March 26, 2011 at 1:41 PM这个课程酷极了 ! 有一次我的一个中国朋友给我写了一封信。她告诉我她使用 Frenchpod 学法语, 她"常常笑得要死"。当时我看懂了, 可是现在知道了"要死"是什么意思。我高兴死了 !!
可是我却有一个问题: is it possible to use 要死without 得 ?

March 24, 2011 at 8:31 AMHi Bobm112 !
Ah, this is an interesting question and sometimes it's not easy to fix. In general, other languages don't do this way, so foreign people who learn Chinese are often puzzled.
In Chinese, the circumstances of the action (who, when, where, how) take place BEFORE the verb.
Just as in:
你在哪儿工作？
工作 is the verb, of course, and 在哪儿 the place.
If you add a word to say when the action takes place, it will be before, eg.:
我今年在北京大学学习.
厕所在哪儿?
In this question, 在 is the verb. And I agree with Bodawei who says that the toilet is just being.

March 23, 2011 at 10:45 PMWhen I listened to the dialogue, I thought that the girl was a bit forward, as Chrysegle said. And I'm wondering if young girls often adress young men that way. Is she trying to seduce him ? What about if a man calls a woman "美女" ?

March 23, 2011 at 4:55 PMHi Jenny,
I think that if your University organizes exchanges or partnerships with an University in Peking (not especially Beida), you've got to get good scores to be a foreign student. If you pay yourself to go to the University, it must be different.
But I'm not really sure of that. Maybe other poddies know more about it.

March 15, 2011 at 10:11 PMThank you so much, that's very nice ! I will look at that. The summary of the second one seems very interesting. It talks about all the religions you can find in China. Great !

March 15, 2011 at 1:30 PMThanks for your answers, mates ! I'm really interested in this topic.
Tvan, I can't remember when I saw this date of 1982, so maybe I'm wrong.
Bodawei, what do you call "indigenous folk religion" ? I would like to go to one of the sacred mountains. Just for the experience !

March 15, 2011 at 8:17 AMVery interesting lesson (and so many new words to learn, great !). I've got some questions about society. What is the most important "religion" (if we can say that taoïsm and buddhism are religions, I don't know). Do many Chinese people believe in it ? What about christianism ? When did Chinese government allow religions (I think it was in 1982 but I'm not sure) ? People who go to the Sacred Mountains go to prays or to travel and because Sacred Mountains are beautiful and famous ?
