HOW TO TALK ABOUT DIETARY PREFERENCES
第七课：生词
Adverb 多/少 (duō/shǎo) + V
In Chinese class, one should speak more Chinese and less English.
This “多/少 (duō/shǎo) + verb” construction can sometimes denote a deviation from the correct amount or number.
The teacher told us to write fifty characters. I wrote forty-five. I was five short.�
Use this structure for adding or subtracting condiments:
"sub + 多/少 + 放 + ingredient [noun]"
If don't want to add that flavor at all, you can say "别 + 放 + noun" or "不 + 放 + noun"
NOTE: ingredients are nouns, NOT adjectives/flavors (i.e. "add salt"=放盐)
多＋放＋ingredient＝add more [ingredient]
少＋放＋ingredient＝add less [ingredient]
别＋放＋ingredient＝don't add [ingredient]
to put; to place
多／少
salt
monosodium glutamate (MSG)
meat
vegetarian; made from vegetables
语法：
--爸爸告诉妈妈做菜的时候少放盐, 多放点儿味精 = Dad told mom when making food to put less salt, put more MSG
--我吃素，少放点儿肉。I eat vegetarian, put less meat
--别放味精 = Don’t put MSG
+
sub + 多/少/别 + 放 + noun
Situation A: person freaked out by MSG, loves salt. What does she say?
Situation B: person freaked out by vegetables, loves meat. What does she say?
+
Mini-Debate: 味精
少放还是多放味精？为什么？

Resultative Complements
A "result complement" is a complement that's used to describe or clarify the result of a verb's action.�� > VERB + RESULT COMPLEMENT�� Remember: a complement is a word or phrase following a verb (or sometimes an adjective) that provides additional meaning to the verb phrase. There are many different types of complements. Complements can describe duration, quantity, state, degree, result, direction, or possibility.
In English, we have separate verbs to describe actions depending on their outcome. You can look, but not see, or listen, but not hear. In Chinese, verbs tend to be of the 'look' and 'listen' variety - the result isn't included like it is in 'see' and 'hear'. So if you want to indicate the result, you have to use a result complement.
There are endless examples of these 'attempt' or 'procedure' verbs in Chinese which don't include an outcome. The majority of Chinese verbs are like this, in fact. For example: ��> 看 means 'to look' but doesn't include the result 'to see'.�> 听 means 'to listen' but doesn't include 'to hear'.�> 写 is similar to the English verb 'to write', in that it doesn't specify what the result of writing was (e.g. whether it was correct or not).�� All of these verbs need a result complement to describe a complete action with its result.
Result Complements “见” and “到”
[Click the picture for more details:]
“Sub + Verb + 到 + Obj”
What 到 (dào) does is indicate that the outcome of the verb is achieved - what its result is. Without a result complement, the sentence would describe only the action itself.
To illustrate, 看 (kàn) "to look" is the action of turning your head in a particular direction and focusing your eyes, whereas 看到 (kàn dào)," to see," is the result of your brain taking in the visual input.
It may sound a little hokey, but it really is possible to "look but not see," and Chinese makes a clear distinction between the action and the result.
“Sub + Verb + 到 / 见 + Obj”
Wrong
clear
[清楚 qīngchu, clear]
Generally, the negative form of a resultative complement is formed by placing 没 (méi, no, not) or 没有 (méiyǒu, have not) before the verb.
了 nearly always appears with result complements, as 了 marks completed actions, and as you'd expect a result complement is usually about a completed action.� 了 comes after the result complement, as the compound can't be separated. It behaves as a single verb, and can't be divided.

11: “The Furious Five”
HOW TO TALK ABOUT SOLD OUT ITEMS
第十一课：生词
just
刚 (gāng) vs. 刚才 (gāngcái)
My younger brother finished fifteen dumplings and two bowls of hot and sour soup a moment ago.
Although 刚 (gāng) and 刚才 (gāngcái) are similar in meaning, they are classified as different parts of speech and are therefore used differently.
Unlike 刚才 (gāngcái), 刚 (gāng) cannot be followed by the negation words 不 (bù) or 没 (méi).
A sentence that includes 刚才 (gāngcái) often ends with了 (le)
a sentence including 刚 (gāng) cannot have了 (le) at the end
