Lesson 155– “东西, 不是东西” in Chinese

Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Last time we talked about “吃醋, 吃豆腐” in Chinese. Today, we will talk about “东西, 不是东西” in Chinese.

dōng xī

   东   西 (east, west / thing)

bù shì dōng xī

 不  是    东   西 (not a thing)

nǐ yào de dōng xī wǒ gěi nǐ dài guò lái le.

你  要  的     东   西 我   给 你  带    过  来了。

(I bring what you want.)

nà gè dōng xī shì shén me?

那  个    东   西  是    什    么？(What is that thing?)

nǐ zhēn bù shì dōng xī.

你    真   不  是    东    西。

(You are really bad. If one people A say this sentence to other people B, this means that this A people is  really mad at people B or A really hates B. Or A thinks that B is very annoying. )

So, when you use this “东西” to make sentence, please be sure that  you use it the right way.

Ok, that is all for today.

xiè  xiè!

 谢   谢 ! (Thanks!)

xià  cì  jiàn

 下  次  见!  (See you next time!)
