LyYenKhang Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:40 AM Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:40 AM Is it grammatically correct to use 已 as "already" - as in, yi3 wu3 nian2 - its already been 5 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:50 AM Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:50 AM Yes, although this would likely be used in written Chinese. In oral Chinese, you should say 已经五年. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
