Hallo Adam,
Ik download gewoonlijk de belangrijkste dialoog door de twee inheemse sprekers. Dit keer, niettemin, was er geen verbinding. Kon u dit, tevreden bevestigen. (Les 89)

Hello!
Misschien een weinig laat, maar ik heb een vraag betreffende deze zin: Wǒ xiǎng nǐ huì pái hěn cháng shíjiān DE duì.
Het is over“ DE“.
Als de zin was geweest: „ik geloof dat u op een lengtijd“ zult moeten wachten, zou het aan“ Wo xiang de shijian kip chang DE van Nihui deng“ ik gelooft vertaald hebben.
Now, why is there no “de” after the “chang” in the original sentence, and why place a “de” after “shijian” and before the second half of the “paidui”??
Is it the “same” de that has moved? Or is this “de” referring the shijian to the verb dui?
Enlighten me!
Bo

Hi Bo, it’s never too late to ask questions!
Since Chinese likes to be efficient, if there are multiple “de”s required in a sequence the first ones are usually omitted. So in this example, if you only wanted to say “a long time” you could say “hěn cháng de shíjiān” However here we want to say “line up for a long time” The first de connects the “long” to the “time” while the second connects the “long time” to the “lining up.” So rather than saying “pái hěn cháng de shíjiān de duì” the first de is omitted.
A simpler example:
My friend = Wǒde péngyǒu
My friend’s friend = Wǒ péngyǒude péngyǒu (the first de is removed)
Does this help?

In this sentence: Wǒ xiǎng nǐ huì pái hěn cháng shíjiān de duì. I understand that “pái duì” means to stand in line. .. but why are the two characters seperated in this sentence? It causes confusion. . . at least when written in Pinyin because I will think that the “duì” at the end means “correct”.

Hi Daniel,
Good question. In Chinese there are many verb-object forms such as “pái duì”, “chīfàn” etc. The “pái” is the verb (to line up) while the “duì” is the object (group). Similarly, you could say “chī yíge xiǎoshī de fàn” (eat lunch for an hour).
As far as pinyin goes, you are right that it is easy to mix up which is why context is important. Obviously this problem doesn’t occur as often with Chinese characters since there would be separate characters for the different types of “duì.” While pinyin is very useful as a tool to help learn Chinese it won’t replace Chinese characters for this reason. We encourage users to take a look at the Chinese characters and try picking out the more common ones to help learn reading.

Hi Adam,
Could you please tell me what’s the difference between hui and yao when it refers to the future? Sorry if I should have missed a previous explanation.
Thanks, Manuela.

Hi Manuela,
Hui is equivalent to “will” while yao is more like “going to.” So “Wo hui qu” can be translated as “I will go” while “Wo yao qu” can be “I am going.” Hope that helps!

Hi Adam,
Yes, it helps, even as my mothertongue is German (that is Swiss-German) and not English.
Thanks.
Manuela
