nǐ hǎo Benny! zhù nǐ xīn nián kuài le

I would like to ask 2 questions:

1) Whats the diff. between 亮 and 光. If i wanna say “too bright”, can i say “太光”?

2) How do I use this word 闷 ? as I checked from a dictionary it means either mēn (stuffy) or mèn (melancholy). I would like to know how to use mèn (melancholy) here.

Thanks in advance :)

Dear Henry,

First of all, I wish you all the best in the year of 2010.

1. 亮 = light (adjective) and 光 means “the light”, it it a Noun. Therefore you can’t say “太光”.

2. 闷 is boring, it is also an adjective, you can say, for example:

我觉得很闷 = I feel bored.
