Language Points |
The adverb yě function as
an adverbial modifier before the verb. Unlike their
English equivalents, |
Chinese adverbs are always placed before a verb.
E.g."我也很好 wǒ yě hěn hǎo”, “我们都是服 |
务员wǒ men dōu shì fú wù yuán", As an adverbial
modifier both yě and dōu are followed by
a verb. |

Handshaking |
Customarily Chinese friends, colleagues and
acquaintances shake hands with one another when they |
first meet or reunite after long years of
separation. Handshaking between men and women may be |
symbolically brief, but the initiative can be taken
by either side although male eagerness often
prevails. |
