Greetings, all! I'm excited to welcome you today. Today, we will delve into some wonderful Chinese vocabulary from Chapter 3 of the HSK 4 standard course that can greatly improve your language skills. Acquiring a new language may pose difficulties, but remember, we are here to support each other! Therefore, get comfortable and let's explore these words that will boost your communication abilities. I am eager to introduce them to you!
挺 (tǐng)
Usage: Used as an adverb to emphasize the degree of an adjective.
Structure: 挺 + adjective + 的
Example: 这部电影挺好看的。(Zhèbù diànyǐng tǐng hǎokàn de.)(This movie is quite good.)
