Tulee Posted October 11, 2011 at 12:24 PM Report Posted October 11, 2011 at 12:24 PM Hi. I was wondering about what this phrase I cam across means. 哪儿出得来 Any help would be much appreciated Quote
creamyhorror Posted October 12, 2011 at 06:57 PM Report Posted October 12, 2011 at 06:57 PM 哪儿 = how can [it be that] 出得来 = able to come out (出来 = verb, 得 = complement, meaning 'able to') 他哪儿出得来 = "How could he [possibly] come out?" ==> of course he could not come out 他哪儿出不来 = "How could he not be able to come out?" ==> of course he could come out Give an example sentence and we can interpret or break it down for you.

jbradfor Posted October 12, 2011 at 08:12 PM Report Posted October 12, 2011 at 08:12 PM More guesses: could it be translated as "where can [he] come out?" Quote
yeut Posted October 28, 2011 at 10:26 PM Report Posted October 28, 2011 at 10:26 PM How about: Where can I get out (of a building)? Quote
