cbfunky Posted March 25, 2021 at 01:33 PM Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 at 01:33 PM So we have this sentence here in our homework and I don't understand what's supposed to go in the blank: 现在我要_______学习汉语， 可能我给我朋友翻译。 The way I understand the sentence, I would just leave it as is: "I want to learn Chinese now, so I can offer a translation to my friend." The only thing I could think of is 是 *(so: If I learn Chinese now, I can offer a translation to my friend) but then the sentence structure seems off to me. Or maybe 去? Any input is appreciated Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted March 26, 2021 at 09:24 AM Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 at 09:24 AM It could be a lot of things - is it part of a particular exercise on certain grammar / vocab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's the thing, the grammar of the day was 了 and 才 but I don't think those are relevant here. Keep in mind this is only my first semester of Chinese, we're about half-way through the term, so it shouldn't be anything complex. I think 开始 is probably a good guess, I have not heard any of the other suggested words, so they're outside my scope. I'm still not ruling out 去, unless someone has strong opinions about that?

cbfunky Posted March 26, 2021 at 03:27 PM Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 at 03:27 PM A teacher always verifies afterwards to rule out exactly that problem. So I may still get points for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
