Grammar Points
语法还没有 + Verb
This pattern means 'still haven't (done something)'. 还 (hái) means 'still' and 没有 means 'haven't'. It emphasizes that an expected action has not yet happened.
还没有大。(It still hasn't grown big.)
作业还没有做。(The homework still hasn't been done.)
小明还没有吃饭。(Xiao Ming still hasn't eaten.)
太 + Adjective + 了
This pattern means 'too [adjective]'. 太 (tài) means 'too much' and 了 at the end emphasizes the degree. It often implies a negative result.
小明的大脑太小了。(Xiao Ming's brain is too small.)
太多了。(That's too much.)
衣服太好看了。(The clothes are too good-looking.)
Verb + 一 + Verb (想一想, 看一看)
Verb reduplication with 一 in the middle means 'do [verb] a little' or 'give it a try'. 想一想 means 'think about it for a moment'. This softens the action and makes it casual.
小明想一想。(Xiao Ming thinks it over.)
我们看一看。(Let's take a look.)
你要想一想再做。(You should think it over before doing it.)
要不要 / 有没有
Affirmative-negative questions. Instead of using 吗 at the end, you put the positive and negative forms together. This is a very common question pattern in Chinese.
要不要买？(Should you buy it or not?)
有没有钱？(Do you have money or not?)
