差不多 again, this time in front of an adjective for "about the same" or a time for "roughly" (second half of the page)
https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Approximations_with_%22chabuduo%22
词汇
半, half (also 半天，半年，一半）

Guardian:
脚印差不多就是这么大, the footprints are about the right size (?)
My practice:
虽然她只十一岁，但是我和她差不多高。我怎么这么矮呢。
火车会来差不多三点钟。（美国火车不准时）
我半天做这个工作，还没做完。

Date: 2022-03-21 02:10 pm (UTC)Good news for brain: after a moderate amount of picking mine up and shaking it, I now recall the existence of 令尊 / 令堂 as terms to respectfully address the other person's father / mother, which suggests similar 令～ constructions may exist for other family members too?
…………and now I am also consciously noticing that 令 is rendering in (what I think of as) the Japanese character instead of the Chinese one with マ at the bottom……

Date: 2022-03-21 02:21 pm (UTC)I think it's fairly safe to assume 半夜 = around midnight (or more generally "ungodly late hours"), with the exception of maybe 前半夜 / 后半夜 for either half of the night. 半个晚上 also works for a non-specific half of the night.
(See also: the idiom 半夜三更, which is basically the same thing, but with More Flavour.)
