| 无所谓 (wú suǒ wèi) “to be indifferent, not to matter, whatever” This pithy construction escapes the lips in a single exhale. In casual conversation, it means exactly what it means: “I don’t care one way or another.” In more specific situations, the speaker’s tone might indicate that they are not as indifferent as their words would lead you to believe. 我对她无所谓 (wǒ duì tā wú suǒ wèi) = I don’t care about her.  来不及 (lái bu jí) “no time, can’t make it” 来不及 (lái bu jí) might not be the most beautiful phrase on this list, but it’s certainly useful. The unit 及 (jí) “and, up to, in time for” is used in words like 及时 (jí shí) “promptly, in time,” 及早 (jí zǎo) “as soon as possible,” and the somewhat relevant 等不及 (děng bu jí) “I can’t wait.” With 来不及 (lái bu jí), time is of the essence. 越来越 (yuè lái yuè) “more and more” Most beginner Mandarin learners will probably encounter the 越X越Y construction, as in 我越看越喜欢 (wǒ yuè kàn yuè xǐ huān) “The more I look, the more I like (it).” The simpler 越来越 (yuè lái yuè) “more and more” is also more graceful, as in 我看着越来越喜欢 (wǒ kàn zhe yuè lái yuè xǐ huān) “Looking (at it), I like (it) more and more.” 前半生 (qián bàn shēng) “first half of one’s life” Here’s another case of Mandarin Chinese showing that it can’t be beat in pithiness. 前半生 (qián bàn shēng) breaks down into 前 (qián) “ahead, first,” 半 (bàn) “half,” and 生 (shēng) “life,” and it means just that: “first half (of) life.” Beautiful simplicity at its finest. #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
