The basic unit is the Chinese character.

Character is not a word - a concept.

Many words in Chinese consist of one of the character. This basic words preserved in the language since ancient times.

Some words formed from two or more characters.

Character has no morphological characters. That is, the character itself is neither a noun nor an adjective, verbs, participles, etc.

Morphological features of the character shown only in context. Only in a sentence or phrase, you can tell what part of speech, in this case, playing each character and how it forms a word by itself or with neighboring characters.

The same character can be used as both a noun and as an adjective and as a verb and as a pretext in different contexts and formative combinations. For example, the character 好 hao bears the meaning of "good", "good." In conjunction with the character 爱 ai (love), gives expression 爱好 «hobby", "hobby". In conjunction with the character 人 ren (people), gives expression 好人 «a good man." In conjunction with the character 学 xue (study) gives an expression 好学 «love to learn" or "easy to learn," depending on the context. In conjunction with the character 冷 leng (cold), gives expression 好冷 «how cold!" Etc.

Nouns and adjectives are not separated by gender are not changed by numbers that are not declined for case. To express the kind and number of used context and clarifying characters. For example, "book" in the sense of "many books" in the phrase "There are books in the library," expressed a character for "book" in a literal translation of the phrase "+ library + be + book." In another context, a value of "several books", expressed three characters "some spine + + book." "Work" is expressed by three characters "man + work + man." "Worker" is expressed three characters "woman + work + man."

Nouns used as the subject, the circumstances and determine the add-on.

There are counting words that are often used before countable nouns when specifying their number. Different counting words are used with different classes of objects. Division into classes occurred in appearance of objects or traditions. For example, for flat objects uses the character "sheet." Therefore, the expression "two tables" transmitted characters "+ sheet + two table."

Verbs do not change the number and leave, do not conjugate and do not change over time. Temporary values ​​are transferred from context or official characters. For example, "yesterday I went to the University" is transmitted characters "I +" last day + "+ go +" big + learn '. "Where is the "big + learn" - a word which means "university". There is a time value is transmitted in the context of the word "yesterday". The phrase "she jumped" transmitted through official verb significant here, "an act in the past," that is, "she + jump + verb service."

All voices, and moods are expressed through official characters. For example the imperative to "eat" is expressed through the "eat + imperative official word."

In Chinese, there are a large number of verbal tangles, consisting of several characters, and expressing the possibility or impossibility, or intention, or need an action. In Chinese, there are a large number of verbal tangles, consisting of several characters, and expressing the direction of action.

In Chinese, there is no suffix, endings, prefixes, etc.

Writing does not change the character of what part of speech it appears in a given context.

Syntax Chinese governed by strict rules dictating the order of words in a sentence.

It is the mutual arrangement of all characters in the proposal and determines in each case: a) what part of speech each of the characters acts b) which of its values, each of them expresses itself or in conjunction with neighboring preformative characters.
