怪不得

No wonder with 怪不得

Structure 怪不得 + (what now makes sense)

怪不得 (guàibude) expresses that, once you know the reason, something stops being surprising: "no wonder…". 下雪了,怪不得这么冷 = "it snowed; no wonder it’s so cold". It usually follows learning the cause, heading the now-understood result.

Examples

  • guàidegāoxìng

  • xiàxuěleguàidezhèmelěng

    It snowed—no wonder it’s so cold.
