Posted on: Animal Proverbs: Become a pig to catch a tiger
January 16, 2020 at 12:24 PMIn my opinion, the hunter tries to 'catch' it and 'eat' it. So 吃 here still means 'to eat'. But, in the context, or story, you might find some hidden meanings. For example, 'to approach' and 'to capture'. Why there're hidden meanings? Because the tiger needs to 'approach' it first to 'capture' it, and afterward 'eat' it. But we can't literally tell a story. It's way too long. That's why we only pick the main phrase to imply what we want to say.

When you know more Chinese sentence, you would find out the main information is always put in the end of a sentence. So, in this case, 'you' is the main information. That's why it's 'again + be + you".

Making so sense is the feature of this series. We try to make newbie learn and remember new vocabulary and sentences through special scenarios. As for the translation, there're English subtitles under Chinese in the video. And if you watch this video through the new website, there's an eye icon for showing English translation.

仲介 is used more often in Taiwan while 中介 is used way more often in China. And I think it's because that Fiona did spend some time in Taiwan, there're some Taiwan's phrases in her lessons.

Only the second one is correct. When the adjective is followed by a noun, in most cases, there's a 的.

January 15, 2020 at 7:37 AMHi, your sentence is nice and correct! 得不得了 is used as "very or so". So you can use it in the past, present, or future tense.
