Description

In this episode, we explore the versatile phrase 什么都 (shénme dōu), which means “anything” or “everything”. It’s perfect for expressing unlimited choices or total flexibility in Mandarin. You’ll learn how to use 什么都 in both positive and negative sentences, with plenty of practical examples you can apply right away.


We also dive into an important cultural topic: living with parents in China. Unlike in many Western countries, it’s common for children to live with their parents until marriage. This tradition highlights the importance of family bonds, care for elders, and respect for shared responsibilities at home.
