mxian Posted April 7, 2008 at 03:17 PM Report Posted April 7, 2008 at 03:17 PM I understand this line 美國加州某小鎭 as follows: 美國 = America (USA) 加 = add on 州 = continent 某小鎭 = some town 美國 and 某小鎭 are easy to understand. But 加州 confuses me. Could someone help explain the line's meaning and gramatical construct please. Thank you very much. Quote
