Comparing "buduan" and "buting"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

If something keeps happening and won't stop happening, we say that it is "continuous" or "incessant." In Chinese, the words are 不断 (bùduàn) and 不停 (bùtíng). These two words are usually adverbs in Chinese, but they can sometimes be adjectives too. Their uses are subtly different, so this article will help you distinguish when and where to use them. "不断" is usually placed before the verb it modifies, and it often requires the particle "地" to show that it is an adverb. Subj. + 不断 + 地 + Verb "不停" is a little more versatile and can be placed both before the verb as an adverb, or after the verb as something that is somewhat like a complement. Either way, it means the same thing.
