What is the difference between 平时 and 一般 ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
意大利的学生一般不习惯早上8点上课。
Why can't I substitute 平时 for 一般 and 一般 for 平时 in the sentences above?
Also, what does 一会 mean?
- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)
In 2nd example, using 一般 would mean the statement applies generally to Italian students, despite there might be exceptions that some students are used to waking up at 8.
If 平時 is used, it would mean the situation is generally applied to the daily routine, implying in some particular days or situations, they are forced to wake up at the unusual hour of 8am.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)
平时 means "normally" while 一般 means "generally". They have the same meaning. 一会 means "a while".
