6 Golden Rules of Mandarin

Mandarin mein verbs aam taur par subject ke hisaab se nahi badalte aur grammatical gender nahi hota. Word order aur particles ko samajhna sabse zaroori hai.

Sentence train — tap to listen

我今天在家跟他吃饭。= I eat/have a meal with him at home today.

1 Subject + Verb + Object

Chinese often uses simple SVO sentence order like English.

2 Time before the action

Time words usually come before the main verb, right after the subject.

3 Location with 在 (zài)

For an action happening at a place, the location phrase comes before verb.

4 Negation: 不 / 没

不 negates habits and present state; 没(有) negates past action or possession.

5 Yes/no questions with 吗

Add question particle 吗 at the very end of any positive statement.

6 Possession with 的 (de)

Attach the particle 的 after the owner or descriptor.
