Expressing "one of" with "zhiyi"
Revision as of 05:26, 30 April 2012 by Gregory.mcandrews (talk | contribs)
In order to express "one of the..." in Chinese, "之一" (zhī yī) can be used at the end of the sentence.
Here's the basic structure:
Adjective + Noun + 之一
An important note to keep in mind is that 之一 can only follow a noun.
Here are some examples:
- 她 是 我 的 好 朋友 之 一 。
- 对 我 来 说，纽约 是 世界 上 最 好 的 城市 之 一 。
- 他 觉得 百事可乐 是 最 好 喝 的 汽水 之 一 。
