As an adverb, 就 (jiù) can be placed before the [predicate](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Predicate) to add emphasis. It often has an intense or provocative feel to it, similar to "just." In English we might say, "it's _just_ not right!" This emphasis very often appears as 就是 in Chinese.
|
||||
|
||||
## Used as "Is Exactly"
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
就是 + Noun
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 那个 人 _就是_ 她 的 新 男朋友。
|
||||
<!-- - Nàge rén _jiùshì_ tā de xīn nánpéngyou. -->
|
||||
- That guy is her new boyfriend.
|
||||
- 他 _就是_ 你 要 找 的 人 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā _jiùshì_ nǐ yào zhǎo de rén. -->
|
||||
- He's just the person that you're looking for.
|
||||
- 我们 _就是_ 他 的 家人 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒmen _jiùshì_ tā de jiārén. -->
|
||||
- We're his family.
|
||||
- 你 _就是_ 个 笨蛋！
|
||||
<!-- - Nǐ _jiùshì_ gè bèndàn! -->
|
||||
- A moron is precisely what you are!
|
||||
- 他 _就是_ 那个 骗子！
|
||||
<!-- - Tā _jiùshì_ nàge piànzi! -->
|
||||
- That con man is him!
|
||||
|
||||
## Used as "Only Because"
|
||||
|
||||
就是 can be used to intensify the predicate to mean "only (because of) that and nothing else." In this case, 是 can't be omitted. In many cases, you could also add in an 因为, but it's not required.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 他 不 去 旅游 _就是_ 不 想 花钱 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā bù qù lǚyóu _jiùshì_ bù xiǎng huāqián. -->
|
||||
- He didn't travel only because he doesn't want to spend the money.
|
||||
- 你 不 参加 比赛 _就是_ 怕 输 吗 ？
|
||||
<!-- - Nǐ bù cānjiā bǐsài _jiùshì_ pà shū ma? -->
|
||||
- You're not entering the competition just because you're afraid of losing?
|
||||
- 他 这样 说 _就是_ 不 喜欢 我 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā zhèyàng shuō _jiùshì_ bù xǐhuan wǒ. -->
|
||||
- He said this only because he doesn't like me.
|
||||
- 她 问 这么 多，_就是_ 担心 你 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā wèn zhème duō, _jiùshì_ dānxīn nǐ. -->
|
||||
- She asked so many questions only because she's worried about you.
|
||||
- 她 _就是_ 漂亮 ，没 别的 优势 。
|
||||
<!-- - Tā _jiùshì_ piàoliang, méi biéde yōushì. -->
|
||||
- She's just pretty; she doesn't have any other strengths.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other Usage
|
||||
|
||||
In the examples above, 就 pairs exclusively with the verb 是. But 就 can also come before other verbs, with similar emphatic effect. In these cases, it's also OK to use 就是 before the other verbs as well.
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
就(是) + (不) + Verb
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- 我 _就_ 要 去！
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ _jiù_ yào qù! -->
|
||||
- I just want to go!
|
||||
- 我 _就是_ 喜欢 他。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ _jiù shì_ xǐhuan tā. -->
|
||||
- I just like him.
|
||||
- 我 _就_ 不 告诉 你 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ _jiù_ bù gàosu nǐ. -->
|
||||
- I'm just not going to tell you.
|
||||
- 我 父母 _就是_ 不 让 我 一个人 去 。
|
||||
<!-- - Wǒ fùmǔ _jiùshì_ bù ràng wǒ yīgèrén qù. -->
|
||||
- My parents simply won't let me go alone.
|
||||
- 这个 学生 *就是*不 听 老师 的 话 。
|
||||
<!-- - Zhège xuéshēng _jiùshì_ bù tīng lǎoshī de huà. -->
|
||||
- The student just wouldn't listen to his teacher.
|
||||
|
||||
As you may have noticed, many of these uses of 就 or 就是 carry a flippant, stubborn tone, referred to as 任性 (rènxìng) in Chinese.
