<< review queue entry 76533 - submitted by 'ivanktw3' >> TOCFL wordlist (level 5) and Course in Contemporary Chinese (dangdai), book 6 lesson 4 give this as a variant of 似的: "似地 [sìde] Ptc as if, like" https://cwn.ling.sinica.edu.tw/_process.asp?inputword=%A6%FC%A6a&radiobutton=1 -------------------- Editor: 1. That sinica.edu.tw link doesn't work for me. 2. I don't think 似地 is a (full) variant of 似的, and the bit you quoted doesn't mention 似的. 3. 似地 is used to form an *adverbial* phrase before a verb. E.g., - 她泥菩萨似地坐着一动也不动。 (adv. 泥菩萨似地 + verb 坐着) - 梳在一旁的灰发，直直地垂落下来，像穗子似地挂在有老人斑的光头四周。 (adv. 像穗子似地 + verb 挂) I don't think it can be used at the *end* of an utterance, with no verb following it, the way 似的 is used: - 「好像不要錢似的，」 - 接著狼吞虎嚥吃完後又是一哄而散，好像他根本不存在似的。 That's why they distinguish 男孩似的 and 男孩似地 here: 男孩似的 boyish 男孩似地 boyishly https://dictionary.cambridge.org/zhs/%E8%AF%8D%E5%85%B8/%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD-%E7%AE%80%E4%BD%93-%E8%8B%B1%E8%AF%AD/%E7%94%B7%E5%AD%A9 More examples of {(X + 似地) + verb}: - 柴田警察班長將身軀用粗繩捆縛，從山上如吊瓶似地降落，... - 如滿天繁星似地開放在錦繡大地上， - 沒想到竟然奇蹟似地康復了。 - 台灣北部大屯系火山瘋狂似地劇烈爆發， - 這句話像針似地刺向李淳陽： - 像牽狗似地拉她出門。 - 9個月後更奇蹟似地戒除了毒癮。 - 整天像猴子似地在爸爸身上爬來爬去； |
