Finally, we tackle one of the top ten requested sentence patterns here on Qing Wen: the 是...的 (shì...de) pattern. No, we weren't afraid... well, maybe a little... but for some reason it took a year to get around to it. Good thing we have a linguist on hand (JP) to help us break this one down. A linguist, a smuggler, and a shopaholic. Are you sure you trust us with this pattern? Listen in and see!
