In Chinese, there is another way to make comparisons. You can use 没有 (méiyǒu) to express that something is "not as" adjective as something else.![]() Basic Usage As well as with 比 (bǐ), you can also use 没有 (méiyǒu) to make basic comparisons. You could think of 没有 (méiyǒu) as the opposite of 比 (bǐ) - it works in the same way, but rather than expressing "more... than..." it expresses "not as... as...": Structure: Noun 1 + 没有 + Noun 2 + Adj. In this structure, the noun that's placed first is less "adjective" than the second noun, making 没有 (méiyǒu) the opposite of 比 (bǐ) for comparison purposes. Examples: 这个地方没有上海好玩。 (zhège dìfang méiyǒu Shànghǎi hǎowán) = This place is not as fun as Shanghai. 火车没有飞机快。 (huǒchē méiyǒu fēijī kuài) = Trains are not as fast as airplanes. 他没有他弟弟聪明。 (tā méiyǒu tā dìdi cōngming) = He's not as smart as his younger brother. 你们公司没有我们公司大。 (nǐmen gōngsī méiyǒu wǒmen gōngsī dà) = Your company is not as big as ours. 拼音没有汉字难。 (pīnyīn méiyǒu Hànzì nán) = Pinyin is not as difficult as Chinese characters. 坐公交车没有坐地铁方便。 (zuò gōngjiāochē méiyǒu zuò dìtiě fāngbiàn) = Taking the bus is not as convenient as taking the metro. 爸爸做的菜没有妈妈做的菜好吃。(bàba zuò de cài méiyǒu māma zuò de cài hǎochī) = The food dad cooks is not as tasty as the food mom cooks. #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 ![]() |
