<< review queue entry 42160 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> Editor: The entry for 知道了 was added because the current definition of 知道 makes it sound like (1) an ongoing, long-term state of mind, whereas 知道 can actually be (2) something that occurs in a split second Compare the following two examples ~ 1) A 等等，大衣扣好。 B 知道了，不用你说。 A 裤子拉链没拉。 B 噢。 ("to know; be aware of" is fine for this one) 2) A 不要喝自来水！ B 怎么了？ A 不卫生。 B 我知道了。谢谢。 (I think it would be helpful to have a definition that includes "to become aware" or "to find out" for this sort of usage.) |
