(I don't get that last one's structure, could it be wèi, or bù kě yǐ...??) BTW, you could just say Cpod mí - 中文播客迷

June 9, 2007 at 1:51 PMZhitomir 你好! 老虎 is the name, formal and informal. Of course there's the need for 2 字 which explains why hǔ is not used by itself (in 成语 you can see almost any bound character freed from a word of which it represents the most meaningful part, e.g. in 如虎添翼 rú hǔ tiān yì : "like a tiger having grown wings", rú hǔ is elliptic, but it wasn't in classical 文言, literate language). You find lǎo in 老鼠 lǎo shǔ (rat, mouse) as well, and remember Chairman Mao's 纸老虎 zhǐ lǎo hǔ... Perhaps he was mischievous, but no longer was he a child then. :]

June 9, 2007 at 11:01 AM就是说，谢谢你们俩人 Changye 和 tcfl! 对不起，我回答了以后才看到你是给我回信的。 我的中文才疏学浅，我尽管是中级的，但是你们高级学生之中是底级的!

June 9, 2007 at 10:41 AMSteveinsandiego, 你从圣地牙哥来吗? nǐ cóng Shèng dì yá gē lái ma? (you - from - San Diego - come - ?) Do you come from San Diego? Are you from San Diego? As you see 来 means "coming". Here it refers to a move in space, which is the basic meaning of it as a verb. This basic meaning evolved into a general directional meaning, and 来 can be added to almost any verb, almost as a particle, indicating that the action is performed towards the speaker (it is opposed to 去 qù in that function). With a verb indicating a motion, whether performed or not, it means "coming / arriving + up/in", e.g. 他们都来了 tāmen dōu láile : They all came / they're all here / All of them showed up", etc. If you compare 去 and 来 with the same verb you see that they are used depending on the speaker's position, or point of view for abstract verbs. e.g. 出来 (coming out/arriving) / 出去 (getting out/departing) You may soon come across three-verb constructions, in which the second verb plays the role of English particles. There are seven such verbs: 上 下 进 出 回 过 起. The last one (qǐ) is never used with 去 and 起来 is a very common way to indicate that sth is... "(be)coming", or "looking like" (listen to Ken's 请问 on Praxis) viz. 天气冷起来了 tiānqì lěng qǐlái le: It's getting cold (weather - cold - becoming) 他看起来很悲伤
