远远
When used as an adverb, 远远 (yuǎnyuǎn) emphasizes a significant distance or a large disparity. It often appears before verbs like 超过 (chāoguò, to exceed), 领先 (lǐngxiān, to lead), or 落后 (luòhòu, to fall behind), highlighting how much one thing surpasses or lags behind another. For instance, 你远远超过了我的预期 (Nǐ yuǎnyuǎn chāoguò le wǒ de yùqī) means "You far exceeded my expectations." It can also describe physical distance, as in 他们的家离公司远远的 (Tāmen de jiā lí gōngsī yuǎnyuǎn de), meaning "Their home is very far from the company." Unlike just saying 很远 (hěn yuǎn, very far), 远远 adds a stronger sense of magnitude to the distance or difference. It implies not just 'far' but 'far, far away' or 'by a large margin'.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Let's talk about 远远 (yuǎnyuǎn). This is an important word you'll hear and use a lot in Chinese. Basically, it means 'far away' or 'distant'. It's an adverb, which means it usually describes a verb or an adjective, telling you how something is happening or how something is. Think of it as emphasizing 'how far'. It's not just 'far', but 'far, far away' or 'very far'.
You'll often see 远远 used to describe physical distance. For example, if you're talking about a mountain that's a long way off, or a city that's quite a commute, 远远 fits right in. It's common when comparing distances or emphasizing the extent of a distance.
- Definition
- far away; distant
Here's a straightforward example:
那个地方远远超出我的想象。
Translation hint: That place was far beyond my imagination.
In this case, 远远 is used to show that something is 'far beyond' or 'way beyond' expectations. It's not just a little bit beyond, but significantly so. This shows you that 远远 can also be used in more abstract ways, not just for physical distance. It can describe a difference in quality, quantity, or even a degree of something.
Another common use is when you want to say something is 'far better' or 'far worse' than something else. When you are making comparisons, 远远 adds a strong emphasis to the difference.
他的成绩比我远远好。
Translation hint: His grades are far better than mine.
Think of it as adding an extra layer of 'much' or 'very' to the distance or difference. It's a useful way to add emphasis. You wouldn't use it if the distance or difference was slight. It implies a noticeable or significant gap.
It's also often paired with verbs of seeing or looking, to describe something that is seen from a distance.
我远远地看到了一座山。
Translation hint: I saw a mountain far away.
In this case, the '地' (de) particle is often added after 远远 when it modifies a verb, to show it's acting as an adverb describing the manner of the action. This is a common grammatical pattern in Chinese, so keep an eye out for it. It's like saying 'distantly' or 'from afar' in English.
So, remember these key points about 远远:
- It emphasizes 'far away' or 'distant'.
- It can be used for physical distance.
- It can also describe abstract differences (e.g., 'far better', 'far beyond').
- It adds significant emphasis to comparisons.
- It often appears with '地' (de) when modifying verbs.
Mastering 远远 will help you express a stronger sense of distance and difference in your Chinese conversations. Pay attention to how native speakers use it, and try to incorporate it into your own sentences.
Alright, let's talk about 远远 (yuǎnyuǎn). This word is your go-to when you want to say something is 'far away' or 'distant' in Chinese. It's an A2 level adverb, so you'll hear and use it a lot. Forget fancy explanations; we're breaking down how this word actually works in real life.
§ The Basics: What 远远 Means
- DEFINITION
- Far away; distant. It emphasizes a significant distance.
§ Where You Actually Hear This Word — Work, School, News
This isn't just a textbook word. You'll encounter 远远 in everyday conversations, at school, in the workplace, and even in news reports. It's super versatile. Let's look at some practical scenarios.
- Talking about Locations: This is the most common use. If a place is a long way off, 远远 is perfect.
- Comparing Things: You can use it to say something is 'far superior' or 'far worse' than something else. It emphasizes a large difference.
- Figurative Distance: Sometimes, it's not about physical distance but a difference in quality, time, or status.
