Verbing briefly with "yixia"

Nível: HSK 2 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

After briefly reading this article, you will know how to use 一下 (yīxià) to express a brief action! To express that a verb is carried out briefly or "a little bit," you can add 一下 (yīxià) after it. Sometimes 一下 (yīxià) can soften the tone. Subj. + Verb + 一下 + Obj. Often, adding 一下 (yīxià) just makes the Chinese feel more natural. This is not something you can get a feel for quickly. You'll want to observe how native speakers use 一下 (yīxià) over a long period of time to really get used to how it is used.
