Expressing "as expected" with "guoran"
Nível: HSK 6 | Categoria: Gramática
Fórmula Sintática: Clause 1 ,果然 ,Clause 2
Explicação da Regra:
You can add the adverb 果然 (guǒrán) to add the sense that what you're about to say is entirely expected. It's kind of like starting a sentence with "just as we thought" or "just as we expected," but it's just one word in Chinese. It's kind of like the opposite of 竟然 or 居然 . Subj. + 果然 + Predicate 果然 can also come before a full independent clause. In this case, it is usually preceded by a comma. Clause 1 ,果然 ,Clause 2
