你好！It's an useful video, thanks! Only one question, I find it a bit difficult to explain the word “长” to my students，since it doesn't have an English equivalent, most of the time I will explain 长 as to grow into, and I will tell my students 长 is the verb you will use when you want to describe someone's appearance, and give them some examples. They understood but I feel there should be some better ways to explain this word. :P
长 is a polyphone and has different meanings. In this video, it has two meanings. 1. 长[zhǎng] - grow: 他长大、长高了。 He's grown up and become tall. - look like: 她长什么样子？ What does she look like. 2. 长[cháng] - long: 她头发很长。She has long hair. (Advanced Chinese) 长 has many other meanings you can learn about: (1) 长(長)[cháng] adj. 1.（两端之间的距离大， 兼指时间和空间） long: In summer the days are long and the nights short. 夏季昼长夜短。 This is a long river. 这条河很长。 2.（引申为永远） forever; lasting: depart from the world forever; pass away 与世长辞 noun 1.（长度） length: The length of the bridge is 200 metres. 那座桥有200米长。 The boat won by three lengths. 这只艇以3艇长之差得胜。 2.（长处） strong point; forte: overcome one's shortcomings by learning from others' strong points 取人之长，补己之短 3.（姓氏） a surname: Chang Wuzi 长武子 verb （对某事做得特别好; 擅长） be good at; be strong in: She is good at painting.; Painting is her forte. 她长于绘画。 adverb （常） often: go about sth. little by little without a letup 细水长流 (1) 长(長)[zhǎng] adj. 1.（年纪较大） older; elder; senior: older than her; 比她年长 My brother is senior to me by two years. 家兄比我年长两岁。 2.（排行最大） eldest; oldest: eldest daughter; 长女 eldest brother 长兄 noun （领导人） chief; head; leader: head of a delegation; 代表团团长 chairman of the board; 董事长 verb 1.（生） come into being; begin to grow; form: get cancer; 长癌 have a boil; 长疮 2.（生长; 成长） grow; develop: Youth is the time of physical growth. 青年时期是长身体的时期。 She has grown so that she is even a little taller than her mother. 她长得比母亲都高一点了。 3.（增进; 增加） acquire; enhance; increase: increase one's knowledge; gain experience; 长见识 Such a tendency is not to be encouraged. 此风不可长。
Perhaps one way to think of 长 [zhǎng] ("grow") is that it describes the visual characteristics a person acquires while "growing". This could be different from a person's current appearance, which is usually described with 看起来. For example: 他长得很强壮但是今天看起来很累 ("He is strong, but today looks tired"). In this sentence, I don't think that 长得 and 看起来 can be interchanged.
Wow.. love this! Jeanette is the best Chinese teacher that I’ve ever seen. Very clear, informative and systematic. And her pronunciation is also very on point and easy to follow. Usually I always sleepy learning chinese but not with this one. Definitely will stay in tune with her excellent teaching. I am a fan of everyday chinese now ❤️👍⭐️
Thank you so much! This is a fine balance between level of difficulty and real language usage! Easy enough but challenging and with fair share of new information.
'liked'. Thank you for the video. It's great to learn so many phrases to describe personalities and physical traits. 7:19 - Ni hen ben le. Could you please explain 'le' in this sentence. Thank you.
@@MrSalo-mein you are right. I inadvertently wrote 'hen" instead of "tai". Does 'le' need to be used with 'hen' as well? I wasn't aware that 'tai' can't be used without 'le'. (Had not come across this in the various uses of 'le'). Thank you
It's the structure 太……了. Here le is used as a modal particle at the end of the sentence. We explained in our video lesson: ruclips.net/video/uXuEIsWd2hc/видео.html
Now I know how to say shy and kind 😊 Yesterday each of us had to describe the appearance of one person in the classroom, but none of us used words like: 漂亮, 老, 胖, 帅. I don't know why since we already learned those words... One example from yesterday's class: 她是女的, 高高的, 瘦瘦的. 她 穿牛仔裤, 粉色T恤. 她不戴眼镜.

In the answer to the first sentence, I'm a little confused: you use 又 in the sense of 'also' to describe the man as young, then 也 to describe him as handsome and tall and slim (thin). What is the difference (if any)? Secondly, is there any preferential order to the adjectives in Mandarin in which to describe somebody or something as there is in English, which would, in this case, normally be 'young, tall and handsome' - in that order?
@@outdoorscholar6016 An interesting idea, thank you, but I'm not sure I see that applying here, do you? 年轻 (young) is a noun (年 year) followed by an adjective (轻 light, i.e. not heavy).
@@Li.Siyuan when you combine 年 and 轻 to get 年轻，it becomes an adjective that means "young" (I'm aware this still doesn't answer the original question though. I too am curious to hear if there's much of a difference)
At 0:41, "他很年轻，也很帅！又高又瘦。" literally means : "He is very young and also very handsome! And he is both tall and thin. " Here 也 means also; As for the structure : 又 + Adj 1 + 又 + Adj 2. It is to use multiple adjectives at a time to describe someone or something, like saying that something is "both… and…" in English. To describe somebody’s appearance, there is no preferential order of adjectives. young, tall and handsome - 年轻，又高又帅。 tall, young and handsome - 很高，又年轻又帅气。 Both are OK.

不客气~ BTW 你能描述一下我们的老师吗？
@@EverydayChinese 是的，我能描述她。
她的皮肤白皙，她非常漂亮，有黑发直，中等长。 她似乎很耐心和开朗。

it’s better and more understandable when you use 中文 instead:D

他 很 帅 有瘦 有 短 头发 , 是一个活泼 人
How can I describe an individual Chinese person better to other Chinese people?
This is how I describe the person in the picture:
他长什么样子? 他很年轻也很帅。 他的眼睛是黑色的。 他的耳朵很大。他是一个什么样的人? 他是一个为想的人。 他有他有聪明又自信。
What do you mean by saying 为想的人?
@@EverydayChinese it was a typo.
我觉得他是一个自信的人。他很年轻，又高又瘦。他的腿很长，头发很短。
他非常高，又佼又瘦。眼睛很小的。口很小的。他很认真，又聪明又自信的。
In the answer to the first sentence, I'm a little confused: you use 又 in the sense of 'also' to describe the man as young, then 也 to describe him as handsome and tall and slim (thin).

Secondly, is there any preferential order to the adjectives in Mandarin in which to describe somebody or something as there is in English, which would, in this case, normally be 'young, tall and handsome' - in that order?
The way I understand 又 is when you have 2 adjectives together. Perhaps the English equivalent would be “both (adj) and (adj)”

As for the structure : 又 + Adj 1 + 又 + Adj 2. It is to use multiple adjectives at a time to describe someone or something, like saying that something is "both… and…" in English.

young, tall and handsome - 年轻，又高又帅。

Both are OK.
