高可文 Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:23 AM Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:23 AM I've just finished my first year of Chinese. Occasionally I come across a 成語 and have no idea what it means. Are 成語 used that commonly? If yes, what are some I should know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:27 AM Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:27 AM yes 成語s are used very often. All the 成語s themselves can fill up a whole dictionary, so asking for common 成語 is like asking for common words to use in a language. I suggest that you learn 成語s as words when you come across them.

sm_sung Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:36 AM Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 at 02:36 AM All the 成語s themselves can fill up a whole dictionary On that note, there are specialized 成語 dictionaries around. Good for quick reference when looking up 成語-s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
