Le 了 Explained | 6 Usages You NEED to Know【Chinese Grammar】 Video
Hey hey, Rita aka Fàn lǎoshī here! Ready to use my 10-year Chinese teaching experience to help you master this almighty yet confusing Chinese particle – 了!
I’ve lost count of how many times I was asked about this word by Chinese learners at different levels! Being the arguably most difficult word in Mandarin Chinese, it definitely takes a while to get all of its uses in varied contexts and tones of voice.
More importantly, how do we use it correctly and properly? Nothing would be clearer than a collection of sentence structures with 了.
In this video, I’ll walk you through more than 6 usages of 了 that are linked to each other:
0:00 Intro
1:09 verb suffix
3:26 sentence-final 了
5:15 have (not) been doing
6:24 soon 了
7:34 modal particle
8:41 fixed structures
Leave your thoughts or any questions about Chinese learning that you have in the comments! They may be answered in my next video soon!
Btw your subscription, like and comment are HUGE support for original content like this video! The more my videos are promoted to Chinese learners by YouTube algorithm, the more motivated I will be to make content for you all! It means the world to me. 谢谢！
Remember, with Fàn lǎoshī, Chinese makes perfect sense!

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
