我学习” there isn’t any linking word, so usually we would add “所以”. :)

In your previous video titled "Learn How to Use "就 jiù"" you had this structure: Reason (,) (S) + 就 (then) + Next action / The result and in this one you have this one: Reason (,) (S) + 才 (then) + Next action / The result which is the same, but youv'e switched 就 with 才, is there any difference in these two? Can I take 你喜欢就好 and replace 就 with 才？Is is correct when I say 你喜欢才好 ? The latter feels weird to me. Could you eloborate more on this?

Very informative, thanks a lot! I have a question and hope that you can help me. In German there is a word "doch" which expresses that something unexpectet/contrary happens/happened. I can't think of an english translation for it. Let me give you an example: Ich dachte, dass es heute nicht regnet aber es regnet doch. I thought that it wouldn't be raining today but it does. Do I also use 才 here? 我觉得今天不下雨但是现在才下雨。 Is this correct?

@asane510 2 жыл бұрын

You've probably already figured this out by now, but you can use 倒 (dào) followed by a positive comment, or 卻 (què) for a negative one - see Chinese Grammar Wiki for examples. (Not a native speaker)

I've been wondering about this sentence: "白痴才会把这个事当真。" From your explanation, I would understand this as the second usage, so "(是)白痴" is the only reason for "会把这个事当真". So in English, "only an idiot would take this (matter) serious."
