Hi friend,

Welcome back to your Chunk of the Week! 🌟 This week, let’s dive into an essential phrase that will help you sound more natural and fluent in Chinese.

This week’s chunk:
几乎天天 (jī hū tiān tiān) – "Almost every day."

It’s a handy expression to describe actions or habits that happen nearly every day. It’s something you’ll definitely use when talking about routines or frequent activities.

Here’s how to use it in context:

我几乎天天去跑步。 (Wǒ jī hū tiān tiān qù pǎo bù.) – I go running almost every day.
她几乎天天都喝茶。 (Tā jī hū tiān tiān dōu hē chá.) – She drinks tea almost every day.

Practice tips:

Try creating your own sentences using "几乎天天" about your daily life or routines.
Focus on using it with different verbs, like "吃" (chī – eat), "工作" (gōng zuò – work), or "学习" (xué xí – study).

💡 Bonus tip: Notice that “几乎天天” works really well with verbs related to daily activities. So if you’re describing something that’s almost a regular habit, this is your go-to phrase!

Keep practicing, and remember: Small chunks every week lead to big progress! If you keep using this expression in conversation, you’ll sound even more natural in no time.
