Aug. 25, 2011

Beginner Level 初级 (chūjí)

Translation:    

                  Nǐ juéde wǒ de xīn qúnzi zěnmeyàng?
      Wife:    你 觉得  我 的 新  裙  子 怎 么  样?
                 What do you think of my new dress?

                Bù zěnmeyàng.
Husband: 不 怎  么 样。
                It’s just so-so.

 Analysis:

A: “It’s very good,” is “非常好 (fēicháng hǎo)” in Chinese.
B: “It’s just so-so,” is “不怎么样 (bù zěnmeyàng)” in Chinese.

The expression “不怎么样 (bù zěnmeyàng)” is frequently used in daily life to show one’s view about something. For example: 饭不怎么样 (fàn bù zěnmeyàng) The food is just so-so. Generally, a noun is placed in front of this phrase.
