Lesson 14
/








new word
nereciprocates a question (and you?); applies a question to a new topic (what about...?)














new word
hěnvery




new word
gāotall, high





note
The word hěn is actually a bit strange and doesn't always mean "very". In simple statements like "I am tall" use of hěn is almost compulsory. Simply saying "wǒ gāo" sounds far too blunt.








note
In negative sentences you don't need to use hěn. You can say "wǒ bù gāo" to mean "I am not tall" without sounding overly blunt.
