Posted on: Possible, Possibly, Possibility

I used to make a mistake and use 可以 for 'maybe' when asked a question.  It is only recently that I discovered that 可以 meaning is more like 'yes'.  Got me into a lot of trouble!

Thank you Jenny. It is nice to be welcomed! I hope to find a bit more time to study, and looking forward to listening to your constant high standard of lessons again. :-)

I enjoyed this lesson.  Actually it is some time since I have managed to find the time to work an upper intermediate lesson.

How long do we think this young girl has stayed in each job?  4 or 5 jobs since graduating and still at home ...

Wow, I have to totally disagree! I find the lack of 'h' in ch, sh, zh etc reduces the language to a constant hissing, which I find very unattractive and more difficult to understand. In my experience Guangdong ren also have n/l bu fen... Ni ci guo ma?

Are you going for your own record of replying to yourself?

Can't find where to put suggestions for a Qing Wen topic (Actually these days I can't find anything!).

I imagine it is an Upper Intermediate level question though.

I keep finding new words for 'to establish'. Here are a few:

建立, 成立, 创建, 设立, 建成, 树立, 组建, 创办, 确立, 奠定, 创立, 立下, 创设, 建树

or simply:

建, 设, 立

Guidance please!

Absolutely right about being frightened at being laughed at. This seems to be a preoccupation of some Chinese women (in my small experience!). Is there a culture of laughing at people to put them down?
