属于

shǔ yú

The Chinese word '属于' is used in situations where you want to express ownership or affiliation. It is used just like 'belong' in English, to denote that something is part of something bigger. For instance, '这个包属于我' means 'This bag belongs to me.'

Here's how to use it:

• 那套房子并不属于你。
  Nà tào fángzi bìng bù shǔyú nǐ.
• 这只狗属于那个孩子。
  Zhè zhǐ gǒu shǔyú nàgè háizi.
• 这件作品属于现代艺术。
  Zhè jiàn zuòpǐn shǔyú xiàndài yìshù.

舒适

shū shì

The Chinese word '舒适' would be used similarly to how 'comfortable' is used in English. It can be used to describe a variety of things, such as clothes, furniture, or even the atmosphere. In any context where you can describe something as 'comfortable' in English, '舒适' would be an appropriate word to use in Chinese.

Here's how to use it:

• 这所房子非常舒适。
  Zhè suǒ fángzi fēicháng shūshì.
• 你希望工作环境舒适。
  nǐ xīwàng gōngzuò huánjìng shūshì.
• 他们住在一个舒适的公寓。
  tāmen zhù zài yīgè shūshì de gōngyù.

奋斗

fèn dòu

The Chinese word '奋斗' is used much the same way as 'struggle' in English. It can refer to a strenuous effort to overcome a difficulty or achieving a goal. It's often used in a positive context to express determination, perseverance and hard work.

Here's how to use it:

• 他的整个人生都在奋斗。
  Tā de zhěnggè rénshēng dōu zài fèndòu.
• 奋斗会给我们带来改变。
  Fèndòu huì gěi wǒmen dài lái gǎibiàn.

赶快

gǎn kuài

The Chinese word '赶快' is often used in contexts where a sense of urgency is needed. It can be used to encourage someone to hasten their actions or to express a need for fast-paced movement or progress. Like its English counterpart 'hurry', '赶快' can be used as both a verb and an adverb in sentences.

Here's how to use it:

• 赶快做决定。
  gǎnkuài zuò juédìng
• 如果你想要去，你应该赶快告诉我。
  rúguǒ nǐ xiǎng yào qù, nǐ yīnggāi gǎnkuài gàosu wǒ
• 赶快预订。
  gǎnkuài yùdìng

高兴

gāo xìng

The Chinese word '高兴' is used similarly to the English word 'glad'. It expresses a state of happiness or pleasure. It is commonly used in daily conversations, and can be used in various situations to communicate positive emotional states. For example, you could say '我很高兴见到你' which translates to 'I'm glad to see you'.

Here's how to use it:

• 工作成功使我感到高兴。
  Gōngzuò chénggōng shǐ wǒ gǎndào gāoxìng.
• 我很高兴帮助你。
  Wǒ hěn gāoxìng bāngzhù nǐ.
