Hey guys, I made a mistake in this video，I explained how to use guò to make past perfect tense in mandarin，it's actually should be present perfect tense. Thank you for someone correcting me. However, in Mandarin, past perfect tense and present perfect tense has no difference. We use guò to express both. Time adverb is the key to make different time tenses in Mandarin actually. I will make a video to introduce some time adverbs for different time tenses in future. Happy learning!❤️
@@arthur2222222 If you claimed Chinese doesn’t have tenses, please explain how you express did something and have done something in Chinese then. Why it’s wrong to explain how to use these particles to express past tenses in Chinese I wonder? I just want to teach how to make tenses expression in Chinese by using all these particles, you argued that Chinese has no tenses. Then tell me you way to learn Chinese tenses then.
I do find these educational videos fascinating . Learning from books and sometimes skipping over the explanations of grammar it is so easy to not get the point of the exercises , but when someone takes the time to explain the difference between two words it gives more of an idea of what is happening . Thank you .
Hi Zoey, good luck with your channel! This was a good lesson! You were on my recommended list. Great lesson, but I think you should perhaps write characters too. This will help you find more followers, as learners only use pinyin early in learning. (p.s. apologises for not writing this in Chinese, I'm being lazy, and this kind of detail is above me! haha)
Hi ZOEY I love your way teaching so much and your English speaking likes American if you not showing Mandarine Language. One more time thank you for you to explain the tense in Chinese. Have a wondeful day sucessful in your way.
吃饭了means I ate meal, I also can say 吃’过’饭, they both means experienced something. But we don’t say 吃饭过, 过 doesn’t follow objects. 去世means pass away, 去世了means someone passed away, 了can terminate an action(unnecessary must to terminate),过usually means experienced something and might experience again, no termination. For example, 死 means die, 死了,means died, game over, BUT, 死过means ever died, but sill alive, this is an exaggeration, to say someone experienced big disaster or severe illness, like already died but eventually survive or come back to life, for instance, 他是死过一次的人, he is the man who died once. According to these examples, you can tell firstly, 过doesn’t follow objects, secondly, pass away is a terminated word, we can‘t say someone experiences ‘pass away’ many times.
It's funny how you gave away within a few words the fact that you never studied any linguistics when you can't tell the difference between a tense and a particle. If you're going to instruct people on a language, at least get your basics right. Chinese doesn't have tenses, we have particles.
Thanks. Add characters in later videos. Cuz wanna help beginners at the beginning, thought characters are too complicated for them. Pinyin will be much easier for them to pick up simple speaking. But anyways, thank you for your advice.
@@Kapiwolf123 she literally shows the tones of each words on the screen and she says what they mean, even if you dont know the tone, she told you what it means. Just find the character in the dictionary with the pinyin that has the meaning you are looking for, its really simple
@@Vulspen I already speak Chinese. Chinese without characters is literally not helpfully in any sense. Stop arguing. There are words with the same tones ANYWAY.
You do not understand English grammatical terms. You are confusing 'past perfect' with 'present perfect' in English. 'Past perfect tense' (also called 'pluperfect tense') in English is exemplied by 'I had gone . . .' In Chinese guo most closely approximates the English 'present perfect tense.' You can verify this with the usual English grammatical authorities.
Yea I should've said how to use guò to make past perfect tense and present perfect tense, because in Mandarin guò can be used for both. "He had been to beijing last year." in mandarin is "tā qù nián( qù nián = last year) qù guò Beijing. " "He has been to Beijing". is “tā qù quò Beijing."So the time adverb is the key to make difference for these two types of tenses. But you are right, in English past perfect tense and present perfect tense are different, but in mandarin they are same. Thank you for pointing that out.
I can give you another example, "yesterday my friend wanted to buy me a donut, but I wasn't hungry, because I had just eaten lunch." here I can say "wǒ chī guò wǔ fàn(wǔ fàn means lunch) le. So now if my friend wanna buy me a donut, I am not hungry because "I have just had lunch", I also can say "wǒ chī guò wǔ fàn le”.

I was going to ask that just now
Thank you so much 😊😊
No your mistake is that this is not a tense, it's an particle...

I'm so thankful to you! I learned much from your video
Thanks Teacher Zoey! I just subscribed to your channel...looking forward to more great educational videos.
This is amazing! Thank you so much! It helped me A LOT ❤
You're truly amazing, don't be afraid to add 1-2 ads to your video.
Also pinyin + simplified characters would be desirable
Thank you for the lesson
Very clear explanation! 谢谢🙏

I'm confused. You mentioned that 过 cannot follow objects, but I've seen examples of 过 following objects, such as “去世过‘。 Can you clarify?
吃饭了means I ate meal, I also can say 吃’过’饭, they both means experienced something. But we don’t say 吃饭过, 过 doesn’t follow objects. 去世means pass away, 去世了means someone passed away, 了can terminate an action(unnecessary must to terminate),过usually means experienced something and might experience again, no termination.

there are no characters but only pinyin. terrible idea

You can easily look them up with a dictionary app, dont be ungrateful, this video is very useful so I appreciate her effort and it helped me
@@Vulspen one pinyin word has 50 characters.
@@Kapiwolf123 she literally shows the tones of each words on the screen and she says what they mean, even if you dont know the tone, she told you what it means. Just find the character in the dictionary with the pinyin that has the meaning you are looking for, its really simple
