HSK 5Bài 6/11 · 7 điểm ngữ pháp

Spoken stance and resistance

Colloquial frames can praise, reproach, dismiss a concern, exploit an opportunity or signal resigned agreement. Supply a plausible conversational context before using them. Dictionary equivalence alone cannot teach whether a sentence will sound friendly.

Lỗi hay gặp: The phrase summarizes a stance; it is not asking how to phrase something.

真有你/他/她的

不X白不X suggests there is little to lose or an opportunity would be wasted by not acting.
