How Formal Is It?
"会议持续了半个钟头。"
"我需要半小时准备。"
"再等我半个钟就好。"
"我们还有半个钟头玩。"
발음 가이드
- Don't forget the 'r' sound at the end of 'shí' (it's not 'shee').
- Make sure to pronounce the 'a' in 'bàn' like the 'a' in 'father', not like the 'a' in 'cat'.
암기하기
기억법
Think of '半' (bàn) as 'half' and '小时' (xiǎoshí) as 'small time' or 'hour.' So, 'half an hour' literally breaks down to 'half small time.'
시각적 연상
Imagine a clock face. '半' is like splitting the clock in half, and '小时' is the whole clock. So, half of the clock's 'small time' is half an hour.
