I love your channel, your linguistic and analytic approach is just what I need for understanding the language better! I think you deserve so many more viewers, I'm gonna recommend you to all my Chinese-learning friends!! :))
Thank you so much for this video! In Portuguese, we also omit a lot of stuff but then we understand it because of the context so it is nice to see similarities!
Cant wait for a video on the verb + complement topic!! You explain so well and the illustrations are amazing. Its truly a blessing to have found your channel
I appreciate the time and effort in explaining proper grammar. I've seen some other videos and they confuse me when they break down sentence structure. THANK YOU!
Hey, Grace, I was watching your class and then I started to wonder how good it would be if you made a video about writing Chinese characters, but in the cursive way, like the fonts you are using to write the example. They are so beautiful. I really think it would be a great topic!
Thank you, that was very helpful. The sentence structure gives me difficulties in longer sentences. I've only been learning Chinese for four weeks, so I'm hoping I can get the problem under control.
Thanks! This Explanation helps me a lot. 💕 the font is a bit fancy which is good but maybe I just prefer a standard one cause its much clearer. looking forward for more videos in this channel. 🙂💕
I'm from the UK, and have started to learn Mandarin ! Complex language ! And I'm not good at learning languages but would like to live in China one day

Watched !. I am watching video by video I have already watched other but I decided to start over the first one. Leaving a comment for each video I watch
The third concept you talked about is one great difference from Western cultures (generally speaking), the focus on the element/subject (Western) and the holistic focus (Eastern). Great Grace!
By studying Chinese I learn new ways to explain English. How do I explain the sentence "He wiped the table clean"? I say "Clean is a resultative compliment of the verb wipe." How do I explain "A bought a bunch of grapes"? I say "bunch of" is a measure word for grapes. Easy peasy.
I've always enjoyed your attractive videos which I'm so thankful for. Hope more and more people follow your channel. By the way, could you make a video to show us how the way native speakers write words in daily?
Thanks for the video. I'm learning Chinese and subscribed to your channel in hopes it will help me. Your English is very good how long did it take for you to learn it?
Thank you laoshi ♥️ I have a question. For 0 level beginners like me, what is the likable method to start with? I'm sorry, I'm very confused. 😅 Thank you for your response. 💙
Laoshi grace,my other laoshis say that if I delete the svo order is not appropriate,so I'm guessing that it's probly a higher step to proper chinese such as english because some laoshis explain like u?can u clarify that for me.xiexe lashi grace...🙏👍😇
Hello this is Tad from Japan. I noticed that the position of 了 was different depending on the sentences. 我吃晚餐了 and 他吃了苹果. Is it possible to say 我吃了晚餐 and 他吃苹果了??
My Chinese teacher has since explained to me that although " "S + 被 + O + V“ is correct from a Western Grammar viewpoint the Subject is seen differently from a Chinese viewpoint so "O + 被 + S + V“ is correct from that viewpoint. Thanks again for the video the structures shown are very useful.
Stuart Reed Thank you! I didn’t know from Western grammar point of view “S+被+O+V” is correct. Because the way we explain Subjects is considering them as the action doers. Thanks for letting me know :D
hey, it is not beginners, I am beginner, but I do not understand it, it is difficul structure. There are full of examples for explain! I love you, so it is friendly criticism...
Had ppl learn the sentence structures u explained, wont they be thinking english while using chinese? I mean most native ppl dont learn chinese this way (inc native chinese teacher). Can ppl really reach advanced fluence with these seemly easy-to-understand gramma oriented approach?
understood almost nothing and that perfectly！the order is to important。meaning is easy to transfer？！but nobody understands it。😭😭😭 svo is to easy，not to practical and not often used in daily conversations！in general to fast！have to watch this at minimum 10 times i believe！just honest opinions。meaning of what？the writing is in my way（subtitles）。bu zén but rén？even if i almost can read the sentence，but i almost always understands it wrong and dont get the meaning after multiple trys！
here is what i can't understand: the original chinese was not like that, right? do chinese use words like "wo'men" because that was the original "we", or the current "we" was simply derived and constructed from respective kanjis?
Hope you enjoy today’s video!
If you have any suggestion or any idea that you want me to talk about, please leave a comment below :)
I would love to learn about measure words of mandarin

"Chinese sentences have SVO order except when they don't."
Kind of like English with our VSO questions
yeah, ignore SVO
Like Grace says Chinese is a topic prominent i.e. topic comment aka left branching language.
A sentence Chinese has got
S+time/place/manner +V+O words order.
因为这个（或者说这些）只不过是派生的而已，不是什么先天的铁律，它也不配，也根本没有这回事。这种所谓的语法根本没有必然性，所谓sov这一形式“背后”的那些涌动的 东西 根本不受它约束的，我们只是 回过头地 说“汉语有这样的语法（但总有例外）罢了”，暂时设个框架好办事而已，可以随时“反悔”。背后的那套哲学（或者说形而上学）跟西方挺不一样的，我们也不会设想有一个敲代码的超级程序员。
not like that
I love your channel, your linguistic and analytic approach is just what I need for understanding the language better! I think you deserve so many more viewers, I'm gonna recommend you to all my Chinese-learning friends!! :))

Thank you so much for this video! In Portuguese, we also omit a lot of stuff but then we understand it because of the context so it is nice to see similarities!

