senorsmile Posted August 19, 2007 at 03:53 AM Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 at 03:53 AM 可能出了事儿。 I am not grasping exactly what this phrase means。 Here is my guess: Maybe a matter happened 谢谢你们 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsmile Posted August 19, 2007 at 04:32 AM Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 at 04:32 AM so then, 事儿 here means “something”? and, 出了 here means "has happened"？ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madizi Posted August 19, 2007 at 04:42 AM Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 at 04:42 AM 出事 means "have an accident" or "meet with a mishap". So here, it is devided, because 了 indicates that this already happened. As for 儿, I'm not sure. Maybe this was told/written in Beijing dialect, which likes to use 儿. Or it is just added for a purpose that word has two syllables. I think that you could tell it otherwise: 可能出事了. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raoming Posted August 19, 2007 at 06:08 AM Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 at 06:08 AM the sentence can also say:可能出了事. the word 儿 is just a local dialect,not only beijing dialect.you can omit it. for theose who live south china could never say 可能出了事儿.it's just a north accent.
