November 5, 2013 at 5:15 PMThe above two comments were in reply to different posts; I wrote them on an iPad, and they ended up here. Weird. So, how do I move them to the right post, or just delete them?

October 30, 2013 at 4:58 PMWhat does the repeated 又是 add to this sentence? Does it give the sense that he is always doing these things with his friends? Would it be fine without them, just without this meaning?
昨晚跟朋友一起又是唱歌，又是喝酒，又是玩游戏，真过瘾！
(Yesterday I sang songs, drank and played games with my friends. It was really fun!)

October 30, 2013 at 4:55 PMWhat's the first 了 doing in this sentence? Or, should the English sentences be in the present-continuing form?
这次我们出去玩了十几天，太过瘾了！
(This time we are going on vacation for more than 10 days. It's so great!)

May 27, 2013 at 11:24 AM我的工资都花光了，就等着年终奖呢！ I think John explained that the 呢 had something to do with the way we might say, "and" at the beginning of a sentence. A Chinese friend also told me that the pattern Verb着呢 is also a common pattern for the present continuing form "ing" and that seems to be going on in this sentence, although there are other words in between. Any comments?

November 14, 2013 at 8:47 PMIn the dialogue it says 不发烧 bu4fa1shao1 for "I don't have a fever."
Is it always 不 bu4 or do we use 没有 mei1you3 sometimes?
How about these?
打喷嚏 da3pen1ti4 to sneeze
生病 sheng1bing4 to be/get sick
流鼻涕 liu2bi2ti4 to have a runny nose
咳嗽 ke2sou4 to have a cough
嗓子疼／喉咙通 sang3ziteng2/hou2long2tong4 to have a sore throat
头疼 tou2teng2 to have a headache
