What is cast pearls before swine in Chinese? | Chinese idiom | 对牛弹琴 | Chinese | play music to a cow
#youtubefeed #mandarinchineselanguage #chinesewords #learnmandarinin5minutes #chineseidioms
In today’s video, we are learning the Chinese idiom called 对牛弹琴
The first word 对 has a lot of other meanings, but here it is a preposition, meaning ‘to ’ or ‘at’ in English
For example,
她在对你笑 tā zài duì nǐ xiào she is smiling at you
牛 is cow in English
弹 is to play a musical instrument
For example,
弹钢琴 tán gāng qín
弹吉他 tán jí tā
琴 is a musical instrument
The literal meaning of 对牛弹琴 is "to cow play instrument".

    For 鸡同鸭讲 we could say "not on the same wavelength". This means that the radio receiver is not tuned to the same frequency as the emitter, so the signal is not getting through. … For 白费口舌 we could say "waste your breath" (where "breath" means "words"). Also, I think this better suits "talking to a wall" than 对牛弹琴. … For 对症下药 we could say "hit the nail on the head". This means : to take accurate action.

    老板都不敢说我 We are taught that 说 cannot be followed by a person, only by something that is said, such as 说几句话. But it turns out that 说+person means to say something bad about that person, or to criticize that person.

    要等到何年何月? I love this expression. It's new to me. Maybe we could answer with this one, that I've heard before : 等到海枯石烂。 In English we say "wait until the cows come home". I suppose that if you let the cows out to roam freely, they will never come home, so you'll be waiting a long long time.

    他们分手了 (not 分了手) Although 分手 is a verb-object pair, I think it cannot be separated. "They broke up three times" should be 他们分手了三次。 To say 他们分了三次手 would seem very unusual to me.

    A:你有看到小明吗? B:有。 I like 有看 because it exactly parallels the English "have seen". But it's rare. Usually 了 or 过 is used to mark the past tense. I have only seen 有 used with 看, but I guess it could be used with other verbs. To answer "yes" I think we could say 有. (Same as "I have" in English.)

    Do you know how to differentiate between the Chinese particles 吗 (ma) and 呢 (ne). Chinese learners, especially beginners, often get confused between these two particles because both are used to form questions. In this video, we will learn just that. We hope you can better understand the usage after this video. Feel free to leave any comments and we will get back to you asap. 🥰

    I wonder if there is a story about the origin of the character 零 (zero). It is very different from the other numerals 一二三四五六七九十. In Western culture, the concept of zero came much later than other numerals. ( The Romans did not have it. ) Probably similar evolution in China.

    一只小鸟在天上飞 = "A little bird is flying in the sky" The interesting thing about this 在 is that it means "in" for "the sky". And it also means "-ing" for "flying". It serves both purposes. I think it would be incorrect to repeat 在. xxx 一只小鸟在天上在飞 xxx (wrong sentence)

    In English “On your horse!” means hurry up and get ready to leave. Many cultures will have similar expressions.

    • @mountaintag
      @mountaintag 2 месяца назад

      Where I live, "on your horse" is rarely used. Because it could be confused with a more common similar expression which has a very different meaning. "On your high horse" means to be arrogant and talk down to others. For example : "Don't get on your high horse and tell me my work is worthless!" … My computer translates "get on one's high horse" as 居高临下.

This Chinese word can be applied from the moment you get out of bed 起床, or when you stand up after sitting down 起身. It is also used to signal the start of a journey or an origin 起程.

    把 The Chinese word 把 is a HSK Level 3 word. It has the meaning of to take hold of; a handle; particle marking the following noun as a direct object; classifier for objects with handle. In a 把 sentence, the verb predicate is modified by the preposition 把. 拿 Just like 把, 拿 is also a HSK Level 3 word. It is equivalent to hold; to seize; to catch; to take; (used in the same way as 把 : to mark the following noun as a direct object). 被 Another HSK level 3 Chinese word. 被 is a passive sentence to introduce the doer of the action. The subject before the verb is the receiver of the action, and the verb is often followed by words indicating a completion or result. This sounds similar to a 把 sentence. However, 把 sentence is more frequently use than a 被sentence. Let us compare the two sentence structures.
