^ ty, also what is 更何況????

[pepprmint]

>.>
<.<
am i the only one here?! x]

^ ty, also what is 更何況????

^ it means "even more so", as in: "i like to paint, *** he being an artist would like it even more so", "im tired, *** he not having slept for two days would be even more so"
(the *** is where 更何況 would be placed in a typical chinese sentence structure)

ok, this one was a bit tough, im not 200% sure if im explaining correctly, so if anyone can s'plain better...

Ok I have a question...
When speaking Chinese, could I omit the subject like in some languages?
um... like the phrase '很可爱', cause here if I say that, it's still understood that I'm
saying that the photo for example is cute.

so if I were to say, '是中国人', do I have to say �我�,
even though in the conversation it's already been established that it's me that
the listener and I are talking about? or could I just say the noun �中国人�?

eum.. ><;; I hope I wasn't too confusing with the question...

[Mardi09]

ah...thanks a bunch! so quick!! thank you!!
but then...can you tell me how to pronounce it too? like
if red is hong2se4 then how are you supposed to say it..like how it's written?
i know the numbers stand for the tone...so yeah..

yup. omitting the subject, sometimes even the noun, still works in a conversation.. an informal conversation, of course. if someone were to ask you what ethnicity you were, saying "中国人" would work, though it's still better to answer a little more completely. and maybe it's just me, but I think "是中国人" sounds awkward. I think I would either say "我是中国人" or simply "中国人"

天空是蓝色（的）。 The sky is blue colour.

那位先生拿着一把红雨伞。 That guy holds a red umbrella.

那辆车的颜色是白色。 That car's colour is white.

^ ty, also what is 更何況????

更何況 is hard to translate, I suppose it can be translated as "even more so", but usage wise, I believe it can be used in place of "not mentioning that...", "especially since..." or "especially under the condition that..."

For example:
She's really good at Chinese, not mentioning that/especially since that she only started learning it in high school.
她中文很好，更何况她是从高中时开始学的。
