What another word for add plus#
Many English intransitive verbs are translated by verb+noun compounds, such as tiàowǔ ( 跳舞 literally "to jump a dance", meaning "to dance") such items may be regarded as single lexical words, although the two parts can become separated by (for example) aspect markers, and in fact they generally behave grammatically as a verb plus an object. Grammatically, some strings of characters behave as single words in some contexts, but are separable in others. In Chinese, the concept of words and the boundaries between them is not always transparent, and the Chinese script does not use spaces between words. Informally, however, it is often acceptable to use the general classifier ge ( simplified Chinese: 个 traditional Chinese: 個) in place of other specific classifiers.
There are many different classifiers in the language, and each countable noun generally has a particular classifier associated with it. Predicate adjectives are normally used without a copular verb ("to be") and so can be regarded as a type of verb.Īs in many other East Asian languages, classifiers or measure words are required when numerals and sometimes other words, such as demonstratives, are used with nouns. There are also location markers, which are placed after a noun and so are often called postpositions they are often used in combination with a coverb. Chinese prepositions behave similarly to serialized verbs in some respects, and they are often referred to as coverbs.

This phenomenon is more typically found in subject–object–verb languages, such as Turkish and Japanese.Ĭhinese frequently uses serial verb constructions, which involve two or more verbs or verb phrases in sequence. In a noun phrase, for example, the head noun comes last, and all modifiers, including relative clauses, come in front of it. Otherwise, Chinese is chiefly a head-final language, meaning that modifiers precede the words that they modify.
The basic word order is subject–verb–object (SVO), as in English.
Categories such as number (singular or plural) and verb tense are frequently not expressed by any grammatical means, but there are several particles that serve to express verbal aspect and, to some extent, mood. The language almost entirely lacks inflection words typically have only one grammatical form. The grammar of Standard Chinese or Mandarin shares many features with other varieties of Chinese.
