  <h2 id="unspoken-关于-with-verbs">Unspoken <span class="hanzist">关于</span> with Verbs</h2>

  <p>The word "about" often follows verbs in English, such as "talk about" or "ask about." In Chinese however, this "about" meaning is built into the verb and no additional "about" word is needed, much as we don't say "discuss about" in English.</p>

  <p>A few examples:</p>

  <div class="exemple">
    <ul>
      <li><span class="hanzi">我们 聊聊 你 的 新 工作 吧 。</span> <span class="pinyin">Wǒmen liáoliao nǐ de xīn gōngzuò ba.</span><br/><span> Let's talk about your new job.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">今天 开会 要 说说 公司 下 个 月 的 培训 。</span> <span class="pinyin">Jīntiān kāihuì yào shuōshuo gōngsī xià gè yuè de péixùn.</span><br/><span> Today, we need to hold a meeting about next month's company training.</span></li>
    </ul>
