Measure words! I feel like we should take a few days over these just because there are so many, but let’s see how it goes.

・Following up on Zhu Yilong’s pronunciation of 聊天儿，照片儿，上班儿 etc., I made Yu-jie listen to bits of his livestream, and she laughed and said “yup, that’s a Beijing 儿化 all right!” At some point I’ll have to watch his 武汉话 movies and see how different he sounds...

Every time I think I get a handle on measure words I realize I don't. I keep trying though.

Measure words!

Possibly useful: Wikipedia's list of Chinese measure words, with usage notes. (Incomplete, I guess, because it doesn't mention 峰 for camels!)

(Is it weird that I love measure words? Not to say I'm good at guessing which one to use in any given situation, but just, as a concept they're so cool.)

Good luck on the test! :D

Oh oh oh, that explicated something about mass nouns vs other nouns that I hadn't consciously thought about in relation to classifiers before, nice.

At some point I’ll have to watch his 武汉话 movies and see how different he sounds...

I haven't seen the funeral film yet, but he definitely sounds very different in Embrace Again - my listening comprehension is still not great, but even I could hear a lot of differences, it was very fun.

I don't have a problem with measure words in theory - I like them, and they're useful/necessary what with all the homophones and near-homophones - but I still can't remember most of them. /o\

Good luck for the HSK!
