Lesson Twenty: Something Strange Here!

Well last few lesson where filled with important words to remember and use in daily life, so I think it would be fitting to move on to equally important word, but that is a little more fun to use.
So without further ado here is your sentence for today.

你是很奇怪的人。 Ni3 Shi4 Hen3 Qi2 Guai4 De5 Ren2

Well several new words in this tiny sentence so let's start breaking them down right now.
First we have 是 ( Shi4 ) ( it means Is/Are ) 奇怪 ( Qi2 Guai4 ) ( it means Weird )  人 ( Ren2 ) ( it means Person ).

So we have our translation, which makes the sentence meaning come out close to this

Literal: You are very weird person
With Grammar: You are a very weird person

This sentence will prove to be fun and very useful to you in your Chinese language adventure.
An important fact to remember is that 奇怪 can also be written as 怪奇 and keep it meaning. However, it is still more correct to write it as 奇怪。

See you all next time on Zhongwen Study 中文學習。
