Anyone can learn Chinese grammar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the a good dose of motivation, a steady and effective study routine, you should find yourself progressing and knowing Chinese faster than you could ever have imagined. Steve Kaufmann, who was able translate newspaper editorials from English to Chinese and from Chinese to English, read novels and interpret for people, learned Chinese in 9 months<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Now, everyone learns differently and at a different pace but nonetheless, you can become fluent. In today’s post, I want to quickly go over a few Chinese grammar points that will prime you for your language journey and hopefully, make you feel less intimidated.<\/p>\n

Verbs<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Chinese language is very merciful when it comes to verb conjugations. You’ll be happy to know that you don’t have to go through 20 different conjugations to change the effects of a verb. Verbs stay in their original form. In this aspect of Chinese grammar, the effect of the verb depends on the time phrases used in the sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u6211\u559c\u6b22\u5531\u6b4c<\/span>
\nW\u01d2 x\u01d0hu\u0101n ch\u00e0ngg\u0113<\/span>
\nI like to sing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u6211\u661f\u671f\u4e00\u5531\u6b4c<\/span>
\nW\u01d2 x\u012bngq\u00ed y\u012b ch\u00e0ngg\u0113<\/span>
\nI will sing on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u4ed6\u4eec\u4eca\u5929\u5531\u6b4c<\/span>
\nT\u0101men j\u012bnti\u0101n ch\u00e0ngg\u0113<\/span>
\nThey will sing today. <\/span><\/p>\n

See how \u5531\u6b4c (<\/span>ch\u00e0ngg\u0113<\/span>) stays the same in all the sentences? But, in examples two and three \u201cMonday\u201d and \u201ctoday\u201d are used as the time modifiers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nouns<\/span><\/h2>\n

Adjectives in the Chinese language always come before the noun. This rule has always been in place, even before the decision was made to replace traditional Chinese as the standard with the now modern vernacular simplified form.<\/span>
\n\u6211\u559c\u6b22\u8d35\u7684\u88e4\u5b50<\/span>
\nW\u01d2 x\u01d0hu\u0101n gu\u00ec de k\u00f9zi<\/span>
\nI like expensive pants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u4ed6\u4e0d\u559c\u6b22\u5c0f\u72d7<\/span>
\nT\u0101 b\u00f9 x\u01d0hu\u0101n xi\u01ceo g\u01d2u<\/span>
\nHe doesn\u2019t like small dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u5979\u80fd\u5531\u6b4c\u9ad8\u97f3<\/span>
\nT\u0101 n\u00e9ng ch\u00e0ngg\u0113 g\u0101oy\u012bn<\/span>
\nShe can sing high notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notice how all the adjectives are before the nouns. You\u2019ll have an easy time modifying your nouns by remembering this rule. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Subject Order<\/span><\/h2>\n

This Chinese grammar rule is a bit tricky, but it’s still relatively simple once you get the hang of things. Chinese is focused on the topic of the sentence. In English, the sentences are subject oriented. However, despite these rules Chinese allows for both subject and topic orientation of the sentences. <\/span>
\nAs you\u2019ve seen in the examples above the subject is first in the sentence. But let\u2019s try looking at what would happen if we followed the grammar rule of “topic first.” <\/span><\/p>\n

\u5927\u888b\u6211\u6709\u3002<\/span>
\nD\u00e0d\u00e0i w\u01d2 y\u01d2u<\/span>
\nBig bag, I have.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u8bed\u8a00\u6211\u559c\u6b22\u5b66\u4e60\u3002<\/span>
\nY\u01d4y\u00e1n w\u01d2 x\u01d0hu\u0101n xu\u00e9x\u00ed.<\/span>
\nLanguages, I like to learn. <\/span><\/p>\n

While this grammar pattern is entirely correct in Chinese, it sounds a little unnatural when translated into English. However, if heard in spoken the Chinese language, it makes perfect sense. In these two examples, the ‘bag’ and ‘languages’ are the topic. If these sentences were made with the subject first they would be just as recognizable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tenses<\/span><\/h2>\n

As you may have noticed in previous examples, tenses remain the same<\/strong>. More specifically there is no distinction between future and present tense. Chinese grammar assumes that the content of the sentence is dependent on the situation at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u6211\u53bb\u56fe\u4e66\u9986\u5b66\u4e60\u4e2d\u6587\u3002<\/span>
\nW\u01d2 q\u00f9 t\u00fash\u016b gu\u01cen xu\u00e9x\u00ed zh\u014dngw\u00e9n<\/span>
\nI go to the library to study Chinese<\/span>
\nI am going to the library to study Chinese.<\/span><\/p>\n

This sentence can have two definitions depending on the situation. In the first sentence, the speaker is describing where they go to study Chinese should the need arise. As compared to the second sentence, the speaker is CURRENTLY telling someone where they are going to study.<\/span><\/p>\n
