WoAiJolinTsai Posted June 4, 2006 at 09:20 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 at 09:20 PM Can someone give me some sample sentences with "一点儿也不" in them? Would a good translation of 一点儿也不 be "not at all" ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasL Posted June 5, 2006 at 12:01 AM Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 at 12:01 AM 一点儿也不贵 : not expensive at all 我一点儿也不喜欢你: I don't like you at all / I don't even like you a bit. 一点儿也没有: not even a bit. I guess you could translate 一点儿也不 as "not at all" or "not even a bit.." In fact when I just started studying Chinese ( not such a long time ago ) I did what most people do, I looked up some foul language in my dictionary and I remembered my Oxford concise English - Chinese, Chinese - English gave "一点儿也不" as a translation for the f-word, I lost that dictionary on a holiday in Egypt so I can't check in what context it was used now. by the way I have a question myself as well; are 一点儿也不 and 一点儿都不 interchangeable? or is 也 single & 都 plural? I don't think saying "一点儿都不贵" instead of "一点儿也不贵" would be wrong, would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted June 5, 2006 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 at 01:07 AM Here's one: 一點也不麻煩! (no trouble at all) Yes, I think you can translate it as that. Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
