sunshine86 Posted February 14, 2015 at 02:58 PM Report Posted February 14, 2015 at 02:58 PM When I want to say that this room is very clean, which ones of these variants are correct？ 这个地方过安静 这个地方过于安静 这个地方过于静 I would say 这个地方过于安静, but is 过安静 or 过于静 also ok? Thank you Quote
dwq Posted February 14, 2015 at 08:14 PM Report Posted February 14, 2015 at 08:14 PM First, 安静 is 'quiet', not 'clean'. Second, 过于 means 'exceedingly / overly' and has a somewhat negative connotation. 很 would be better suited for meaning 'very'. 1 Quote
Mr John Posted February 14, 2015 at 10:31 PM Report Posted February 14, 2015 at 10:31 PM Pretty sure 这个房间很干净 would do it. Quote
山有木兮 Posted February 15, 2015 at 03:35 AM Report Posted February 15, 2015 at 03:35 AM "clean" is 净 not 静 ，and "过于" means too much ，using "很" is better 。这个房间很干净。 Quote
sunshine86 Posted February 15, 2015 at 09:43 AM Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 at 09:43 AM Thank you for the answers, however I would still like to know if the sentences 这个地方过于静 and 这个地方过安静 are grammatically correct or not (with the meaning this place is too quiet). Quote
Tiana Posted February 15, 2015 at 09:47 AM Report Posted February 15, 2015 at 09:47 AM No, they're not. Consider all the advice above. You may also like to try: 这个地方太安静了. Quote
