第一百四十三天

[nnozomi]

语法
要 + noun for "want something". (Why are all the 要 meanings on one page when 了 is so spread out? First quarter of the page today, anyway)

词汇
喝, to drink, a nice straightforward verb (pinyin in tags)

Guardian:
你不知道，他们要的是我 you don't understand, it's me they want
沈老师，外面太阳大，喝口水吧 Professor Shen, it's so sunny out, have some water
你什么时候开始喝... since when do you drink?
(Interestingly, Shen Wei uses 喝 with 粥, congee, which I would have thought of as 吃. I guess it's soup in his mind? 药, medicine, seems to go with both 吃 (for pills) and 喝 (for medicinal tea etc.).)

Me:
我真要巧克力，但是会坚持。
你喝不喝热茶？

Aw, that's 1,000% more charming than what I imagined when you said discourse! *g*

I sometimes forget that discourse is such a weighted word now (oops). But yes, it was pretty charming.
