Also it's still 第七天, so if you want to throw grammar to the winds and post something to relax with, that also works.

Guardian, in brief:
啊，幸运你给我喝了一杯咖啡，要不然我可真的要睡过去了... in hopes that the sleepy among us will have less dangerous coffee...

Also, as a 已经 example, have Zhu Yilong singing 后会无期。 Not to end the week on a sad note or anything, oh dear.

太感谢了！ 你的说明总是又清楚又有趣。If you do feel like making a proper post at some point that would be great (没压力）. Just rambling below, 别在乎 (?).
I feel like about half Zhao Yunlan's lines end in 啊! Very hard to translate effectively but it's such a flavor of his speech.

double negative (你难道还不知道我会心疼你吗？). But NOT with single negative 是不是, 有没有 etc.
Huh, I organize these into my head into "negative statement made into a question by adding 吗" and "negative-or-positive phrase already constituting a question word so 吗 isn't needed." 有几条negative。。。(also, 你难道还不知道我会心疼你吗, I continue to be impressed with how much straight-up romance they got away with...)

呢 in questions makes sense to me ("what about...?", and 沈巍呢？ is memorable enough, *sniff*). I have more trouble getting a sense of its use in statements. here's some information I'm presenting to you?

(Also now I finally understand that 叹 is 嘆, wow. Should have been obvious when thinking of 汉字 etc. but I hadn't made the connection)
