了解 (liǎojiě) and 理解 (lǐjiě)

The Chinese words "了解" (liǎojiě) and "理解" (lǐjiě) both relate to understanding, but they have distinct nuances and are used in different contexts.

The image contrasts two people: one casually browsing through books in a library (symbolizing "了解" or gaining superficial knowledge) and another deeply engrossed in studying a complex diagram (symbolizing "理解" or deep understanding). The environments and body language reflect the casual versus intense nature of these concepts.

了解 (liǎojiě)

"了解" primarily means to "know about" or "get to know." It focuses more on gathering information and having knowledge about something rather than deeply comprehending or empathizing with it. It is often used when talking about acquiring factual information, learning someone's situation, or knowing how something works at a surface or practical level.

Examples of 了解:

我想了解这个问题的背景。

(I want to understand the background of this issue.)

你了解他的想法吗？

(Do you know his thoughts?)

我们需要更多了解客户的需求。

(We need to know more about the customers' needs.)

理解 (lǐjiě)

"理解," on the other hand, implies a deeper level of understanding, often involving comprehension of the reasons behind something or empathy with someone's feelings. It's about grasping the underlying principles, motives, or emotional states, rather than just the superficial details.

Examples of 理解:

我完全理解你的感受。

(I completely understand your feelings.)

这个理论很难理解。

(This theory is difficult to understand.)

她的行为现在我可以理解了。

(I can understand her behavior now.)

In summary, while "了解" is more about acquiring information or knowledge about something, "理解" goes deeper into understanding the meaning, reasons, or emotions behind it.

The picture visually represents the concepts "了解" and "理解" through a scene divided into two parts: on the left, a person casually reading a travel magazine in a cozy living room (了解), and on the right, another person deeply engaged in analyzing a complex physics equation in a scientific study environment (理解). This illustrates the contrast in depth of engagement. Please check if you can see the image now.

还" (hái) is an adverb

 The Chinese word "还" (hái) is an adverb，which often conveys meanings related to "still," "also,"  or "moreover."  For example, 

Expressing 'also' or 'too':

我也想去，我妹妹还想去。 (Wǒ yě xiǎng qù, wǒ mèimei hái xiǎng qù.) - I want to go, and my sister also wants to go.

他会说英语，还会说法语。 (Tā huì shuō Yīngyǔ, hái huì shuō Fǎyǔ.) - He can speak English and also French.

Expressing 'still' or 'yet':

他还没来。 (Tā hái méi lái.) - He hasn't come yet.

我们还在学校。 (Wǒmen hái zài xuéxiào.) - We are still at school.

还 is an adeverb， so you can not put it before a noun or a subject of the sentence.  

你可以吃中国菜，还你可以吃美国菜。❌

You can use Subj. + modal verb + verb phrase, 还 + modal verb + verb phrase. For example, 

你可以吃中国菜，还可以吃美国菜。

It's more natural to use modal verb in a sentence, to provide additional information about the verb they accompany. They help to express modalities—such as ability, possibility, necessity, or obligation—each adding a layer of meaning that specifies the mood or attitude of the speaker toward the action of the verb.

有的 vs 一些

 一些 =  "some" or "a few"

我买了一些吃的。

有的  = some (part of a larger whole)

To refer to just certain members of group, you can use 有的 (yǒude). This usage is normally translated as "some" in English. It is often used multiple times in one sentence to refer to different groups.

又 vs 再

又 is used in declarative sentences and describes the simple repetition of actions. This repeated action has already occurred once in the past.

S 又VO了

北京昨天下雨了，今天早上又下雨了。

再 is used to express something that has already happened and will happen again.

（S） (想/要)再 v # mw + noun

早上我喝了三杯咖啡，现在我想再喝一杯咖啡。

（S） (想/要)再 v # 次

我去年去了中国，今天寒假我想再去一次。

However, when there is 要，想，or 是，you should only use 又。

Subj. + 又 + 要/想/是 Verb + Obj.

昨天考试了，明天我们又要考试。

早上我喝了三杯咖啡，现在我又想喝一杯。

怎么又是你？(How come it's you again!)

昨天我背（bèi，to recite）课文，今天又是我背课文。
