Hello, today we are going to learn the character Tīng.
The ancient Chinese character for Tīng includes the writing of the character kǒu, which means mouth,
and érwǔ, which means ear.
So Tīng combines the image of the ears and the mouth, indicating to fill the sound with ears.
And nowadays, Tīng, the writing, is simplified with kǒu and jīn, and the meaning is to listen, to hear.
Now read after me.
Tīng, tīng, tīng, tīnglì, lì here means nénglì, ability, tīnglì, listening ability, hearing.
tīnglì, tīnglì, hǎo tīng, hǎo, good, hǎo tīng, pleasant to hear, hǎo tīng, hǎo tīng, zhè shǒu gē hěn hǎo tīng.
zhè, this, shòu, here is the measure word for gē, gē means song, hěn, very, zhè shǒu gē hěn hǎo tīng.
This song sounds very good, very nice.
zhè shǒu gē hěn hǎo tīng, zhè shǒu gē hěn hǎo tīng.
tīng shuō, shuō, speak, tīng shuō has two meanings.
The basic meaning is the listening and speaking.
And also, tīng shuō means hear something inside, or what hears that.
tīng shuō, tīng shuō, tīng jiàn, jiàn, the original meaning is to look, to see.
Here, jiàn is used as a result complement of tīng, tīng jiàn means to hear.
tīng dào, dào is also used as a result complement of tīng, it also means to hear.
tīng jiàn and tīng dào could reproduce each other in many situations.
Here, tīng jiàn and tīng dào still have some differences.
tīng jiàn emphasizes more on the action completion,
and tīng dào emphasizes more on the content.
For example, nǐ tīng dào tā shuō shén me le me?
tā, tī, shuō, shén me, what
nǐ tīng dào tā shuō shén me le me?
Did you hear what he said?
nǐ tīng dào tā shuō shén me le me?
wǒ tīng jiàn le, dàn méi tīng qīng
dàn, but, mei, the negative form
qīng, clear
I heard him, but I didn't hear clearly what he said.
wǒ tīng jiàn le, dàn méi tīng qīng
So here, tīng dào more emphasizes on the content,
and tīng jiàn emphasizes on the action completion.
OK, that's all for today, see you next time.
