<< review queue entry 64029 >> "當孝順的孫女" so it can be used with 的 as an adjective too ------------------------------- Editor: 1) We *already* have an adjectival gloss in the definition ("obedient to one's parents"). 2) "filially pious", though technically correct here, is an awkward expression. I want to avoid it. People often just say "filial" rather than "filially pious". Here's one of the examples I found: "Sometimes I can't help but wonder which of my five children will turn out to be the most filial." 3) I decided to rework the whole definition. 4) Regarding "to show filial piety towards (an older family member)": As a verb, 孝顺 can take a direct object. Some examples ~ a) 她一定會像對待自己的父母一樣孝順公婆。 she promised her husband that she would treat her in-laws with filial piety just as if they were her own parents b) 為什麼小孩子就應該孝順父母？ Why should children honor their fathers and mothers? |
