Cpoddie Must Have! Small words repost request

That post is still available if you click "view more" at the bottom. I believe they are working on making the posts last for all eternity. :)

I'm so glad to see such interest, I think I should go on with prepositions. But... 你不要对我的学问寄予厚望， 不过我快要乐意地辅导你， 哪怕你到底败兴而归 nǐ bú yào duì wǒ de xuéwèn jìyǔ hòuwàng, búguo wǒ kuàiyào lèyì de fǔdǎo nǐ, nǎpà nǐ dàodǐ bài xìng ér guī However, Wēixiào, I sincerely hope that you still can check the lists, because I've no copy of it (and it was a helluva job, changing fonts all the way...) Next post with some prepositions, 介词 jiècí :)

if the post is still available (I didn´t check it) 1 scroll down to the first point of the List, then press the Print screen Button on your keybord and paste it into (mricrosoft - ) Paint or any Picturediting program, mark everything and copy it as a picture into word/ your writing program and do that again and again ´til the List is complete. Or 2 if that works (but why shouldn´t it) mark the entire list using your mouse then rightklick on your mouse (by using your finger ;-) ) and choose copy, and paste it into your favorite writing program. Then Print it if you want or just save it to your harddrive or where ever you like ;-). PS: I prefer the second way but the first one is also fun ;-)

Here are some common prepositions, again with my bizarre classification (玄妙也有深意) (介词) - 从 ... 到 = "from... to" (从 also 自, 自从 /到 also 至zhì) 向 xiàng: "toward" > 往 wǎng > 朝 cháo 于 yú = 1) 在 : 会议 于 (北京 / 明天) 举行 : "The conference takes place in Beijing / today". 2) 对 : 形势 于 我们 有利 "The situation is favourable to us". ((介词) - 当 dāng ... [(的)时候] : "When..." 除了 ... 以外 : "Except ... / Let alone..." 因为 > 因 > 由 > 由于 = "Because of..." 关于 = 至于 zhìyú : "Concerning..." 替 tì : "for (the sake of), instead of..." = (((介词) - 根据 gēn jù : according to... 随着 suí zhe : along (a process), following... 沿 yán (沿着) : (all) along (a river, etc) 按(照) àn (zhào) / 依(照) yī (zhào) : based on / relying on... 通过 tōngguò : "using... / through (the use of)" 经过 jīngguò : "thanks to... / following..." ((((介词) - 把 bǎ [subject + 把 + object + verb] (书面 = 将) also 用 / 拿 (口) = 以 (书) = "using / with..." 以 ... 为 ... (wéi) = "with (means) as (end)" 以 ... 而 ... [ subject + 以 + cause + 而 + consequence] : "thanks to..." 被 bèi [subject + 被 (+ agent ) + (所 suǒ) + verb] 被 = [口语 : 让 / 叫 / 给 (!)] = [书面 : 为(wéi) / 将] 为 wèi [为(了) ... (而)] = "for, in order to" (goal+而+means) (((((介词) - 他比我高 : He's taller than I ; 他不比我高 : He's not taller than I ; 他没有我高 : He's smaller than I am ; 他跟和我高一样 : He's as tall as I am. 离 lí : [A + 离 + B + distance (time/space)] : "from" (((((介词) - 跟 gēn = 与 yǔ (also = conj.: 和) 连 lián : "including..."

Fourth § - fourth line : 他 跟 / 和 我 高 一样 =)
