April 28, 2012, 12:50 AMQuestion about '。。。也。。。不到哪儿去‘ structure. Can you use more than single character phrases like 漂亮，清楚，etc? More than two characters doesn't sound natural to me but I could be wrong. Could you say 明白也明白不到哪儿去， 有意思也有意思不到哪儿去。 贵也贵不到哪儿去？
These are from the podcast:
亏也亏不到哪儿去 – 你不会亏很多. 你就算是亏了但是这个亏不会亏得很厉害 – Here it’s saying, “You’ll lose (money) but you won’t lose a lot / or all of it.”
好也好不到哪儿去 – 就算是好但不是非常非常好 – “It’s good but it’s not fantastic.” It’s “not a lot” of good, but it’s good nonetheless.
帅也帅不到哪儿去 - ”He’s handsome but not extremely handsome.”
丑也丑不到哪儿去 – “He’s ugly but not terribly ugly.”
赚也赚不到哪儿去 – 你会赚但是不会赚很多 – “You’ll earn/make money but you won’t make a lot.”