I am soooo gonna write these sentences down, with the English words.
By studying Chinese I learn new ways to explain English. How do I explain the sentence "He wiped the table clean"? I say "Clean is a resultative compliment of the verb wipe." How do I explain "A bought a bunch of grapes"? I say "bunch of" is a measure word for grapes. Easy peasy.
Lojban set a lot of these up nicely for me.
I've always enjoyed your attractive videos which I'm so thankful for. Hope more and more people follow your channel.

Thank you laoshi ♥️
I have a question. For 0 level beginners like me, what is the likable method to start with? I'm sorry, I'm very confused. 😅
Thank you for your response. 💙
please make a video of how to read chinese fast and style of reading chinese.
Nija Tolange Thank you for the suggestion!
Watched !
Is there any difference in structure when using 就 and using 然後 ？
出片速度也太快
期待下一部
下一部再等幾天！
Is it possible to get a copy of the handout for this lesson?
MVP video
Is so funny. So cute XD. 4:50 Thanks for the hack.
5:10 用agent, theme來解釋會比較好，因為畢竟主詞還是蘋果(個人淺見
Mandarin appears to be such an efficient language.
姐姐加油喔！♥😊
賴婕語 好💛
As a Cantonese speaker, I have very Cantonese-influenced Mandarin grammar.
It’s pretty funny honestly when I say 打电话给你 instead of 给你打电话.
why do you say che zi and not just che? 6:22
Yes, but Chinese people like to put zi after nouns!for example juejuezi
@@知-k3qexcept for when they randomly decide not to put it there
Hello xiaojie xiexie ni. I like you very much. I always watch you video and listen you Chinese. I really love you thank you my love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Laoshi grace,my other laoshis say that if I delete the svo order is not appropriate,so I'm guessing that it's probly a higher step to proper chinese such as english because some laoshis explain like u?can u clarify that for me.xiexe lashi grace...🙏👍😇
Wow ai ni 🇵🇭
Hello this is Tad from Japan. I noticed that the position of 了 was different depending on the sentences. 我吃晚餐了 and 他吃了苹果. Is it possible to say 我吃了晚餐 and 他吃苹果了??
我吃过晚餐了
我吃了晚餐
过 make eat this action as a main thing what I want to say.
Now i understand why some new chinese people in the Philippines speak our language in a certain way.. like broken grammar, mostly no helping verbs
4:50 lovely .. like a rabbit~
Hi, Thanks I enjoyed your video. I don't think the "O + 被 + S + V“ is right as this is a passive sentence so the Apple is the subject.
My Chinese teacher has since explained to me that although " "S + 被 + O + V“ is correct from a Western Grammar viewpoint the Subject is seen differently from a Chinese viewpoint so "O + 被 + S + V“ is correct from that viewpoint.
Thanks again for the video the structures shown are very useful.
Stuart Reed Thank you! I didn’t know from Western grammar point of view “S+被+O+V” is correct. Because the way we explain Subjects is considering them as the action doers. Thanks for letting me know :D
建議可以上個中文字幕會比較好
漢 因為主要是給外國人學中文的 所以才沒上中文字幕😂
Thank You. Спасибо。(ツ)
If only the word order was the same as English I would get this in a day but this is so difficult to understand
❤️❤️❤️
hey, it is not beginners, I am beginner, but I do not understand it, it is difficul structure. There are full of examples for explain! I love you, so it is friendly criticism...
Pls use better text format and size, colors , bcz they are the primary content.. Thanks.. Hope u agree and do needful
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Had ppl learn the sentence structures u explained, wont they be thinking english while using chinese? I mean most native ppl dont learn chinese this way (inc native chinese teacher). Can ppl really reach advanced fluence with these seemly easy-to-understand gramma oriented approach?
In First sentence is a mistake!
"nà ge zen" is in Pinyin written, but it should be "nà ge rén" 那个人
Na guo ning haha😆
鱼吃了吗？Have you eaten the fish? or Have you fed the fish in the aquarium?
understood almost nothing and that perfectly！the order is to important。meaning is easy to transfer？！but nobody understands it。😭😭😭 svo is to easy，not to practical and not often used in daily conversations！in general to fast！have to watch this at minimum 10 times i believe！just honest opinions。meaning of what？the writing is in my way（subtitles）。bu zén but rén？even if i almost can read the sentence，but i almost always understands it wrong and dont get the meaning after multiple trys！
Chinese grammar is somewhat similar to Indonesian and Malaysian
中文語法有點像「印尼文」和「馬來文」一樣。
为什么你真的可爱
Is my sentence right? 😀
You can say "为什么你那么可爱“ or "你真的很可爱“ :)
真的 always follow the first word which as noun.
Some of your characters you used are traditional characters? Why didn't you use simplified characters?
Because in Taiwan they use traditional characters.
here is what i can't understand: the original chinese was not like that, right? do chinese use words like "wo'men" because that was the original "we", or the current "we" was simply derived and constructed from respective kanjis?
I was confused, now I’m extremely confused after watching this
Hi grace what's up?
Grace is cute all the time.
Thank you :)
grace guo mandarin wo hen xihuan
grace guo hen hao de laoshi
that apple has not been eaten. ta zai ba pingguo dao ziji de kou chi, hai meiyou chi wan.
You are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Grace, if you freeze the vid at 1:25 mins am I correct in saying that the 'zén' should be 'rén'?
Wow! You really have beautiful complexion. I fall in love with your eyes and the way your lips move.
Thanks for the video, Teacher.
一定会来中国寻找像你这样的合作伙伴。
Without a strong working knowledge of vocabulary since so many characters get strung together, how can any structure possibly be understandable?
