Expressing distance with "li"

Nível: HSK 2 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Are we there yet? One of the ways to express distance is to use 离 (lí). The word order might seem a little tricky at first, but once you get it down, you'll be able to talk about distance with no problem. Unless you're talking about a very specific distance, you'll normally want to pair 离 (lí) with the adjective 近 (jìn) for "close," or 远 (yuǎn) for "far." Place 1 + 离 + Place 2 + Adv. + 近 / 远 So this pattern is normally used to simply express that one place is (not) close or (not) far from another place. Easy, right? It's learning the sentence pattern that usually trips learners up, because it doesn't feel like natural word order to a speaker of English. • 我 家 离 公司 很 近。Wǒ jiā lí gōngsī hěn jìn.My house is close to my office. • 美国 离 中国 很 远。Měiguó lí Zhōngguó hěn yuǎn.The USA is far from China. • 这 个 酒店 离 火车站 很 近。 Zhège jiǔdiàn lí huǒchēzhàn hěn jìn.This hotel is very close to the train station. • 那 个 酒吧 离 这儿 太 远 了， 我 不 想 去。 Nàge jiǔbā lí zhèr tài yuǎn le, wǒ bù xiǎng qù.That bar is too far away from here. I don't want to go. • 我 不想 去 离 家 很 远 的 地方 工作。Wǒ bù xiǎng qù lí jiā hěn yuǎn de dìfang gōngzuò.I don't want to go work at a place very far away from home.
