German and Chinese - similar syntax? trennbare Verben
Well, I just started my trip in the Chinese language and with surprise I noticed that in a certain way Chinese syntax is similar to the German one.
Example:
How long did you sleep last night?
zuotian wanshang ni shui duo chang shijian jiao?昨天晚上你睡多长时间觉?
shuijiao means sleep and it will be separated (shui-jiao) if used with the indication of time.
Yesterday evening I slept two hours.
zuotian wanshang wo shui liang ge xiaoshi jiao.
昨天晚上我睡两个小时觉。
