In this episode of Little Mandarin, learn to say you’re tired, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, busy, or not feeling well. We’ll practise two everyday patterns — 我很… and 我有点儿… — and the difference between 累 (tired) and 困 (sleepy). 我今天很累。— I’m tired today. 我有点儿饿。— I’m a little hungry. 我很困。— I’m sleepy. 我今天有点儿不舒服。— I’m not feeling very well today. 我想休息。— I want to rest. With listen-and-repeat practice and translation exercises in both directions, you’ll learn to say how you feel and what you need in a few short Mandarin sentences.

The key structure is: Subject + Verb + 了 + Object In English, the past is often built into the verb form. In Mandarin, the verb itself stays the same, so today we focus on the sentence pattern instead. You’ll learn sentences like: 我吃了饭。 I ate / I had a meal. 我喝了咖啡。 I drank coffee. 我买了东西。 I bought something. 我看了电影。 I watched a movie. We’ll also use 已经, meaning “already,” to say: 我已经吃了饭。 I already ate. There are other uses of 了, but in this episode we only focus on one beginner-friendly rule: put 了 right after the verb to show that the action happened.
