Rich7 Posted April 5, 2020 at 09:29 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 at 09:29 PM Hello everybody here, I´m new in this forum. Here´s my first question: Although I already know most of the uses of the particle 了 in the following sentence 快春节了，他准备好回家过春节了 I cant get my mind around the last 了. Can you show me light?

The original post is probably just quoting a sentence of "beginner-textbook Chinese." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
