Ever wondered how to say \”He is swimming\” in Chinese? It’s as simple as \”他在游泳\” (tā zài yóuyǒng)! Let’s break it down so you can not only say it but also understand how Chinese works in a fun and easy way.
First, the phrase \”他在游泳\” is made up of three parts: \”他\” (tā) means \”he,\” \”在\” (zài) is a handy word showing an action is happening right now (like \”-ing\” in English), and \”游泳\” (yóuyǒng) means \”to swim.\” Put it together, and voilà—you’ve got \”He is swimming\”!
Now, how do you remember this without feeling like you’re memorizing a textbook? Here’s a trick: imagine your friend \”Tā\” (he) is at the pool, and you shout, \”Hey, Tā! Zài doing what?\” And he yells back, \”Yóuyǒng!\” (Swimming!). Silly? Maybe. Memorable? Absolutely!
Learning Chinese doesn’t have to be hard. Start with short sentences like this, listen to Chinese songs (you’ll hear \”在\” a lot!), or label things around your house with sticky notes. Before you know it, you’ll be chatting about swimming, eating, or even napping—all in Chinese! So next time you see someone in the pool, impress them by saying, \”看！他在游泳！\” (Look! He’s swimming!). Now go dive into some fun practice!
