Just That and Nothing More: 而已, 罢了
Someone has posted online that people who start learning Chinese as adults can never really master it. Write a reply post (200–400 characters) disagreeing. Play down their arguments with 而已 and 罢了, and press your own point with rhetorical questions.
- 不过是…而已 or 只是…罢了 to play something down
- 难道…吗 for a rhetorical challenge
- A literary rhetorical question: 岂不是, 何必 or 何尝
- A concrete example to back your view
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
