etribe Posted October 1, 2011 at 06:05 PM Report Posted October 1, 2011 at 06:05 PM hi could someone please explain why 边。。。边 is used in the following sentence: 我wǒ看kàn我wǒ们men边biān逛guàng边biān挑tiāo吧bɑ thanks etribe Quote
edelweis Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:49 PM Report Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:49 PM what exactly is unclear? It looks like a normal use of 一边...一边 to me. "let's choose while walking", "let's visit and choose at the same time". Context might help understand the sentence better. It sounds like something one might say when visiting a market or a street with many stores. Quote
googed Posted October 1, 2011 at 11:42 PM Report Posted October 1, 2011 at 11:42 PM "I think we should make our pick on our walk" = "we can buy (them) while at the market" Quote
Danny2312 Posted October 2, 2011 at 04:13 AM Report Posted October 2, 2011 at 04:13 AM You can walk and shop at the same time. It's not wrong. "边。。。边” is the alternate form of "一边。。。一边" Quote
skylee Posted October 2, 2011 at 07:37 AM Report Posted October 2, 2011 at 07:37 AM #2 & #4 are right. The second part of #3 is not quite what the original sentence means. Quote
