#常 #adverb
The adverb 常cháng and it's reduplicated form 常常chángcháng always come after the subject in a sentence:
1. 我朋友(常/常常)来看我。
wǒ péngyou (cháng/chángcháng) lái kàn wǒ
My friend often comes to see me.
>[!warning] Adverb Order #order
>Adverb ordering with 常 should be: 也 》都 》常
# Negation #不
When the sentence is negated, only the monosyllabic form 常cháng is used.
The ordering of 不 and 常 changes the meaning:
- 不常
bù cháng
not often
(commonly used)
- 常不
cháng bù
often not
(only really used in idiomatic expressions)
