Numerical Adjectives Quantifiers

Numerical Adjectives Quantifiers

Numericals and quantifiers are usually combined directly, and they both modify nouns in quantity. But in Chinese, sometimes an adjective is inserted between the numeral and the quantifier, forming the form of "numeral adjective quantifier". For example: He is carrying a big bag of stuff in his hand. The expressive function of this structure is mainly to emphasize the size of the quantity, which contains a certain sense of exaggeration. Please pay attention to the following points when using it:

(1) If the quantifier is a temporary noun quantifier, it is generally easier to insert an adjective. For example: He had a big bowl of rice at night.

(2) If the quantifier is a proper noun quantifier, it is subject to more restrictions and should be used with caution. For example: He is carrying a large piece of luggage.

(3) The adjectives that can be inserted are limited, mainly including a few monosyllabic adjectives such as "big, small, thick, thin, long".
