@hskuniversity: 别 vs 不要: both mean don't. 别 bié is the quick everyday one (别担心,我会照顾好自己, don't worry, I will take good care of myself). 不要 búyào is the firmer one (医生说吃药后两个小时不要喝茶, the doctor said not to drink tea for two hours after taking medicine). Chinese grammar explained calmly. Save this 📌 #learnchinese #chinesegrammar #hsk #mandarin
