\tExplanation of difficult points <\/strong><\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

1. \u4e00\u70b9\u513f \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

"\u4e00\u70b9\u513f"(y\u012b di\u01cenr) means "a little bit". You can put it behind a verb, adverb, or adjective. "\u513f"(ér) does not have an exact meaning. It's just a kind of language habbit.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

2. \u4e0d\u8981…… \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

"\u4e0d\u8981……"(bú yào) here is commanding, meaning not "don't" instead of "don't want".<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

3. \u6253\u5f00 \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

When "\u6253\u5f00"(d\u01ce k\u0101i) used as a term, it means "to turn on". "\u5f00"(k\u0101i) itself can be a verb or an adjective. For example, "\u5f00\u7a7a\u8c03"(k\u0101i k\u014dng tiáo) ("\u5f00" as a verb), "\u7a7a\u8c03\u662f\u5f00\u7684"(k\u014dng tiáo shì k\u0101i de) ("\u5f00" as an adjective).<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

4. \u4e86 \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

"\u4e86"(le) in "\u4f60\u611f\u5192\u4e86"(n\u01d0 g\u01cen mào le) can be used after a verb to indicate that the action has been finished or has already been a certain state.<\/div><\/p>\n
