    10.1

    动词 + 什么 — challenging an action

    A verb followed by what什么shén me (often the same verb again) is a rhetorical, annoyed pushback — "what are you …ing for? / stop …ing!" With a separable verb, what什么shén me splits the two halves.

    構文gòu wén: Verb + 什么 + (same) Verb · Verb + 什么 + Object

    you你nǐcrying哭kūwhat for什么shén me哭kūit's not as if,又yòu不是bú shìthere's no没有méi yǒuyour你nǐ的degift礼物lǐ wù。

    What are you crying for? It's not as if there's no gift for you.

    divorce离líwhat什么shén me婚hūnyou!你们nǐ menonly才cáimarried结婚jié hūnthree months三个月sān ge yuè。

    Divorce?! You've only been married three months!

    Remember: V + what什么shén me (+ V) = an irritated "what are you …ing for?!" — to cry哭kūwhat什么shén meto cry哭kū ("quit crying!"), urgent急jíwhat什么shén me ("what's the rush?!"). Separable verbs split around it: away from离líwhat什么shén meto marry婚hūn, road道dàowhat什么shén meto apologize歉qiàn.

    Watch out

    • It's blunt and familiar — fine between close friends/family, rude to strangers.
    10.2

    不像 … 这么 / 那么 … — "not as … as"

    to resemble像xiàng means "(just) like"; 不像bù xiàng + B + so much这么zhè me / like that那么nà me + Adj says A falls short of B on some quality — "not as … as B."

    構文gòu wén: Noun 1 + 像 + Noun 2 + 一样 + Adj · Noun 1 + 不像 + Noun 2 + 这么 / 那么 + Adj

    she她tāsometimes有时候yǒu shí houlike像xiànga child小孩xiǎo háijust一样yí yàngnaive天真tiān zhēn。

    She's sometimes as naive as a child.

    today今天jīn tiānnot as … as不像bú xiàngyesterday昨天zuó tiānso那么nà mecold冷lěng。

    today今日jīn rìはyesterday昨日zuó rìほどcold寒hánくはない。

    Remember: to resemble像xiàng…same一样yī yàng = "just like"; 不像bù xiàng…like that那么nà me… = "not as … as." today今天jīn tiān不像bù xiàngyesterday昨天zuó tiānlike that那么nà mecold冷lěng ("today isn't as cold as yesterday"). The so much这么zhè me / like that那么nà me carries the degree being fallen short of.

    Watch out

    • It's a near-twin of the not have / haven't没有méi yǒu…like that那么nà me… comparison (HSK 3) — both say "falls short of."
    10.3

    比起 + B (+ 来) ,A ~ — "compared with B, A …"

    compared with比起bǐ qǐ … (to come来lái) opens a comparison frame — "compared with B, A is …." It puts B forward as the yardstick. A variant is (with / and跟gēn / and / with和hé / and / with与yǔ) B to compare相比xiāng bǐ.

    構文gòu wén: 比起 + B (+ 来) ,A + Comment · (与) B 相比 ,A ~

    compared with比起bǐ qǐShanghai上海Shàng hǎimy,我wǒhometown老家lǎo jiā的deprices物价wù jiàcheaper便宜pián yimuch多duō了le。

    Compared with Shanghai, my hometown's prices are much cheaper.

    compared with与yǔonline网络wǎng luòteaching教学jiào xué相比xiāng bǐI,我wǒ更gèngprefer喜欢xǐ huanface-to-face面对面miàn duì miàn。

    Compared with online teaching, I prefer face-to-face.

    Remember: compared with比起bǐ qǐ B (to come来lái) / and / with与yǔ B to compare相比xiāng bǐ = "set against B, …" — it foregrounds the yardstick B, then delivers the verdict on A. The everyday cousin is with / and跟gēn…than / compared to比bǐ(after a verb) indicating…起来qǐ lái (HSK 3).

    Watch out

    • It frames the comparison; for a plain "A is more X than B," a bare than / compared to比bǐ (Athan / compared to比bǐB…) is enough.
    10.4

    不如 …… — "not as good as / better to"

    not equal to不如bù rú has two jobs: "A not equal to不如bù rú B (+ Adj)" = "A isn't as (good / …) as B"; and "(rather than...与其yǔ qí …,) not equal to不如bù rú …" = "(rather than …,) better to …." Drop the adjective and not equal to不如bù rú just means "not as good as."

    構文gòu wén: A + 不如 + B (+ Adj) · (与其 …,) 不如 …

    this这件zhè jiàndress裙子qún ziisn't as … as不如bù rúthat one那件nà jiànpretty好看hǎo kàn。

    This dress isn't as pretty as that one.

    rather than与其yǔ qídaydream空想kōng xiǎngbetter to,不如bù rúright away马上mǎ shàngact行动xíng dòng。

    Rather than daydreaming, better to act right away.

    Remember: not equal to不如bù rú = "falls short of / better to." Anot equal to不如bù rúB = "A isn't as good as B" (I / me我wǒnot equal to不如bù rúhe / him他tā, "I'm no match for him"); rather than...与其yǔ qí…not equal to不如bù rú… = "rather than…, better to…". With no adjective, it's plain "inferior to."

    Watch out

    • rather than...与其yǔ qí sets up the rejected option, not equal to不如bù rú the preferred one — keep that order.
    10.5
