The "however" adverb "que"

Revision as of 08:25, 30 January 2012 by JiaBeixi (talk | contribs) (→‎Books)

却 (què) is used to indicate something was contrary to expectations, and is used in a similar way to 倒. However, it is generally followed by a negative comment:

A + positive comment, B + 却 + negative comment

For example:

  • 他 用 的 潜水 装备 都 很 专业,但是 他 的 水平 很 低。
  • 虽然 是 自己 种 的 菜,不过 味道 没有 超市 的 好。
  • 他 只有 16 岁,想法 比 20 几 岁 的 人 还 成熟。
