freshy Posted August 31, 2004 at 07:10 PM Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 at 07:10 PM I'm new to the site. I ran across it last week and was impressed with the amount of traffic, so I joined. I have a quick question: Lianxi. Verb. to practice Could you also use lianxi as a noun? I need a lot of practice. Wo yao hen duo lianxi. Or is there another word for the noun, practice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted August 31, 2004 at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 at 07:55 PM I need a lot of practice. 我要多练习。 wo yao duo lian xi. It's still a verb here. It can be used as a noun -- e.g. 如果你不去，这么多天来的练习不就白费了吗？ 我要很多练习 -- however, is not quite right because the Chinese prefer using a verb phrase to express that same idea-- i.e. I need to practice a lot.
