The "all" adverb "dou"

Nível: HSK 1 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

The adverb 都 (dōu) is used to express "all" in Chinese. It's common to use 都 (dōu) in a variety of sentences where it would seem unnecessary in English. Subj. + 都 + [Verb Phrase] Remember that 都 (dōu) appears after the subject. A common mistake learners make is to put 都 (dōu) at the beginning of the sentence (as "all" often appears there in English). This isn't good Chinese - make sure you put 都 (dōu) after the subject and before the verb. • 你们 都 认识 John 吗 ？Nǐmen dōu rènshi John ma?Do you all know John? • 他们 都 在 上海 。Tāmen dōu zài Shànghǎi.They are all in Shanghai. • 明天 我们 都 可以 去 。Míngtiān wǒmen dōu kěyǐ qù.Tomorrow we all can go. • 你们 都 用 wiki 吗 ？Nǐmen dōu yòng wiki ma?Do you all use the wiki? • 我们 都 要 冰水。Wǒmen dōu yào bīngshuǐ .We all want ice water.
