mxian Posted April 7, 2008 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 at 03:17 PM I understand this line 美國加州某小鎭 as follows: 美國 = America (USA) 加 = add on 州 = continent 某小鎭 = some town 美國 and 某小鎭 are easy to understand. But 加州 confuses me. Could someone help explain the line's meaning and gramatical construct please. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
