The Modal Verb 得 The modal verb 得 (děi) means “need to” or “must”. 我现在得去开会，没空儿跟你聊天儿。 Wǒ xiànzài děi qù kāi huì, méi kòngr gēn nǐ liáo tiānr. 我有事儿，得去学校。Wǒ yǒu shìr, děi qù xuéxiào. The negative form of 得 (děi, must) is 不用 (búyòng, need not) or 不必 (búbì, need not), not *不得 (bù děi). Therefore, the correct way to say “You don’t have to go to the library” in Chinese is A, not B: A. 你不用去图书馆。or 你不必去图书馆。 Nǐ búyòng qù túshūguǎn. Nǐ búbì qù túshūguǎn. B. *你不得去图书馆。

Directional Complements_1 来/去 (lái/qù, to come/go) can serve as a directional complement after such verbs as 进 (jìn, to enter) and 回 (huí, to return). 来 (lái, to come) signifies movement toward the speaker, while 去 (qù, to go) signifies movement away from the speaker. [A is at home, speaking on the phone to B, who is away from home.] A: 你什么时候回来？ Nǐ shénme shíhou huí lai? B: 我六点回去。 Wǒ liù diǎn huí qu.

Directional Complements [A is outside, and B is inside. A knocks on the door, and B tells A to come in.] B:进来。 Jìn lai. (Come in.) [Both A and B are outside. A tells B to go inside.] A:进去。 Jìn qu. (Go in.)

A 跟 B + V(O) (A gēn B + V(O)) EXAMPLE:常老师, 李友，说中文 → 常老师跟李友说中文 王朋，李友, 聊天儿 高文中, 白英爱, 跳舞 李友, 白英爱, 说英文 王朋，高文中, 见面吃晚饭

别 (bié, don’t) and 得 (děi, must) Example: X_聊天儿, V 看书 → 你别聊天儿， Nǐ bié liáo tiānr, 你得看书。 nǐ děi kàn shū. 1. X 喝茶, V 睡觉 hē chá shuì jiào 2. X 看电视, V 给老师打电话 kàn diànshì gěi lǎoshī dǎ diànhuà 3. X 睡觉, V 去考试 shuì jiào qù kǎo shì 4. X 打球, V 练习说中文 dǎ qiú liànxí shuō Zhōngwén

中文 /汉语 Both 中文 (Zhōngwén) and 汉语 (Hànyǔ) mean “the Chinese language.” 汉 is the name of the predominant ethnic group in China, and 汉语 literally means “the language of the Han people.” Therefore, Chinese citizens of non-Han ethnic backgrounds will most likely refer to the Chinese language as 汉语 rather than 中文. There is also a difference in nuance between 语 (yǔ, speech) and 文 (wén, writing), but for most purposes 汉语 (Hànyǔ) and 中文 (Zhōngwén) are generally considered synonymous.

What languages do you speak? 1. 法文 Fǎwén pn the French language 2. 日文 Rìwén pn the Japanese language 3. 德文 Déwén pn the German language 4. 韩文 Hánwén pn the Korean language 5. 俄文 Éwén pn the Russian language 6. 西班牙文 Xībānyáwén pn the Spanish language 7. 意大利文 Yìdàlìwén pn the Italian language 8. 葡萄牙文 Pútáoyáwén pn the Portuguese language 9. 希腊文 Xīlàwén pn the Greek language 10. 拉丁文 Lādīngwén pn the Latin language
