Just kidding, This "bei" is the same character as the "bei" in "blanket," though But it expresses a passive voice. passive sentence If you want to learn about the usage of the "bei" construction, Today, let's learn together. Hello everyone, Welcome to New Year Chinese. Welcome to Dark Talk Mandarin, I am Teacher Chen Xin. Today we are going to learn a very basic sentence pattern in Chinese. Passive voice In the previous Chinese class, I have already explained the usage of the "ba" construction to everyone. Actually, the "bei" construction is a sentence pattern corresponding to the "ba" construction. Their meanings are exactly opposite. Everyone can understand and learn the usage of the "bei" construction by combining it with the "ba" construction. For students who wish to know more, You can take a look at my previous video. What kind of structure is the "bei" construction? Let me give you an example. I have a piece of paper here, A piece of paper. What action am I performing right now? This movement is called "support." Let us summarize my action in one sentence, One could say, I'm out of paper. What am I doing? I'm in trouble. This is a structure consisting of a subject, appositive, and object. In English, it means, I tore the paper. English has the passive voice. This sentence translated into passive voice. We can say, The paper was torn by me. Passive voice also exists in Chinese. When we whisper here, Move the paper forward. Put it at the front, We can say this way, I tore the paper. This structure constitutes the basic form of the "bei" construction. The paper became the subject of a passive construction. Subject plus "bei" Add object Add a verb, Add others. Here, the subject is the recipient of the action. The subject is the receiver of the action. The particle "被" is followed by the agent performing the action. "Bei" is placed before the performer of the action. The object here can be omitted. The rest is just how it is. Let's take a look at the following example. My younger brother drank his drink. beverage The younger brother drank his drink. Convert this sentence into a passive construction. How can we say it? Yes, object fronting. We'll serve his drink in advance. And add "bei" as well. His drink was drunk by his younger brother. Alright, let's go through a few more exercises to become familiar with the "bei" construction. How should the content of this image be described? How to describe this picture? What happened to the glass? The glass was broken. Here we have omitted the object. It wasn't said that it was broken by water. In passive constructions, The object can be omitted. The following picture. What happened to his car? His car was hit. Hit them together forcefully, like this. Just call it a collision. His car was hit. The following picture. The wine was all drunk. Now let's take a look at the characteristics of the "bei" construction. First, the verb in a passive construction must be a transitive verb. That is to say, a verb can be followed by an object or other elements. I threw away that old rag. Here, "扔" is a transitive verb. You could say "throwing clothes." My book has been borrowed by Xiao Ming. You can add things behind it. For example, borrowing books, borrowing money. Second, negative compound words are placed before "bei." Subject, plus negative compound Bless, add object Add a verb, add something else. For example, I didn't drink all the water in the bottle. The negative word is not placed before "bei." I didn't drink all the water in the bottle. Third, place the time expression before "being." Subject, plus time or date Bless, bless the object, Add a verb, then add the rest. He was criticized by his teacher today. Today, the time expression is placed before "bei" here. He was criticized by his teacher today. Fourth, potential verbs, For example, may, should It must be placed before "bei." Subject, plus potential verb Bless, add object Add a verb, then add the rest. For example, he might have been scolded by his boss. So I'm in a bad mood. Maybe might be a modal verb. Place it in front of the blanket. He might have been scolded by his boss. So I'm in a bad mood. Fifth, other components of the "bei" construction Usually, a particle is added. and resultative complements Because the "bei" construction expresses It is usually something that has already happened. So, using the past tense For example, I was woken up by a phone call. I was woken up by a phone call. Their class has been praised by their teacher. The "bei" construction can also be followed by Complement of result What happened to it? His illness was cured by the doctor. They made a mess in the kitchen. Finally, let's take a look at The other two words that can express passivity are, Call and let. Call and let are the same as being. It can be used in the passive voice. People will more often use these two words Used in spoken language. In more formal settings Usually not used. For example, all the luggage got soaked by the rain. Or, all the luggage got soaked by the rain. Both of these expressions are commonly used in spoken language. Same as "being" or "being subjected to." However, one difference from being different The whisper can be omitted. The whispers of "call" and "let" cannot be omitted. So we generally don't say All the luggage got soaked. Or the luggage got soaked as well. Alright, that concludes the explanation of the "bei" construction. Hope to achieve through today's study You can learn how to use the "bei" construction.
