Revision as of 01:47, 15 May 2012 by ViktorMugli (talk | contribs)

Structure

Certain verbs in Chinese can be modified with 很 to increase their intensity. This similar to using "really" or "very much" in English. This can only be done with psychological verbs, such as:

  • 喜欢
  • 了解
  • 希望
  • 讨厌


Subject + 很 + Verb + Object

Examples

  • 喜欢 喝 啤酒。
  • 会 说话。
  • 了解 中国。
  • 我 妈妈 希望 我 早 回 家。
