# The Tentative 一下儿
|
||
|
|
To express doing something "just a little bit", we can suffix the verb with the tentative marker 一下儿yíxiàr. E.g.:
|
||
|
|
1. 看一下儿 kàn yíxiàr - take a look
|
||
|
|
2. 用一下儿 yòng yíxiàr - use (it) a little/for a short while
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is often used to ask for permission to use an object, softening the request:
|
||
|
|
> 我用一下儿您的车，好吗？
|
||
|
|
> wǒ yòng yíxiàr nín de chē, hǎo ma?
|
||
|
|
> Is it okay if I use your car (for a bit)?
