Sometimes I Love this Language



There are still plenty of moments when this language drives me crazy, trying to remember "does the verb come before or after the time word, does the object come before or after the verb, and then where do you put the simple directional complement?" Then there are also times when just seems so simple. I have found that sometimes it helps me remember a word if I learn the individual meanings of the characters that make up the word. Like the examples below, see if you can guess what they mean.

1.



2.



3.



4. 



5. 




1. To carry your heart: to worry
2. To set free; release your heart: to be at ease
3. Bed head cabinet: night stand
4. Noisy clock: alarm clock
and my favorite
5. Zebra line: crosswalk
