+
+
+
+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 。
+
+ - She is considered a genius.
+- 这 _算_ 秘密 吗 ?
+
+ - Is this considered a secret?
+- 她 _算_ 不 _算_ 你 女朋友 ?
+
+ - Can she be considered your girlfriend or not?
+- 美国 的 中国 菜 _算_ 中国 菜 吗 ?
+
+ - Can American Chinese food be considered Chinese food?
+- 我们 认识 ,但是 不 _算_ 朋友 。
+
+ - 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** 。

+

+- 你 老板 _算_ 大方 **的** ,我 老板 更 小气 。
+
+ - 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 。
+
+ - This exam isn't that difficult.

+
+ - Getting married when you're 30 can't be considered late.

+- 剪 个 头发 五十 块 ,_不 算_ 贵 。
+
+ - 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 。
+
+ - He is considered a genius.
+- 他 _算_ **是** 天才 。
+
+ - You could say he's a genius (I guess).
+
+## Colloquial Sayings

+
+- _算_ 你 狠!
+
+ - Well aren't you tough!
+- 你 _算_ 老几 ?
+
+ - So you think you're some kind of big shot?
+- 这 _不 算_ 什么 。

+ - It's no big deal.
