?? - Weather in Chinese
Some of the first things I’ve been learning in Chinese 101 are weather related. For example, we have learned to form statements of the form:
?????????
Yesterday, the weather was fine.
We’ve also been taught to form questions and dialog:
????????
Today it’s very nice?
Words used to say things about weather can also be used in everyday conversation:
?????????
I’m quite cold, are you very cold?
??????
I’m not cold.
Interestingly, and probably sensibly, the spoken vocabulary in Chinese 101 goes much faster than the written vocabulary. We learn about 20 traditional characters a week, but probably twice as many new words. The hardest part, though, is learning some phrase and learning to apply it and its component parts properly in new contexts.
