</TOC>
The word 算 (suàn) has a number of uses which can be translated in a number of ways. The common theme is that 算 indicates some kind of judgment and may be thought of as "counts as" or "is considered to be."
## Used with a Noun
This essentially expresses that one "considers" something to be something else, as in, "I consider her a genius."
### Structure
Subj. (+ 不) + 算 + Noun
### Examples
- 她 _算_ 天才 。
<!-- - Tā _suàn_ tiāncái. -->
- She is considered a genius.
- 这 _算_ 秘密 吗 ？
<!-- - Zhè _suàn_ mìmì ma? -->
- Is this considered a secret?
- 她 _算_ 不 _算_ 你 女朋友 ？
<!-- - Tā _suàn_ bu _suàn_ nǐ nǚpéngyou? -->
- Can she be considered your girlfriend or not?
- 美国 的 中国 菜 _算_ 中国 菜 吗 ？
<!-- - Měiguó de Zhōngguó cài _suàn_ Zhōngguó cài ma? -->
- Can American Chinese food be considered Chinese food?
- 我们 认识 ，但是 不 _算_ 朋友 。
<!-- - Wǒmen rènshi, dànshì bù _suàn_ péngyou. -->
- We know each other, but can't be considered friends.
## Used with an Adjective
### Affirmative Form
算 can also be used with an adjective. It adds a sense of "comparatively speaking," as in, "in the grand scheme of things, this counts as...."
#### Structure
Subj. + 算 + Adj. + 的
#### Examples
- 这 家 店 的 东西 _算_ 便宜 **的** 。
<!-- - Zhè jiā diàn de dōngxi _suàn_ piányi **de**. -->
- The things in this shop are pretty cheap.
- 我 女儿 _算_ 听话 **的** 。
<!-- - Wǒ nǚér _suàn_ tīnghuà **de**. -->
- My daughter pretty much does what she's told.
- 在 我们 公司 ，我 _算_ 年轻 **的** 。
<!-- - Zài wǒmen gōngsī, wǒ _suàn_ niánqīng **de**. -->
- I'm considered young in our company.
- 你 老板 _算_ 大方 **的** ，我 老板 更 小气 。
<!-- - Nǐ lǎobǎn _suàn_ dàfang **de**, wǒ lǎobǎn gèng xiǎoqì. -->
- Your boss could be said to be generous. My boss is even stingier.
### Negative Form
This is essentially a straight negation of the affirmative form, but because it's so commonly used, it's worth giving providing extra examples.
#### Structure
Subj. + 不 + 算 + Adj.
Note that you don't need add a 的 here.
#### Examples
- 这 次 考试 _不 算_ 难 。
<!-- - Zhè cì kǎoshì _bù suàn_ nán. -->
- This exam isn't that difficult.
- 三十 岁 结婚 _不 算_ 晚 。
<!-- - Sānshí suì jiéhūn _bù suàn_ wǎn. -->
- Getting married when you're 30 can't be considered late.
- 他 才 一 米 七 五 ，_不 算_ 高 。
<!-- - Tā cái yī mǐ qī wǔ, _bù suàn_ gāo. -->
- He's only 1.75 meters tall. He can't be considered very tall.
- 剪 个 头发 五十 块 ，_不 算_ 贵 。
<!-- - Jiǎn gè tóufa wǔshí kuài, _bù suàn_ guì. -->
- Fifty kuai for a haircut. It can't be considered expensive.
## Adding a Tone of Reluctance with 算是
For both the noun and adjective patterns above, the "judgment" indicated by 算 can be made more reluctant by following 算 immediately with a 是.
- 他 _算_ 天才 。
<!-- - Tā _suàn_ tiāncái. -->
- He is considered a genius.
- 他 _算_ **是** 天才 。
<!-- - Tā _suàn_ **shì** tiāncái. -->
- You could say he's a genius (I guess).
## Colloquial Sayings
A few common examples:
- _算_ 你 狠！
<!-- - _Suàn_ nǐ hěn! -->
- Well aren't you tough!
- 你 _算_ 老几 ？
<!-- - Nǐ _suàn_ lǎojǐ? -->
- So you think you're some kind of big shot?
- 这 _不 算_ 什么 。
<!-- - Zhè _bù suàn_ shénme. -->
- It's no big deal.
