@mandarininsights: Chinese direction words that confuse almost every learner: chū 出 (to exit / move out) and guò 过 (to pass / cross over) tell you the action. lái 来 (come) means the movement is toward the speaker or reference point. qù 去 (go) means the movement is away from the speaker or reference point. So: chū lái 出来 (come out) = exit toward here chū qù 出去 (go out) = exit away from here guò lái 过来 (come over) = go over toward here guò qù 过去 (go over) = go over away from here The key is not just the first verb. Look at lái 来 (come) or qù 去 (go) to understand the direction. #learnmandarin #chineselearning #mandarintips #learnchinese #chineselanguage
