Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases

🤏

有點

yǒu diǎn

A little; somewhat

💬 [有點] often goes before an adjective to soften it: [有點吵], [有點累], [有點尷尬]. It often sounds slightly negative, more like "a bit" than a cheerful "a little."

🔊

chǎo

Noisy

💬 [吵] works as the whole description by itself: [這裡很吵], [樓上很吵]. You don't need [是] before it.

🔉🔊

有點吵

yǒu diǎn chǎo

A bit noisy

🇹🇼 This is a polite, low-pressure complaint about the environment, which works well if you want to suggest moving without sounding too direct. In a bar in Taiwan, blaming the noise usually lands more smoothly than making it about the other person.

kuài

Almost; nearly

💬 Before a verb phrase, [快] can mean "almost" or "about to," not "fast": [快聽不清楚了], [快到了]. It's a handy pattern for saying something is on the verge of happening.

🙉

聽不清楚

tīng bù qīng chǔ

Cannot hear clearly

➡️✅

le

Indicates a change or completion

💬 At the end of a sentence, [了] often marks a new situation, not just past tense: [太大聲了] means "it's become too loud / is too loud now." You'll hear it a lot with changing conditions like [下雨了] or [我累了].

👂🤏

快聽不清楚了

kuài tīng bù qīng chǔ le

I can barely hear clearly

💬 [快] + verb phrase + [了] is a common way to say something is almost happening: [快聽不清楚了], [快遲到了], [快忘了]. It gives a stronger "on the edge of" feeling than just [有點].

👂

tīng

To listen; to hear

See breakdown →
🗣️

你說話

nǐ shuō huà
