September 5, 2012 at 4:34 AMAlso my Chinese colleagues inform me that the "shua" you used in "关公面前刷大刀 guān gōng miàn qián shuǎ dà dāo" is incorrect, that it should be the 耍 shua3 shown there. Is that so? Thanks!

September 5, 2012 at 1:40 AMCan BST have a handout of vocab for us to study? That would be really nice. I thought, also, that Oracle bones could be dated up to 9/10 thousand years back? Is that not so?
Posted on: A Stroll through the Hutongs
February 22, 2012 at 4:30 AMIt always seems like "bu/不" is for not, as in something is not this, kind of going along the lines of "not to be." Whereas "mei/没" is the way we use "have" either in the past, or the present; as in it is without these qualities, it's lacking this. Does that help?
I'm not an expert, but more often than not I'm corrected on the use of these words and these seem to be the reasons why. Thank you John and Jenny for more clarification!
