Expressing "one of" with "zhiyi"

Revision as of 06:04, 16 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (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 that 之一 can only follow a noun.

Here are some examples:

  • 她 是 我 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 汽水 之 一
