Basic Topic-Comment Sentences

Use simple topic-fronting to sound more natural in beginner conversations.

Pattern

Topic + comment

Start with what you are talking about, then say something about it.

这个菜,我很喜欢。

When to use Basic Topic-Comment Sentences

Chinese often names the topic first, then gives a comment about it. The topic does not need to be the grammatical subject of the English translation.

那个人,我不认识。

That person, I do not know them.

这个菜很好吃。

This dish is tasty.

中文,我想学。

Chinese, I want to study it.

这本书,我没有看。

This book, I have not read it.

Common traps

  • Do not overuse topic-comment when a normal subject-verb sentence is clearer.
  • The topic should already be identifiable in context.
  • Avoid repeating the topic awkwardly inside the comment.

लक्षित अभ्यास

आगे बढ़ने से पहले ठीक इसी पैटर्न का अभ्यास करें।

菜,我很喜欢。
