nǐ hǎo Benny lǎo shī
May I know what’s diff. between the following words? (when to use them)
1) 挺 and 蛮
2) 贴 and 粘
If i wanna say “i give you 3 choices/options”, is it like this: “wǒ gěi nǐ sān gè xuǎn zé”
Thank you.

1. 挺 and 蛮 both mean “very or quite”, they are very verbal and spoken words and the difference eis subtle.
2. 贴 = to post and 粘 = to glue/ to past
You are right with the sentence "i give you 3 choices/options”
串 = a string of, to string up, to connect
搅 = to stir/ to mix

①这两个字的意思是完全一样的，e.g. 挺好＝蛮好，挺漂亮的＝蛮漂亮的。
区别在于：挺is more standard, 蛮is dialect which is more commonly used in Shanghai.
②这两个字的区别在于：
贴：薄片状的东西粘在另一个东西上 attach a thin slip on something by gluing
e.g. 把这张画贴在墙上
粘：黏的东西附着在物体上或者互相连接（of a sticky substance）cling to an object, be joined to sth.
e.g. 这两块巧克力粘在一起了。
③串 to string up, to connect
e.g. 把肉串起来烤
搅 to mix up, to stir
e.g. 咖啡放了方糖，你先搅一搅再喝。
I hope you keep on going in Mandarin learning!
Merry Christmas, Henry! | |
