In English, we say "a pair of pants," but in Mandarin, using ไธๅ (yฤซ shuฤng) for pants is a common mistake for learners! Today, weโre doing a very "daily" taskโlaundryโwhile I explain the logic behind Chinese measure words.
You'll learn why we use ไธๆก (yฤซ tiรกo) for long objects and why ไธๅ is reserved for things that come in sets of two. Letโs clean some clothes and clear up this grammar mystery together!
