First word this week is for #SpokenTuesday is too far-fetched – 牵强 qiānqiǎng!
⭐️
牵 qiān – to drag, pull
强 qiǎng – by force
⭐️
牵强 qiānqiǎng – far-fetched (adj)
⭐️⭐️
You can think of 牵强 qiānqiǎng/far-fetched ideas as of ideas that sound too superficial and far from reality. For example, remember those dialogues from language textbooks that are okay for beginners, but would never happen in real life? They are too 牵强 qiānqiǎng 😑
⭐️⭐️⭐️
How would you say “This is too far-fetched”?
@jibbbbbbbbbbbb: 这是太牵强!!
@yourmandarin: @jibbbbbbbbbbbbCool! You almost got it right! Just remember: 是 is for nouns (这是🍎), and 太…了 is for adjectives (这个太好了). Either one structure or the other, not two together😉
@jibbbbbbbbbbbb: @yourmandarin这个太牵强 对吗?
@yourmandarin: @jibbbbbbbbbbbb很好！再加“了”就完美了：这个太牵强了 / 这太牵强了 (两者都可以）😉🏅
@jibbbbbbbbbbbb: @yourmandarin谢谢你
@yourmandarin: @jibbbbbbbbbbbb不客气☀️
@jessie.conner: 他是你輩子最愛的人？ 太牽強了吧😉
@panda_sourcing: 这是牵强
@yourmandarin: @panda_sourcing”这很牵强” / “这太牵强了”😉 (because 牵强 is an adjective)
@panda_sourcing: @yourmandarin🙏🏾💃🏾
@mercedesgallo53: 这个是很牵强!
@tessahendershott: 这样子太牵强了吧
@chy.wendy: 这个太牵强了
