D-13 eLanguage Notes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYPJov6WQxo
1. In Beijing, 这么 (zhème) is commonly pronounced as zème.
2. In a restaurant, one may address a staff member, either male or female, as 服务员(fúwùyuán, waiter). In Beijing, however, some customers would address a young waiter as 小伙子 (xiǎohuǒzi, young man) and a young waitress as 小妹 ( lit., little sister), while some older or middle-aged people would call a young waitress 姑娘 (gūniang, girl; miss). In Taiwan, it is proper to address a waiter as 先生 (xiānsheng) and a waitress as 小姐(xiǎojiě).
3. Nouns for containers or vessels such as the following, can serve as measure words:
碗 : (wǎn, bowl) as MW : 一碗饭 (abowl of rice)
杯 : (bēi, cup/glass) as MW: 一杯水 (a glass of water)
盘: (pán, plate/dish) as MW: 一盘饺子 (a plate of dumplings)
4 点儿 (diǎnr) here is the abbreviated form of 一点儿 (yìdiǎnr). When used to modify nouns, (一) 点儿 can soften the tone and therefore make the sentence more polite.
5. As an adjective, 够 (gòu) functions only as a predicate, and never as an attributive before nouns. Thus one says 我的钱不够 (my money is not enough), but never *我没有够钱 .
Grammar 1. 一…也/都 不/没…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5uXTYm-m08
These structures are used to form an emphatic negation meaning “not at all” or“not even one.”
A. Subject + 一 + Measure Word + Object + 也/都) + 不/没+ Verb
1. 小李一个朋友也没有。 (Little Li does not have a single friend.)
2.爸爸今天一杯茶都没喝。 (My father didn’t have a single cup of tea today.)
B. Topic (+ Subject) + 一+ Measure Word + 也/都 + 不/没 (bù/méi) + Verb
3. 这些衬衫我一件也不喜欢。 (I don’t like any of these shirts.)
4. 哥哥的鞋，弟弟一双都不能穿。 (The younger brother cannot wear any of his older brother’s shoes.)
C. Subject + 一点儿+ Object + 也/都+ 不/没+ Verb
5.他去了商店，可是一点儿东西也没买 (He went to the store, but he didn’t buy anything at all.)
6. 妈妈做菜一点儿味精都不放。(Mom does not put any MSG in cooking.)
If the noun after 一 is countable, a proper measure word should be used between 一and the noun, as in (1), (2), (3), and (4). If the noun is uncountable, the phrase 一点儿is usually used instead, as in (5) and (6).
The following sentences are incorrect:
(1a) *小李没有一个朋友。It should be: 小李一个朋友也没有。(Little Li does not have a single friend.)
(3a) *这些衬衫我不喜欢一件。It should be:这些衬衫我一件也不喜欢。 (I don’t like any of these shirts.)
(5a) *他东西没买一点儿。It should be: 他一点儿东西都没买。(He did not buy anything)
The construction 一点儿+ 也/都+ 不 can also be used before an adjective to express emphatic negation.
7. 这儿的冬天一点儿也不冷。 (Winter here is not cold at all.)
8. 那个学校一点儿也不漂亮。 (That school is not pretty at all.)
9. 这杯冰茶一点儿都不好喝。 (This glass of iced tea doesn't taste good at all.)
5. D-14. Picky Shopper
Your boyfriend/girlfriend is hard to please. You take him/her shopping. As it turns out, he/she doesn't like any of the items in the shopping center. Tell your friends what happened.
Example:
因为衬衫的样子他/她一件都不喜欢，所以一件都没买。
1. color of skirts
2. size of the shoes
3. style of dresses
4. length of pants
5. tightness of jeans
Grammar 2. Adverb 多/少 (duō/shǎo) + V
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rxNFKhn2rM
多 are two adjectives whose usage is rather unusual. To express the idea of doing something “more” or “less,” one places 多少before the verb.
1.爸爸告诉妈妈做菜的时候少放盐，多放点儿糖。 (Dad asked Mom to add less salt and more sugar when she cooks.)
2. 上中文课得多说中文，少说英文。(In Chinese class, one should speak more Chinese and less English.)
This “多/少+ verb” construction can sometimes denote a deviation from the correct amount or number.
4. 你多找了我一块钱。 (You gave me one dollar too many.)
5. 老师说要写五十个字，我写了四十五个，少写了五个。 (The teacher told us to write fifty characters. I wrote forty-five. I was five short.)
6. D-15 Course Evaluation
The following is a wish list of a Chinese language teacher who hopes his students can change some of their habits. As a Chinese language student, powwow with your partner and come up with your own list of what you would like your teacher to do differently.
老师希望学生：
speak more Chinese
preview the textbook more
listen to the recording more
review more of the new vocabulary and grammar
practice more of writing characters
speak less of English
chat less during class
get online shopping less
do less of texting to friends
asking more questions
学生希望老师：
give less homework
give less quiz
show more movies
listen to Chinese music more often

