As the whirlwind romance that preceded Mary's honeymoon faded, it became increasing clear that her ill-fated marriage had thrust her into a conjugal death march. Yet despite her husband's passive aggressive hostility, Mary lived in the hope that sheer enthusiasm could somehow break through his frustrated silence, and so continued to ask after him and express an interest in his affairs, and all despite the fact that -- let's face it -- the man was an unremitting asshole.

So the husband threw the book on the floor, right? That's just what I assume.

@bretter23,We actually had him throw it at her in the studio, but he missed. Not sure if that was intentional or if he just had really bad aim. Likely the latter.

Even though he tosses the book onto the floor, she still thanks him, and even sounds sincere. I guess that's her way of dealing with his passive aggression -- to act like she doesn't notice :D

When the husband threw a book at the wife, that was not passive aggression.

@BDubsAnd that's the odd and fun part - guess she's okay with her husband being an asshole - she might be secretly enjoying it:) haha.

Does anyone know when the dictionary search will be up and running? I used to like putting in a word and finding dialogues that included that vocabulary. Normally I would have looked up the two questions I have below and listened to examples in the archives.Here they are: What is the difference between using 要 and using 准备 when I talk about intending to do something in the future? Is it a matter of degree?I have the same question with using 得 and 必须. If I am talking about something I must do, are these two about the same, or is 必须 a bit stronger?Thanks!

@LincolnDog,(1) the dictionary search is already up (just put words in the search bar on the main page), (2) the same difference between "I'm going" and "I'm getting ready" to do something in English, and (3) 必须 is much stronger and more formal.

Thanks for your help. I am using an ipad on safari. when I try to search the dictionary nothing comes up. If I pick an initial or a final I do get a list of characters. But if I try to get a definition, the following error message comes up. Is there anything I should be doing differently to access the dictionary?Not FoundError: The requested address '/dictionary/%E5%87%86' was not found on this server.- See more at: http://popupchinese.com/dictionary/%E5%87%86#sthash.0rqhhsp1.dpuf

Could you say 可以給我 instead of 能給我？

Is there any way to make the automated random quiz about characters' definitions only ask for pinyin and not the mixture of pinyin and English translations? I am usually able to identify the meaning when I can remember the pinyin and so the pinyin for the character is what I need drilling on. If I cannot identify the pinyin, there I cannot hope to answer the English translation.Oh, you guys have made me an auditory learner!!! I didn't even realize that. The best way to learn languages.By the way, I hope she divorces him soon.

@lauracdaniell,Two options. First would be adjusting the settings on the popup quiz so that it only tests you on pinyin/english. You can't make the secondary hint (that appears below the character) disappear however:http://popupchinese.com/account/reviewSecond option would be to go to your vocab page, select any lesson's vocabulary and opt to review it manually through the flashcard function. This gives more control: you'll only be shown the options you've selected as visible on your vocab lists:http://popupchinese.com/tools/vocabulary

I had wondered what the loud noise at the end meant, too, and the podcasters said nothing about it!! Like, this was a burning question for me, and I assumed it would be for other people as well!Like you mentioned, I first encountered 呢 when learning 你呢？ So I never knew about using 呢 to soften questions or ask about what happened to a noun. Very informative, thanks!

What is the meaning of 看看?(as opposed to one word 看 used by the husband in 2 different phrases)I am guessing 看看used in a question or request only, not in a simple statement
trevelyan
said on February 4, 2019
@qtnguyen99 -- it's colloquial shorthand for 看一看. The reduplication basically suggests that the action will be happening for a short while -- i.e. "take a look".
