LyYenKhang Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:40 AM Report 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
anonymoose Posted April 23, 2011 at 05:50 AM Report 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
DespikableMi Posted April 24, 2011 at 02:06 AM Report Posted April 24, 2011 at 02:06 AM "已经五年了", "...已五年“，or ”已经五年" = According to the way I speak they are all OK Quote
