October 20, 2011 at 8:31 PMThanks for adding new vocab to the proto-lesson. I'll have to go back and do more newbies as getting another 100% on the exercises was like(pardon that awful word) the 'Hao jiu bu jian' lesson! Btw, laurent, when football began in America I understand it was actually rugby and gradually evolved into the game it is today, but I didn't know ballet actually grew out of marching drills. Thanks for the info.

October 20, 2011 at 2:05 PMBut, if you say "Did you pick up your clothes yet?", there's no indication the person picking up the clothes may have come back. For all that's being stated, he or she may still be somewhere else and not even on the way back yet. I mean, isn't that the reason the 'huílai' is in the expression? In other words, to pin down the question of whether someone has returned. Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of 'qǔhuílai'? Please let me know if you will as I don't want to get the meaning of this idiom wrong. Xièxie.

October 16, 2011 at 3:37 PMWhy isn't the last expansion translated "Did you pick up your clothes and come back?"

October 8, 2011 at 5:24 PMThis may seem irrelevant but can one say 'zūfèi' when referring to the cost of renting a place, such as a house or an apartment or even a room? I ask this because I once knew people who broke up over unresolvable differences about the price of renting a flat. Xièxie.

October 22, 2011 at 3:08 PMSo it also means "Did you get your clothes?" or "Did you get your clothes back?", meaning the clothes have come back to the person to whom they belong and where he or she may be is irrelevant. I see I must have transcribed something incorrectly in my notes. Thanks for clearing this up.
