Expressing "never again" with "zai ye bu"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Sometimes you may do something or experience something that you never ever want to do again. How do we express that in Chinese? One of the ways is to use this quirky combination of three little words: 再也不 (zài yě bù)! To express that something will never be done again, or never happen again, you can use this structure: Subj. + 再也 + 不 (+ Auxiliary Verb) + Verb Phrase + 了 Notice that 了 is used. In this case it's "change of state 了" . This is because it is now the case that the action will not be done again. It indicates some kind of determination or decision.
