Almost with 几乎

Structure 几乎 + Verb / adjective

几乎 (jīhū) means "almost": something that fell just short. 我几乎每天都跑步 = "I run almost every day"; 他几乎没睡觉 = "he hardly slept". It goes before the verb. It pairs often with 都 (几乎都) and with negation (几乎不/没).

Examples

我wǒ几jī乎hū每měi天tiān都dōu跑pǎo步bù。

他tā几jī乎hū没méi睡shuì觉jiào。
He hardly slept.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
