工作是工作，生活是生活。

When to use Separating Issues with X是X, Y是Y

Read X 是 X, Y 是 Y as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 是 adds to it.

朋友是朋友，工作是工作。

Friends are friends, work is work.

说是说，做是做。

Talking is talking, doing is doing.

Common traps

  • Do not translate X 是 X, Y 是 Y mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 是 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
