Posted on: My boss isn't satisfied

lujiaojie, thank you!

however, i'm still unclear how that differs from the use of 的。　ｉｎ　ａ　ｐｒｅｖｉｏｕｓ　ｌｅｓｓｏｎ　ｗｅ　ｈａｄ：

你说的不对。

the logic you described above would seem to apply here too.

lol, ken's messing up the tones was very encouraging for the rest of us -- seriously -- if he's still learning, then it's ok for us too... i'm just glad the tone police operates only locally at CPod.

thanks for another great lesson!

1. 努力 still has incorrect tones on the pdf

2. could sb offer some guidelines for using 的 versus 得 in constructions such as 我电脑用得不太好..?

3. ken is the man. and we all know who the woman is :)

hi, could we please have a breakdown of "marry" for men vs. women -- what words are used in chinese? e.g. we had 结婚 in an earlier lesson.

thank you!

hehe, i have a feeling CP is trying to be extra PC. we had a lesson on men's 肌肉 being 发达, now this gem of men-shopping.. oh, and who got the losing end in the yang jie's diary series - they guy, of course :)  don't get me wrong, i love it! but will the guys ever get a podcast discussing a female figure? or are we objectifying boys only here? light487 above would probably agree.

is there a difference between 运动　ａｎｄ　体育　ｆｏｒ　ｓｐｏｒｔｓ？

Posted on: Do I look good in this?

speaking of measure words: the lesson uses 个　ｆｏｒ　颜色　ｂｕｔ　ｔｈｅ　ｄｉｃｔｉｏｎａｒｙ　ｓａｙｓ　种　。。。　what's up with that? :)

also, as i suggested elsewhere, i think measure words should be put in parentheses in the pdfs' vocab with nouns.. that would help all of us.

greetings! what's the difference between 房间，室，屋子？ all can mean room -- are they interchangeable?

by the way, it seems the expression 一直 can also be combined with 都 for emphasis, along the same lines.
