#7 Learn 又…又…| Why Food Delivery are CHEAP and FAST in China | HSK 3

from Chinese Learning Podcast | HSK 3 (Season 1) · host Trainlang / Hanyu

Master 又…又… Sentences + China’s Food Delivery & Online Shopping Wars | HSK 3 In today’s episode, we dive into the super versatile structure 又…又… (yòu… yòu…), which is used to describe two qualities at the same time, such as “both big and clean” or “both cheap and tasty.” We’ll also introduce a variation, 又…又不… to express contradictions — a must-know for natural conversations! In our cultural segment, we explore one of the most exciting aspects of modern Chinese life: food delivery (点外卖) and online shopping (网购). From the fierce competition between Meituan and Ele.me, to the rise of Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo, you’ll learn why delivery in China is cheaper and faster than almost anywhere else. Plus, we’ll compare China’s delivery scene with Taiwan, where services are often pricier due to higher platform and restaurant fees. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How to use 又…又… to describe two qualities at once ✅ How to use 又…又不… to show contradictions ✅ Practical examples from real-life situations you can use immediately ✅ Cultural insights: why Chinese food delivery apps are so cheap and competitive ✅ Fun comparison: the price gap between delivery in mainland China and Taiwan Fun Fact: Some Chinese food delivery promotions are so cheap that people joke it’s “cheaper than cooking at home!” Question for You: How would you say in Chinese: “He is both tall and handsome”? Write your answer in the comments and we’ll check it! Mini Challenge: Make your own sentence using 又…又… or 又…又不…. For example: 今天又冷又下雨。 (“Today is both cold and rainy.”) 他又想有钱,又不想工作。 (“He wants money but doesn’t want to work.”) At Hanyu Chinese School, we take pride in offering a unique approach to language learning.
