Grammar Focus
Today we learn essential phrases for showing care and concern when someone gets hurt. These expressions combine immediate help with emotional support, which is deeply valued in Chinese culture.
你怎么了? (nǐ zěn me le?)
This is the first thing you say when someone looks hurt or upset. It means "What's wrong?" or "What happened?" and shows immediate care and concern.
我 + [action verb] + 你
• 我帮你 (wǒ bāng nǐ) - I help you
• 我给你买药 (wǒ gěi nǐ mǎi yào) - I buy medicine for you
• 我给你打电话 (wǒ gěi nǐ dǎ diàn huà) - I call for you
The pattern 疼不疼? is perfect for asking about pain levels:
• 疼不疼? - Does it hurt?
• 好不好? - Is it okay/good?
This structure shows caring concern while getting specific information.
• Immediate comfort: 别担心 (bié dān xīn) - Don't worry
• Future hope: 会好的 (huì hǎo de) - It will get better
• Emotional support: 你很勇敢 (nǐ hěn yǒng gǎn) - You are brave
Combining these phrases shows both immediate care and long-term emotional support, which is highly valued in Chinese culture. The progression from concern → help → comfort reflects traditional Chinese values of comprehensive care.
