Expressing "contrary to expectations" with "pianpian"

Nível: HSK 6 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

偏偏 (piānpiān) is probably one of the hardest adverbs for Chinese learners to master, since it is actually quite nuanced in the ways that it is used. Usually it begins the second clause of a sentence, and it expresses that something contrary to expectations has happened. There are two types of expectations: objective requirements and hopes/desires. In addition, 偏偏 can also express a meaning similar to 仅仅 or 只有 , with an air of dissatisfaction. The structure is pretty simple. First, a statement is said in the first clause to "set up" the situation (A), then 偏偏 is placed before or after the subject in the second clause (B). A, Subject + 偏偏 + B
