Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
你掉了
nǐ diào le
You dropped
💬 [掉了] is a very common pattern: verb + [了] often means the action has already happened, like [忘了] "forgot" or [丢了] "lost."
See breakdown →一点东西。
yì diǎn dōng xī
A little something.
💬 [一点] means "a little" or "some," and with [东西] it often just means "something" in a vague way. You can reuse it with other nouns too, like [一点水] "a little water."
See breakdown →你掉了一点东西。
nǐ diào le yì diǎn dōng xī
You dropped something.
这是
zhè shì

💬 [这] means "this," and [是] means "is," so [这是...] is a very reusable opener: [这是我的朋友] "This is my friend," [这是我的手机] "This is my phone."
See breakdown →我的心。

My heart.
这是我的心。
zhè shì wǒ de xīn

shì shén me
Is what?
💬 [是什么] is the common way to ask "what is...?" after a topic: [你叫什么名字?] is more natural for asking someone's name, but [这是什么?] "What is this?" uses the same pattern.
