Lesson Transcript

Let's look at some more examples.
Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.
今天真热。 (Jīntiān zhēn rè.)
今天真热。 (Jīntiān zhēn rè.)
今天真冷。(Jīntiān zhēn lěng.)
今天真冷。(Jīntiān zhēn lěng.)
今天真暖和。(Jīntiān zhēn nuǎnhuo.)
今天真暖和。(Jīntiān zhēn nuǎnhuo.)
今天真凉快。 (Jīntiān zhēn liángkuai.)
今天真凉快。 (Jīntiān zhēn liángkuai.)
天气真好。(Tiānqì zhēn hǎo.)
天气真好。(Tiānqì zhēn hǎo.)
Did you notice how I used a different pattern?
天气真好。(Tiānqì zhēn hǎo.)
"The weather is really nice."
天气真好。(Tiānqì zhēn hǎo.)
First is 天气 (tiānqì) "weather." 天气. 天气。
Next is, 真 (zhēn). "really." 真。
After that is, 好 (hǎo), "good," or "nice." 好 好。
All together, it's 天气真好 (Tiānqì zhēn hǎo.). Literally, "weather really nice," but it translates as "The weather is really nice."
This pattern is:
天气真 (Tiānqì zhēn) {weather-related adjective}。
"The weather is really {weather-related adjective}."
天气真 (Tiānqì zhēn) {weather-related adjective}。
