I still can't. Using Google Chrome, it's not working for me.

Ah, cheers for the help Jason. I'll chalk it up to a flavour thing.

Oh thanks catherine, I didn't see that. I'm still guilty of skipping posts with lots of chinese text, because I never understand them :-p

I don't think the question was really answered though. I still don't understand why 放 is in the sentence with that translation.

In the expansion sentences we have:

卡放在包里。

kǎ fàng zài bāo lǐ

And the translation is "the card is in the bag". Why isn't it just 卡在包里? Doesn't 放 imply an action?

有意思！"输给了" So you "give" your loss to someone.

There's a lot of talk in the English press today about Rooney's lack of ability to 管自己...

I've joined one that has the most ludicrously complicated rules I've ever seen, just to make sure no-one complains about picking North Korea :-p

Actually, on that same note (he says, sneakily replying to both), I've never seen 比较 used before - but I've just found this lesson:

Which I'll now study. Hooray :)

Thanks Jason and Connie! (wish you could reply to more than one person!)

That explanation makes it quite clear, thanks. I still don't really understand how to properly use 比 and 更. Back to qing wen for me I guess :p