§ In Daily Life and Conversation
Imagine you're chatting with a friend about travel or directions:
我们住的地方离市中心远远的。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- The place we live is far away from the city center.
Or maybe you're talking about a store that's not close by:
那个超市远远没有这家方便。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- That supermarket is far less convenient than this one.
§ At Work and School
In a professional or academic setting, 远远 can be used to describe significant disparities or progress. For instance, in a meeting:
我们的销售目标离完成还远远不够。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- Our sales target is far from being met.
Or a teacher might say:
他的进步远远超出了我的预期。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- His progress far exceeded my expectations.
§ In the News and Formal Contexts
Even in news articles or more formal reports, 远远 appears when describing significant gaps or differences. For example:
这个国家的发展水平远远落后于发达国家。
- TRANSLATION HINT
- The development level of this country lags far behind that of developed countries.
Here, 远远 emphasizes a large gap in development.
§ Key Takeaways for 远远
To sum it up, 远远 is a straightforward and useful adverb.
- Use it when something is physically very far.
- Use it to highlight a big difference or disparity.
- It works in casual chats, formal discussions, and news.
Don't overthink it. When you want to stress 'far' or 'by a large margin,' 远远 is probably the word you need. Practice these examples, and you'll be using it naturally in no time.
§ Don't confuse 远远 with other distance words
When learning Chinese, it's easy to mix up words that seem similar. 远远 (yuǎnyuǎn) specifically means "far away" or "distant," often emphasizing a significant distance or a comparison. It's an adverb.
- What it means:
- far away; distant
However, some learners might confuse it with other words related to distance. Let's look at a common one:
远 (yuǎn): This is an adjective meaning "far." While related, 远远 is an adverb that modifies verbs or adjectives to emphasize "far away" or "by far."
我家很远。
Wǒ jiā hěn yuǎn.
My home is very far.
Here, 远 describes the house. If you said 我家远远, it wouldn't make sense because 远远 needs to modify an action or an adjective that can be intensified.
他们远远地看着我。
Tāmen yuǎnyuǎn de kànzhe wǒ.
They watched me from far away.
In this sentence, 远远 modifies the verb 看着 (kànzhe - watching), indicating how they were watching.
§ Incorrectly using 远远 without a verb or adjective to modify
As an adverb, 远远 needs to modify something. A common mistake is using it as a standalone adjective or in a context where it doesn't modify an action or a comparative adjective. Remember, 远远 means "far away" or "by far," implying it enhances or describes how far something is, or how much greater/smaller something is in comparison.
他的成绩远远好于我。
Tā de chéngjì yuǎnyuǎn hǎo yú wǒ.
His grades are far better than mine.
Here, 远远 modifies 好于 (hǎo yú - better than), emphasizing the significant difference.
§ Overusing 远远 for simple "far" statements
While 远远 means "far away," it carries a stronger emphasis than simply saying something is far. If you just want to state that something is a long distance, 远 (yuǎn) is often sufficient. Using 远远 might sound unnatural if the context doesn't require that extra emphasis.
学校离我家很远。
Xuéxiào lí wǒ jiā hěn yuǎn.
The school is very far from my home.
This sentence is perfectly natural. Using 远远 here (e.g., 学校离我家远远) would be grammatically incorrect because 远远 needs to modify a verb or a comparative adjective, not simply an adjective of distance.
Instead, consider situations where the distance is truly significant or when making a clear comparison.
我们的目标还远远没有达到。
Wǒmen de mùbiāo hái yuǎnyuǎn méiyǒu dádào.
Our goal is still far from being reached. (Literally: still far not reached.)
Here, 远远 modifies 达到 (dádào - reached), implying a significant distance from achieving the goal.

neutralسوالات متداول
10 سوالGreat question! While both mean 'far,' 远 (yuǎn) is an adjective, like 'far' in English. It describes how far something is. For example, '我家很远' (Wǒ jiā hěn yuǎn) means 'My home is very far.' 远远 (yuǎnyuǎn), on the other hand, is an adverb. It emphasizes the distance, making it sound even farther. Think of it like 'far, far away' or 'distant' in English. It often describes an action happening at a great distance, such as '远远地看到' (yuǎnyuǎn de kàndào) - 'to see from far away.' So, 远 describes *how far* something is, and 远远 describes *from how far* an action occurs, with added emphasis on the distance.
