Desmond Posted October 22, 2005 at 01:13 AM Report Posted October 22, 2005 at 01:13 AM Hey guys! I just signed up, so for y'all out there who don't know me yet, 你好! So I have a question for anyone who may know the solution. I'm reading a dialogue right now about a girl who's crying. Someone is trying to console her and says “一句话也不说？ 怎么回事？" I understand, "you're not even saying a single word", but not 怎么回事 Could someone help me out? Thanks! Des Quote

gougou Posted October 22, 2005 at 04:05 AM Report Posted October 22, 2005 at 04:05 AM 回 is the measure word for 事 here (took me a while to figure that one out when I first saw it, too... ) Quote
Quest Posted October 22, 2005 at 09:34 AM Report Posted October 22, 2005 at 09:34 AM The longer form of 怎么回事 is: 是 怎么 一回 事? is how/what one matter? "what's the matter?" what happened? Quote
