fcdt02 Posted February 21, 2007 at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 at 04:38 PM I have a trouble with these structures 白+ 动词 and 白+ 动词. What are the differences between them? EX: 白说了 với 说白了 Thank you very much indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahkuang Posted February 21, 2007 at 08:11 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 at 08:11 PM When word "白" posits in front of verb, means negative. The whole phrase means be useless doing sth. When it is in the back of verb, it means clearly, simplified. To simplify what I said/ did Hope help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
againstwind Posted February 22, 2007 at 03:36 AM Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 at 03:36 AM some further complementarity: When word "白" posits in front of verb, means negative. The whole phrase means be useless doing sth. at this situation, 白 is an adverb, means 1. vainly, in vain: 白说了 白做了 白跑一趟 白费力气 2. without payment: 白吃 白干 白教了他两年 白看了两场电影 When it is in the back of verb, it means clearly, simplified. at this situation, 白 is an adjective, means 1. white 2.clear: 说白了 真相大白 不白之冤 3.blank: 白开水 一穷二白 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
