    • new word
    ne呢reciprocates a question (and you?); applies a question to a new topic (what about...?)














    new word
    hěn很very




    new word
    gāo高tall, 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.
