creamyhorror Posted July 8, 2012 at 02:52 AM Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 at 02:52 AM I think in dialect we say adj+过+object, e.g. 我快过他 "I'm faster that him". I assume that's not so commonly done in Mandarin? (I'm sure I hear it used sometimes in Mandarin.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
