Sep 7	comment	Is 我很对不起你 a unique sentence structure? Perhaps it is not clear to you that 对不起 is a potential complement and hence naturally a verb?
Sep 7	comment	Authoritative source for 一 changing to 4th tone before 1st, 2nd or 3rd -1: This is stated in essentially every authoritative source about Chinese phonetics.

May 22	comment	How can I translate “精神需要”? 精神 is often applied to things which we don't consider "spiritual" in English. Often 精神 means "spiritual" in opposition to materialistic, practical, etc. So interpersonal relationships are a "spiritual need" because they're not economic/material/etc.

May 17	comment	Pronunciation of 那个 @Cocowalla: but when it's pronounced nàr, it's written 那儿, no? I can't remember a time when I heard someone read the characters 那里 as nàr.
