How to Say ‘Is changing very fast’ in Simplified Chinese
跳得很快
tiào dé hěn kuài
[tyaow duh huhn kwye]
💬 Usage Tip: [得] after a verb links it to how the action happens: [跳得很快] "jumping/changing quickly," [开得很快] "driving fast." Also, [很] here doesn't necessarily mean "very" strongly; it often just makes the description sound natural.
