ABC_In_AZ Posted August 29, 2015 at 07:01 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 at 07:01 PM Hello, I am working on some homework. I am unsure of the sentence structure if you want to say something like: "There are many people inside the restaurant" or "There are many people in the classroom". I think I could say something like: 饭馆 有 很 多 人。 But I vaguely remember using 进 to specify "inside". Any help? Thank you. P.S. does this site have a built in pinyin to character translator for easy input?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry Posted August 30, 2015 at 03:42 PM Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 at 03:42 PM You would put 裡, 裡面,裡邊,or 裡頭 after the place, not 進. So to say, "There are many people inside the restaurant," you could say: 飯館裡有很多人。 To say "There are many people inside the classroom," it would be: 教室裡有很多人。 I hope this clears this issue up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messidor Posted September 20, 2015 at 04:06 PM Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 at 04:06 PM Or less frequent 有很多人在饭馆里(头),but this is colloquial and is used when you wanna emphasize people are many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to my knowledge, I use the IME in windows 7, works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
