Quelques notes
Ce samedi, je vous conseille d’aller visionner ces vidéos:

En particulier, j’ai apprécié celles-ci :

Chinese grammar
Une autre trouvaille sur la grammaire chinoise. / Nice video on simple principles of Chinese grammar.
3 Patterns That Unlock 80% of Chinese
Nice summary in VrayCat comments:
The Three Core Patterns:
-
The STPVO Blueprint (1:12 - 4:16): Chinese grammar follows a strict, logical sequence: Subject + Time + Place + Verb + Object. Unlike English, which allows for flexible placement, Chinese requires you to establish the setting (time and place) before the action occurs.
-
The Action Chain (4:39 - 10:00): Rather than using filler words like “to,” “by,” or “with” to connect actions, Chinese simply strings verbs together in the order they occur in real life (e.g., “I went home, slept” instead of “I went home to sleep”). This reflects a literal, chronological narration of events.
-
Time Particles as Filters (14:16 - 20:23): Chinese does not use verb conjugations to indicate tense. Instead, it uses particles—like Instagram filters—to add context to a base sentence: • Progressive/Right Now: Uses particles like gan (Cantonese) or zai (Mandarin) to describe ongoing actions (14:40). • Completed Actions: Uses particles like zo (Cantonese) or le (Mandarin) to signify that an action has been finished (16:32). • Future: Uses the word wui (Cantonese) or hui (Mandarin) to indicate events that will happen (19:18).
Additionally, the video covers logic bridges (10:03 - 13:35), explaining how to use cause-and-effect structures (if/then, because/so) to create more natural, complex sentences.
