Posted on: What does 厉害 (lìhai) mean, anyway?
February 10, 2008 at 9:17 AMI often hear 厉害 when I over hear a Chinese person talking about me or another group 老外.. I didn't realize it could be used for bad things.. perhaps they were talking about my Chinese being good or the fact that their subtly got caught was very 厉害..不好的意思。。 许尘
Posted on: The Neutral Tone
February 11, 2008 at 3:37 AMI always try to picture my mouth "shaping" the sounds for the tones.. However for the neutral tone I find myself picturing it "falling" out of my mouth with nothing to hang on too.. danmacleod I've check a couple of sources and haven't found any with 欢huan having a tone.. Nor have I even heard it in daily dialogue.
