roddy Posted March 27, 2008 at 11:10 AM Report Posted March 27, 2008 at 11:10 AM Yeah, you've got it right. 悬 can mean risky, dangerous - the ABC has this as a "topo" usage. Quote
Jessisjesses Posted March 29, 2008 at 09:56 AM Report Posted March 29, 2008 at 09:56 AM Yeah it is risky. People use it when they cross the street and a car almost hit one of them,fortunately he is not injured and maybe they will say,"刚才真够悬“. It is used in such situation, like emergencies. Quote
sabrina_gu Posted March 29, 2008 at 10:45 AM Report Posted March 29, 2008 at 10:45 AM this means, just know is so close to trap into trouble, and this sentence also shows a relaxiation after being dangerous. Quote

trien27 Posted April 4, 2010 at 05:41 PM Report Posted April 4, 2010 at 05:41 PM What is topo usage? Is it a term that is only used in a certain region? topo = topographical = Related to certain places / regions. So, "topo usage" = topographical usage = Used in certain places or regions. Quote
Scoobyqueen Posted April 4, 2010 at 06:25 PM Author Report Posted April 4, 2010 at 06:25 PM Thanks for the response. I was on the right track. I thought though that the expression was fairly universal. Quote
