It's interesting that many of these pairs of words can be combined to form new words. Probably the most common one is 多少. There is also 左右 ("approximately"). Another one I like is 上下. I think it is only used in 上下班 ("commute"). Perhaps there can be a sequel video about these kinds of words. The story of 东西 would certainly make an interesting item. :-)
dongxi supposedly has a mythic origin something like they asked the king and he said look west then they asked again he said look east and when they still couldn't find it he was surprised because all the THINGS from west to east were royal property. There's a basket in the myth somewhere. In fact xi 4 west nest are etymologically related in Chinese, and a basket holds things as a nest holds eggs. so i think that may also be the origin? Anyway it's a metaphor for "every THING under the sun from East to West".
It reminds me a lot about my native language, Dutch. We literally just glue words together to make a new one. English does that too, actually. Just not very often.
I love this Promgram , I learned a lot from it. The instructor is the best among all the on line Chinese lesson instructor. Very clear with the pronunciation. I gave you more than 100% thank you!
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION WELL PUT TOGETHER EVERYTHING PERFECT JUST A NATURAL FLOW ,PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING, HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU COMPARED TO OTHER SITES
YOU ARE REALLY GREAT HERE. I AM USING THIS CHANNEL TO LEARN PLUS ANOTHER ONE. YOUR CHANNEL IS SO HELPFUL AND SO WELL ORGENIZED AND DONE. I CAN T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR THIS MATERIAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK. YOU DESERVE MUCH MUCH MORE VIEWERS HERE! I WONDER HOW CAN EVEN JUST ONE PERSON DISLIKE THIS. THIS IS SO ABSURD. I LOVE IT!!!! KEEP ON THE EXCELLENT WORK. YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND THE BEST TEACHERS!!!!
first thank you for your video, I found it very educational. I am a HSK3 Chinese student in the UK. I found it both educational and interesting. I can see that there are many idioms. Excellent video. Great pace. It crosses all levels of HSK learning. It is very easy to listen to and understand. Thank you very much for your video. I look forward to seeing many of your new and insightful videos. Thanks again I will share your videos to as many people in the Wales (UK) as I can. Look forward to your next videos. Thanks again
Thank you so much for such an encouraging comment. It is students like you who get us going. We will continue producing new content in our channel and better our courses. Much appreciated!
This is a very good way to expand vocabulary and also introduce idiomatic expressions. However, I think that for people learning Mandarin it will be more useful to have word-by-word Mandarin-English transliteration, not translation.
Your videos are more interesting and I like the way you teach and pick the topics. I request you to please add-in the videos. Thank you very very much teacher
Brilliant!Too many times we fail to look at obvious possible improvements in the different strategies we have at our dispositions. This is one of them. Two for the price of one.
8 / 12 / 2018 good video , i suggested for others sites to make videos for opposite vocabulary but they did not . i hope you make it so repeat the chinese words twice if would make , so learners could study and if one word will forget the other word will come to memory and i think you know to learn tow words together is better , thanks ...
道 [dào] has many meanings, and here it means ‘the measure word of ( a question)’. 题[tí] means topic or question. 这(this)道题 = this question. Learn more about measure words in our channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCSXriUqkzZmAQklQ0N9XFVwsearch?query=measure+words

More opposites (antonyms). Synonyms (different words which mean the same or very similar things). Anything to do with the legend of madam white snake :D
Even though I ought not to have it all by just learning on the net with a crew of teachers I want to have it as much as I might have. For I'm determined to and it's been sufficing me at the moment.
或者 is normally used in a statement in which options are presented. e.g. 我明天去或者后天去。 还是 is usually used to provide choices or options when asking a question. e.g. 你喜欢喝茶还是咖啡？ But you can also use还是 in a statement in below situations: 1.when you don’t know or aren’t sure about something, you should use 还是. e.g. 我不知道这本书是他的还是我的。 2.when you know something will not be changed no matter what happens. e.g. 无论刮风还是下雨，邮递员都会按时送信。

Does anyone happen to know any dubbed and subtitled game in Chinese for PlayStation 5, for a chance? I've researched over the net for n64 games and it busted. Too bad.
Thanks Laoshi. Your lectures are always clear and short to the point.

Thanks for your great idea. We'll summarize those interesting words in the future.
Maybe you can call your new video "Opposites Attract - Antonyms that pair up to form new words". Have fun !! :-)

老师您好。先 我谢谢你得美丽汉语课。您在帮我说汉语到得强的。以前，我的汉语的更弱。
我特别喜欢了比较句俗语或者 我喜欢有些句俗语。比如，元亲不如近邻。您的对话 不无聊，但很有趣的。所以我谢谢您再一次。我们下次再见。
Thank you sister meking this video I showed many videos but this video is very useful
Masterpiece of video. 我有疑问，差不是好的反义词吗多谢你
你说的对，“差”也是“好”的一个反义词。
“坏”和“差”都表示不好的意思。
“坏”主要指人的不好(比如缺点多、品质恶劣)，或者指具体的事物不好。比如：坏人，坏事，坏消息，坏天气；
“差”主要指没有达到一定的标准。比如卫生条件差，坏境差，学习成绩差，衣服质量差。
谢谢老师，您的课很有意思。
in minuteb10:29 whats the meaning of Dao Ti...thanks
道 [dào] has many meanings, and here it means ‘the measure word of ( a question)’. 题[tí] means topic or question.
这(this)道题 = this question.

你好
请问,我有一个问题。您常常用 '还是'. 但句子些不是疑问句的。为什么您不用'或者'? 谢谢您再一次。
或者 is normally used in a statement in which options are presented.
e.g. 我明天去或者后天去。
还是 is usually used to provide choices or options when asking a question.
e.g. 你喜欢喝茶还是咖啡？
But you can also use还是 in a statement in below situations:
1.when you don’t know or aren’t sure about something, you should use 还是.
e.g. 我不知道这本书是他的还是我的。
2.when you know something will not be changed no matter what happens.
e.g. 无论刮风还是下雨，邮递员都会按时送信。

Hey,I,m Naim Rahman form Bangladesh 🇧🇩..I am tring to learn Chinese...Chinese is almost impossible oh...I,m mentally so tired
Shouldn't have background music
Wo xi huan
This may be stupid but I'm confused why she says di yi cu, di er cu, di san cu etc... instead of di yi ci, di er ci, di san ci?
"组(zǔ)" means "group"，so "第一组(dì yī zǔ)" means "group 1". We don't say “dì yī cì” in this situation.
Thanks, Crystal
@@EverydayChinese Oh hey thanks alot!
