Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Adverbs is 总算 (zǒngsuàn) and 终于 (zhōngyú) both can be translated as "finally" or "in the end," but they subtly different in tone. Grammatically, 总算 and 终于 are used basically the same way. They are both adverbs, and they can be placed before the subject or after the subject. However, in comparison to 终于, 总算 is seldom used before the subject. In the simple sentences given below, however, they are fully interchangeable. Subj. + 总算 / 终于 + Verb Both 总算 and 终于 express that an action has finally happened after a long wait, however 总算 implies that the speaker had a bit of an agonizing wait, and it has a heavier tone better suited to complaints.
