@studiousme Thanks! and is it unusual or maybe just wrong to say “你表示” = you mean / do you mean?
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@uisce_earraigh Ah, no! That sounds strange. I didn’t see your English example sentence. My wrong.
So you can say:
你是说一般情况吗？

@studiousme 我可不可以说“我在指的是你的摆烂。 = I am referring to your bad behavior.?
Perhaps 在 isn't necessary?

@uisce_earraigh Nope. 😂 摆烂 is not used that way. It is only a verb. Don’t ever use it as a noun. That would probably make the listener confused.
So you can say:
我说的是你的不良行为。

@uisce_earraigh Also, 摆烂 is an internet slang word. We use it only between friends or on social media. And you’re welcome.

@studiousme Is my translation of it correct? 摆烂 = bad behavior?
And could you give me an example sentence using it as a verb, if you don't mind?🙏

@uisce_earraigh 摆烂 is an actual word, this is certainly true. But we don’t use it like that. We use 摆烂 to talk about living or studying without any pressure of tasks and not working very hard at things that you should do well.
Ex: 你别看你高中这会儿特别努力，上大学了你可能就会摆烂了。