Not directly. 远远 is an adverb, so it modifies verbs or adjectives, not nouns. You can't say '远远的家' (yuǎnyuǎn de jiā) for 'a far house.' You would use 远的 (yuǎn de) as an adjective, like '远的家' (yuǎn de jiā). Remember, 远远 adds a sense of 'from a great distance' to an action.
Good observation! While 远远地 (yuǎnyuǎn de) is a very common structure, especially when modifying a verb to show how an action is performed, 远远 doesn't *always* need 地 (de). You'll often see it used directly before a verb, for instance, in '远远看' (yuǎnyuǎn kàn) meaning 'to look from afar.' The '地' emphasizes the adverbial nature, but its omission doesn't change the core meaning in many cases. It often depends on the nuance and flow of the sentence.
Absolutely! Here are a couple of very common ones:
1. 远远地看 (yuǎnyuǎn de kàn): To look from afar/to watch from a distance.
2. 远远地跑开 (yuǎnyuǎn de pǎo kāi): To run far away.
3. 远远地超过 (yuǎnyuǎn de chāoguò): To far exceed/to be far superior to.
These are great to memorize as they demonstrate common usage patterns.
That's a clever way to think about it! You can indeed use 远远 to emphasize a large difference in comparison. For example, '他的成绩远远超过了我' (Tā de chéngjì yuǎnyuǎn chāoguò le wǒ) means 'His grades far exceeded mine.' Here, 远远 emphasizes that the difference in grades is very significant. Another example: '这辆车远远比那辆贵' (Zhè liàng chē yuǎnyuǎn bǐ nà liàng guì) - 'This car is far more expensive than that one.'
That's an interesting thought! However, 远远 is primarily used for physical distance. For 'far in the past' or 'far in the future,' you would typically use other expressions. For example, '很久以前' (hěn jiǔ yǐqián) for 'a long time ago,' or '将来很远' (jiānglái hěn yuǎn) for 'the far future' (though this is less common). So, stick to physical distance with 远远.
远远 is quite neutral in terms of formality. You'll hear it in everyday conversations and see it in written texts. It's a standard, useful word that fits in many contexts. So, don't worry about sounding too formal or informal when you use it.
Yes, it absolutely can! When used in comparisons, 远远 often translates to 'by far' or 'far and away.' For instance, '他是班上最好的学生，远远超过其他人' (Tā shì bān shàng zuì hǎo de xuéshēng, yuǎnyuǎn chāoguò qítā rén) means 'He is the best student in the class, by far exceeding everyone else.' This usage is very common and effective for emphasizing a significant difference.
The best way to practice is to create your own sentences! Try to describe things you see that are far away, or actions that happen at a distance. For example:
1. 我远远地看到了我的朋友。(Wǒ yuǎnyuǎn de kàndào le wǒ de péngyǒu.) - I saw my friend from a distance.
2. 那个地方远远在山后面。(Nàgè dìfāng yuǎnyuǎn zài shān hòumiàn.) - That place is far, far behind the mountain.
3. 他们的技术远远领先我们。(Tāmen de jìshù yuǎnyuǎn lǐngxiān wǒmen.) - Their technology is far ahead of ours.
The more you try to use it in different contexts, the more natural it will become.
That's a very insightful question! While 远远 primarily denotes physical distance, depending on the context, it *can* subtly imply a sense of remoteness, separation, or even longing. For example, if someone says '我远远地看着他离开' (Wǒ yuǎnyuǎn de kànzhe tā líkāi), 'I watched him leave from afar,' it might suggest a feeling of sadness or inability to intervene. However, this emotional tone isn't inherent to 远远 itself; it comes from the overall situation and the surrounding words. In many cases, it's just a straightforward description of distance.
