#很 #都 #很 #adverb #order

|
|
||
|
The three adverbs 很hěn, 也yě, 都dōu always appear after a subject, but they also have a specified order amongst themselves:
|
||
|
1. 也 yě
|
||
|
2. 都 dōu
|
||
|
3. 很 hěn
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example:
|
||
|
1. 你很好
|
||
|
1. 我也很好
|
||
|
2. 我们都很好
|
||
|
3. 他们也都很好
|
||
|
2. 我买书
|
||
|
1. 你也买书
|
||
|
2. 我们都买书
|
||
|
3. 他们也都买书
|
||
|
|
||
|
> [!warning] 都dōu never precedes 也yě

# Negation #不
|
||
|
|
||
|
Negation is more complex; 不bù before or after the adverb has a clear distinction in meaning. E.g.
|
||
|
1. 不 + 很 = not very, 很 + 不 = very not
|
||
|
1. 他不很忙
|
||
|
tā bù hěn máng
|
||
|
He is not too busy
|
||
|
2. 他很不忙
|
||
|
tā hěn bù máng
|
||
|
He is not busy at all
|
||
|
2. 不 + 都 = not all (ie. some), 都 + 不 = all not (ie. none)
|
||
|
1. 他们不都是学生
|
||
|
tāmen bù dōu shì xuésheng
|
||
|
They aren't all students
|
||
|
2. 他们都不是学生
|
||
|
tāmen dōu bù shì xuésheng
|
||
|
They're all not students
|
||
|
|
||
|
> [!warning] 也yě **always** precedes 不bù
