To express something is unexpected, you can use the adverb 竟然 (jìngrán) after the subject. 竟然 has the same meaning as 居然, but is not as intense.
|
||||
|
||||
## Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Like many other adverbs, 竟然 is placed after the subject. This grammar structure is usually used in spoken Chinese.
|
||||
|
||||
Subj. + 竟然 ⋯⋯
|
||||
|
||||
You can also drop out the 然 and use just 竟. This can be used in spoken or written Chinese.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Note that it can be difficult to translate the word 竟然 into an appropriate English word. Sometimes it's just a _feeling_ that doesn't come across well in English unless you can hear the tone of voice.
