Hey! We don’t have a set topic on Fridays (new ideas are welcome), so let’s have a #Grammar day today✨

This time, let’s learn casually – from examples!

Try turning into a child who notices how people around speak, and copy that👶🏻
Or a parrot.

(This skill will help a lot in real life)

Use as much as you want 想用都少就用多少 (Xiang yong duoshao jiu yong duoshao) | YourMandarin

⭐️

1. Read a phrase
2. Try to guess what it means
3. Try to guess how it works
4. Try to make your own similar phrase

⭐️

1️⃣ Imagine you go traveling with a Chinese friend to a warm country, and forget your sunscreen lotion.
When you ask your friend if you can borrow his/her lotion, they say “Of course!”, and add:
想用多少就用多少
xiǎng yòng duōshao jiù yòng duōshao
Use as much as you want
(“want-use-how much-就-use-how much”)

2️⃣ Now imagine you both go out that night, and come back late. You’d love to sleep in the next day, but is your friend okay with that? Maybe they want to wake up early and explore the city?
So you ask, and they say – “No worries!” And add:
🛌 想睡多久就睡多久
xiǎng shuì duōjiǔ jiù shuì duōjiǔ
Sleep as long as you want
(“want-sleep-how long-就-sleep-how long”)

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got the idea?
Your turn!
How would you say:

– “Eat as much as you want”;
– “Rest as long as you want”?
