Using 除了 (chúle)⋯⋯ 以外 (yǐwài) will help you spruce up your sentences when you want to express "except," "besides," and "in addition." You may feel that "except" has a pretty different meaning form the other two. Well, read on!

Used as "Except"

Structure

"除了⋯⋯ (以外), 都⋯⋯ " (chúle... (yǐwài), dōu...) is a pattern used to express "except." Make a special note of the 都!

除了 + ⋯⋯ (+ 以外) ，Subj. + 都 + Predicate

Examples

  • 除了 他 ，我们 都 去 过 。 Chúle tā , wǒmen dōu qù guo.Except for him, we've all been there.
  • 除了 周末 ，老板 每天 都 加班 。Chúle zhōumò, lǎobǎn měi tiān dōu jiābān.Except for weekends, the boss works overtime everyday.
  • 除了 价格 以外 ，别的 方面 我们 都 很 满意 。 Chúle jiàgé yǐwài, biéde fāngmiàn wǒmen dōu hěn mǎnyì.Except for the price, we're satisfied with everything.
  • 除了 白酒 ，其他 酒 他 都 喝 。 Chúle báijiǔ, qítā jiǔ tā dōu hē.He can drink anything except white wine.
  • 除了 政治 新闻 以外 ，其他 新闻 我 都 看 。 Chúle zhèngzhì xīnwén yǐwài, qítā xīnwén wǒ dōu kàn.Except for political news, I read all the types of news.

An important note is that either 除了 or 以外 (usually it's 以外) can be omitted from the sentence without losing its meaning.

Expressing "in Addition"

Structure

"除了⋯⋯ (以外), 也/还⋯⋯ " (chúle... (yǐwài), yě/hái... ) is a pattern used to express "in addition." Make a special note of the 也 or 还!

除了 + ⋯⋯ (+ 以外) ， Subj. + 也 / 还 + Predicate

  • 中国 的 功夫 明星 除了 成龙 ， 李连杰 也 很 有名 。 Zhōngguó de gōngfu míngxīng chúle Chéng Lóng, Lǐ Liánjié yě hěn yǒumíng.In addition to Jackie Chen, Jet Li is also very famous as a Chinese kung fu star.
