- <p>When you're getting descriptive, you may find yourself wanting
- to use multiple <a href="adjective" title="wikilink">adjectives</a>
- at a time. The character 又 (yòu) can be used to give two qualities
- to something. Using the double 又 (yòu) structure is like saying
- that something is "both… and…" in English.</p>
- <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
- <p>The structure in Chinese is:</p>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + 又 + Adj. 1 + 又 + Adj. 2</p>
- </div>
- <p>The two words shouldn't contrast in feeling. It is important to
- note they must both be bad or both be good.</p>
