不但…而且… (bùdàn… érqiě…) - Not only... but also...
Processing keyword: 不但…而且… (bùdàn… érqiě…) - Not only... but also...
The construction 不但…而且… is used in Mandarin Chinese to express that one thing is true and another related thing is also true. It emphasizes that two or more statements are positive and adds a sense of richness to the description.
The structure follows this pattern:
不但 + Clause 1 + ,而且 + Clause 2
The example translates to: "Not only can he speak Chinese, but he can also speak English." This emphasizes both abilities rather than just one.
Chinese | Pinyin | English |
---|---|---|
不但 (bùdàn) | bù dàn | not only |
而且 (érqiě) | ér qiě | but also |
+---------------------+
| 制作视频 (Make videos) |
| |
不但 (bùdàn) + 而且 (érqiě) |
| |
| 播放音乐 (Play music) |
+---------------------+
This structure is similar to the English "not only... but also..." However, Mandarin emphasizes the positive nature of each statement more heavily. Similar Grammar Points:

The use of 不但…而且… can convey a sense of pride or admiration in conversational contexts, showing agreement or highlighting multiple qualities in someone or something.
This structure can be used in both formal and informal contexts but is particularly effective in formal speech or writing.