Grammar 3. 刚 (gāng) vs. 刚才 (gāngcái)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIqfvhtHr0k
As an adverb, 刚 denotes that the action or change in situation took place in the most recent past.
1.我哥哥刚从中国来，一个朋友都还没有。(My older brother just came from China. He doesn't have a single friend here yet.)
2. 我刚洗完澡，舒服极了。(I just showered, and feel so great.)
刚才is a noun that refers to the time shortly before the act of speaking.
3. A: 你知道王朋在哪儿吗？ (Do you know where Wang Peng is?)
B: 他刚才在这儿，我不知道他去哪儿了。(He was here a moment ago. I don’t know where he went.)
4. 弟弟刚才吃了十五个饺子，喝了两碗酸辣汤。 (My younger brother finished fifteen dumplings and two bowls of hot and sour soup a moment ago.)
a. Although 刚and 刚才are similar in meaning, they are classified as different parts of speech and are therefore used differently.
刚 can be followed by an expression that indicates the duration of time.
5. 他刚走了两天。 (He left only two days ago.)
*他刚才走了两天。is incorrect.
Unlike 刚才 , 刚 cannot be followed by the negation words不 or 没 .
6. A: 你刚才为什么没说？ (Why didn’t you say it a moment ago?)
*你刚为什么没说？
B: 我刚才不想说。 (I didn’t want to say it a moment ago.)
*我刚不想说。
b. A sentence that includes 刚才often ends with了, but a sentence including 刚 cannot have了at the end.
A: 你刚才去哪儿了？老师要你去办公室找他。 (Where were you a moment ago? The teacher wanted you to go to his office.)
B: 我刚才去图书馆了。 (I went to the library.)
A: 明天的考试你开始准备了吗？
(Have you started preparing for tomorrow’s test?)
B: 刚开始准备。 (I just got started.)
*刚开始准备了。
D-16 . verb+ 完: Finished with......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M3DodvTphM
Ex:
I just finished reading a book 我刚刚看完了一本书。
I already finished writing a short passage. 我已经写完短文了。
Her son just finished taking a bath.
My uncle already finished watching that movie.
Mrs. Zhao just finished shopping.
Mr. Liu already finished ordering from the menu.
Prof. Zhou just finished teaching a class.
Dr. Li just finished working.
Lawyer Zhang already finished going to court.
Grandpa just finished the exercise.
Charles just finished going to the bathroom.
My older brother just finished college.
Grammar 4. Resultative Complements (I) Verb + result + 了
Following a verb, an adjective or another verb can be used to denote the result of the action, hence the term resultative complement.
1. 小白菜卖完了。 (Baby Bok Choy is sold out.)
2. 你找错钱了。 (You gave me the incorrect change.)
3.那个人是谁你看清楚了吗? (Did you see clearly who that person was?) [清楚 qīngchu, clear: see Dialogue II]
4. 太好了，这个字你写对了。 (Great! You wrote this character correctly.)
Generally, the negative form of a resultative complement is formed by placing没 (no, not) or 没有 (have not) before the verb.
noun+（还）没/没有 + verb ＊（ｎｏ 了）
1. 小白菜还没卖完。 (Baby bok choy is not sold out yet.)
2. 那个人我没看清楚。 (I didn’t see clearly who that person was.)
3. 糟糕，这个字你没有写对。 (Shoot! You didn’t write this character correctly.)
Following certain verbs, the use of an adjective as the resultative complement is not random. In those cases, it is advisable to take the combination of the verb and the complement as a whole unit.

Last night Wang Peng & Liyou went to a(use MW) Chinese restaurant. There are many people in that restaurant because their food is extremely tasty. At beginning (开始的时候）, it seems that there is not even one seat (available). Because they did not make the reservation, therefore they waited about half an hour. Then Wang Peng ordered two plates of vegetarian dumplings, Li You ordered one plate of Home Style Tofu. Because both of them are vegetarians. They told the waiters not to put any meat at all. But the waiter said: "I am so sorry, the vegetable dumplings were just got sold out, you'd better order something else." Besides home-style tofu, they also ordered two bowls of hot and sour soup. The waiter also asked them what they would like to drink. Wang Peng ordered a bottle of coke, Li You ordered a cup of ice tea. She told the waiter not to put too much ice. The waiter asked if she wants to add some sugar. She said that although she likes spicy things, (but) she does not like sweet things. Since they were very hungry, so they asked if they can serve the food faster. The waiter said no problem. The food will be ready very soon. When they were done eating, Wang Peng said it would be his treat, but he forgot to bring his credit card, also his cash was not enough. Li You said: "forget it, this time is my treat.

上个星期天我们全家人去一家中国饭馆儿吃饭，饭馆儿的人很多。爸爸先点了一盘糖醋鱼，因为他很喜欢吃海鲜。妈妈点了一盘家常豆腐，她告诉服务员家常豆腐不要放肉，因为她吃素。我要了一盘红烧猪肉和凉拌黄瓜。除了这些菜以外，我们还点了两碗酸辣汤。服务员问我们喝点儿什么，我要了一杯冰茶，妈妈要了一杯可乐，还告诉服务员多放一点儿冰。因为我们都饿了，所以让服务员上菜快一点儿。服务员说没问题，菜很快就能做好。
