  2. 用于肯定回答

例句

  • 他是我的朋友。Tā (first tone, high and level) shì (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) péngyou. (second tone, rising)···

    He’s a friend of mine.

  • 这不是我的东西。這不是我的東西。Zhè (fourth tone, falling) bú (second tone, rising) shì (fourth tone, falling) wǒ (third tone, dipping) de (neutral tone) dōngxi. (first tone, high and level)···

常见错误

  • 不太对我是高兴。

    正确我很高兴。

    是 links two nouns. An adjective such as 高兴 is already the predicate, so it takes a degree adverb (很, 太, 不) and never 是.

  • 不太对今天是很热。

    正确今天很热。

    The same rule applies to weather and states: 热, 大, 小, 好 are all adjectives, so 是 must be dropped.
