日期:2015-07-30 22:02  点击:405

The character "又" (yòu) can be used to attribute two qualities to something. This is like saying that something is "both ... and ... " in English.

Structure:
The structure in Chinese is:


Subject + 又 + Adjective 1 + 又 + Adjective 2

Examples:

Tā yòu ɡāo yòu shuài.
他 又 高 又 帅。
He is both tall and handsome.
Zhè ɡè píjiǔ yòu hǎohē yòu piányi.
这 个 啤酒 又 好喝 又 便宜。
This beer is both good-tasting and cheap.

P.s. Notice that as in English, the two words can't contrast in feeling. They must both be bad or both be good.
