johnmck Posted October 17, 2006 at 12:51 PM Report Posted October 17, 2006 at 12:51 PM I am trying to write the following sentence, "When they are thirsty they drink coke-cola". But the dictionary provides me with a large selection of "when"s. Which "when" should I use in this sentence? Quote
HashiriKata Posted October 17, 2006 at 01:04 PM Report Posted October 17, 2006 at 01:04 PM 。。。的时候 is one acceptable "when"： 口渴的时候，他们喝可口可乐 wannabeafreak, are your sentences in Cantonese? Quote
againstwind Posted October 17, 2006 at 02:40 PM Report Posted October 17, 2006 at 02:40 PM 'When' doesn't have to even appear ,if you wanna express "When they are thirsty they drink coke-cola". e.g. 他们渴了就喝可口可乐。 Of course, this is a kind of free translation not exact. HashiriKata's example is definitely right. Quote
