How to Compare in Chinese with 比 & 没有 | Is Hot Water Really a Healing Drink? | HSK 2 In this episode, we focus on two essential grammar structures for making comparisons in Chinese: 比 (bǐ) and 没有 (méiyǒu). You’ll learn how to say things like “This book is more interesting than that one” or “He’s not as tall as his brother” — all using simple, clear sentence patterns that native speakers use every day.

Then, we explore a fascinating cultural question: Why do Chinese people drink hot water so often? Is it really considered healing? We dive into this everyday habit, its roots in traditional medicine, and how it’s still part of modern life across China.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How to use 比 (bǐ) to say something is "more than".
✅ How to use 没有 (méiyǒu) to say something is "less than" or "not as..."
✅ Common sentence patterns for comparisons in daily life.
