Inability with "mei banfa"

Revision as of 07:58, 23 November 2011 by Gregory.mcandrews (talk | contribs)

One easy way to express inability is to use the phrase 没办法 (méi bànfǎ). Literally this translates as "to have no way", and is commonly used in situations where something is not possible. The structure:

Subject + 没办法 + Verb + Object

Some examples:

  • 没 办法 帮 你。
  • 没 办法 去 中国。
  • 我们 没 办法 出去。
